YES! Rentals are ridiculous right now! DH and I just paid $389 for 4 days in Phoenix last week. Plus they charged us a $200 deposit to boot. Our rental was Chevy Malibu that had almost 50,000 miles on it and was beat to death. Rental car companies used to get rid of cars at around 20,000. My guess is they can't replace them, so they are keeping them longer. I did look at Turo, but I've never used them and I'm nervous to try them.
Hey you were in my neck of the woods!
DH had a conference in Scottsdale. My first trip ever to that area. He went to classes and I played. Went to Taliesin by myself and shopped. I enjoyed the no humidity and good hair days!
So nice to be retired and get to tag along with him now.
You were in the rich side of the valley lol. We live on the west side of Phoenix. Don't really get to Scottsdale too much but it is nice. Yeah no humidity sure is nice!DH had a conference in Scottsdale. My first trip ever to that area. He went to classes and I played. Went to Taliesin by myself and shopped.

I was there last Saturday, just quick overnight break. We had just missed the MK boat so were waiting on the dock for awhile for its return. In that time we didn't see any boats heading between the resorts and the lake was quiet except for the ferries sailing people to/from the MK. Doesn't mean they aren't running between the resorts at all, just don't count on it.
Was it always just for members?Just received the April Member Insider email and it states,
”The reimagined Top of the World lounge will reopen soon for members and their guests!”…..
Yep, and if I remember correctly, you have to have bought your points directly from Disney now too.

Luv deals with this constantly at work, and the issue is that members have to download the actual QR code from their MDE which can be a pain. The digital image that you can call up from the website may prove you are a DVC member, but if you're purchasing anything and wanting a discount, then the CMs will need the actual QR code. Maddening? Yes. Typical Disney IT effort? Also yes.
Thank you for mentioning MDE. I don't think I ever heard I had to go through that to add it to the wallet, just assumed since it showed DVC there I was done. So I just tried again to add the card to my digital wallet. It crashed twice, then finally was there when I checked after the second crash.Luv deals with this constantly at work, and the issue is that members have to download the actual QR code from their MDE which can be a pain.

HOME! Truly, all one ever needs to be a Groupie is a love of the Lodge, but we're all thrilled you'll be an actual owner here. There is something special about that resort, and obviously, you felt it, too. We hope you continue to join in our conversations and become part of our family. Grab a rocker and set a spell!
They're not supposed to take a digital card brought up on your phone anymore, only the version imported into your Apple or Android Wallet. As an aside, why would you hand someone your phone and allow them to flip through it to begin with?
Congratulations and Welcome Home!!
Don, I was in Ogas Cantina trying to land the illusive ROTR ride time right at 1pm(when that was still a thing before LL came along), and a CM could tell this non-tech, old man was having issues with trying to navigate it all. He asked if he could help which I was totally obliging too, and he landed us a ride time. So in TBs defense, I get it. In the heat of the moment when help is needed, we may be vulnerable to the moment, and not think what bad can happen, but rather, we need help. I still have faith in mankind and feel most people are good and have good intentions. Call me naive, but I still feel this deep in my heart. Got a feeling twinklebug may feel the same.
