If it is a hard ticket event … it must have a price to Attend ?

Moonlight Magic is a hard ticketed event and there is no price to attend but you must have a “ticket” or registration.

The villains theming seems a bit strange to me - although I’m honestly not sure why I feel that way. I guess with the Contemporary and Bay Lake Tower retro/futuristic theming there are limited characters that would be perfectly themed (thinking Alice and Mary Poppins at VGF or Timon at AKL). I’m a new DVC direct member (just joined this year), so I don’t know if there is some type of tie to villains for DVC that I’m not aware of. I did notice from some vlogs I watched of Moonlight Magic that those had a villains theme also…

The Villains party will absolutely cost money.

As far as changing perks, TOTWL access is not part of the deeded real estate interest. Disney could close the lounge entirely and no one would have recourse via their deed.

Things like trade are related to the membership in BVTC, and have to do directly with the fractional real estate ownership. They cannot be changed whimsically.

On the DVC website. It says you must be eligible for membership extras so it is indeed now a DVC Y perk.

Eligible Disney Vacation Club Members with access to Membership Extras––who are staying at a Disney-owned-and-operated hotel at Walt Disney World Resort (whether they booked with Vacation Points or cash)––may enjoy access to this exclusive space just outside Magic Kingdom park.

look at the double asterisk you just need a digital membership card. Which resale has. The party is the member benefit. And someone confirmed with DVC on the DVC fan page.

Yes, you need a membership card, and it says for eligible members. I am not going to argue with you. It is clear from the website that this is part of membership extras. All that language I posted is NOT For the single party. It is for daily entrance and it says it is only for those who are eligilbe for membership extras.

Matter of fact, the DVC website doesn't even mention the party.

Again, this is what it takes to access the lounge:

Eligibility

Access to the TOTWL has always required that show your member ID card. I think people are reading too much into that requirement.

[DisneyOutsider]

Wow.. what a downgrade in every way imaginable. They made it worse and now want to charge you extra for the privilege. Very on-brand for WDW these days.

Yes!! this. a resale member has a digital membership card.

 

[Sandisw]

Yes!! this. a resale member has a digital membership card.

But they don't have one that says DVC Y....which means they are not eligible members. You simply can't keep ignoring the line that says you must be eligible for membership extras.

 

[Sandisw]

Access to the TOTWL has always required that show your member ID card. I think people are reading too much into that requirement.

Reading into which way? That just having one gets you in? Or that since resale have it? I don't think that DVC would have gone through all the trouble of using the words "eligible members" if were including everyone.

 

[Just654]

But it has never said that you had to be eligible for membership extras and now it does...you can't simply ignore that line under the eligibility for the lounge.

I am not if you look at the website the first asterisk is for the party. The 2nd is for access to the lounge. We are reading it differently. I am reading that is webpage is mostly for the party. Also, if there isnt a difference why do you need the 2nd double asterisk
