What perk would you want to see added?

Yes, but what is more valuable to Disney in the long run, a family that has just enough points for a trip once every other year in a GV, or people that stay in studios/one bedrooms several times per year? I think bringing back resort delivery from the theme parks would have people spending more money overall, I know I don't want to carry stuff around all day.

For the DVD division, I don’t think they care who is visiting or how often. My guess is they only care about maximizing points sold to people who may not even use them but will pay the dues on them - a tier system seems to me another way to squeeze even more revenue out of already captive DVC owners.

I like the perk idea of resort delivery for DVC owners! That’s a great way for them to squeeze more merchandise revenue out of us.

Yes this, we wanted a picture frame after tianas bayou adventure that was really heavy and when she told us they used to deliver and now they don't we changed our mind 😔
 
I know it's not a DVC perk although maybe it should be, but these are really nice resorts and no room service except GF? Sometimes your just tired and don't want to go to a restaurant or cook something or even go to the lobby for ubereats lol. Also would love to see some resorts spas open back up, why the closures, the covid excuse has sailed. Hotel guests Extended park hours only on certain days at a specific park that you have to have a ticket on that exact day is limiting to someone that doesn't have an AP. I wish it was if you have a park ticket that day you could go. Also animal kingdom closing at 6 when we went is sooo early. Just some observations from our trip last month, everything else was fabulous!

Weren't the spas operated by a contractor, not directly by Disney? I wonder if maybe they weren't profitable enough to find an operator? I just assumed that the DVC resorts that are attached to cash resorts have room service, if the cash side offers room service? OKW never had room service as a free standing condo style resort, and I assume SSR never had it either. So I never noticed, as I have only stayed at Kidani and Poly once, each, all the rest of my stays have been OKW.

Ah would also love Mousekeeping to come more often. The whole them coming if your staying 8 days seems intentional to me because most people book 7 day stays initially and might leave it at that. My OCD wants every resort i stay at to be one full week so if i stay 3 weeks like this, no mousekeeping at any. But they sure do want to come to your room everyday and see what your doing 🤣🤣 I pressed them on this asking why they have to come if they're not cleaning and they said "for your security inspection" i said I'm doing just fine, very safe and secure, and would like to sleep and chill without being disturbed so don't come please. They told me they had to and I said "if I said I'm fine and there's no security issue then why? What exactly are they looking for because when they come they're in here for two seconds not really inspecting anything." She then told me "Disney doesnt tell us why" i know I'm being a brat i just want to know the real reason why and why won't they tell me 🤣🤣

My guess - it has nothing to do with your benefit, much less your security. The daily check is about validating the integrity of Disney property once a day and affirming you are not a problem guest for them.
 
Another wishlist perk: tiered benefits based on point totals that include allowing non-home resort owners to get more than 7 months booking priority (but less than home resort 11 month priority). That shouldn’t cost DVC anything, shouldn’t hurt home resort owners, and should stimulate even more point sales for DVC.

I fully agree with this, it's for them to see what's going on, maybe making sure there's not a bunch of people in the room either
 
  • Earlier dining reservation windows
  • Earlier LL reservation windows
  • Quick service discount to go with the table service discount
  • Ticket discounts that we can use for anyone on a reservation (not just those living at the same address)
  • 1 (or more) day(s) of LLMP included when staying on direct points
  • Or the ability to make/hold 4 LLMP reservations instead of 3 ahead of time
  • 1 extra day a week of even earlier entry or an additional extended hours ONLY for DVC (every member staying on site that day)
  • Free popcorn refills after buying a bucket (like Aulani)
  • Free resort mug every stay (or maybe the first stay of your use year)
  • Dining Plan Discount (otherwise why would members buy it if they get a discount on the regular menu)
  • Preferential mobile order pickup

The policy of daily checks started right after, and because of, the Mandalay Bay shooting in Vegas.

They want to ensure you are not stockpiling items that you shouldn’t be.

I've heard this too, but they don't really check much it would be easy to hide contraband...

No joke, we had a 6 night stay booked at RIV as part of a spit stay and I wanted to add a day. So now I have 7 days but my brain gets itchy thinking one more day and I get mousekeeping 🤔 So now we have 8 days there and I’m shifting our whole trip.

I believe it because I think like this too. I'm like just one more day and ill get it so I need to book it like that even tho I don't really want to 🤣🤣

Wait we don’t get mousekeeping on the 4th day unless you’re staying 8+ days? I just thought you got mousekeeping every 4 days, regardless of how long the stay is beyond that…I honestly don’t remember my last few trips have either been too short or 9 days lol

If you stay 8 days plus then you get full mousekeeping on day 4, if not just trash and towel service day 4
