What perk would you want to see added?

[Steelers0854]

Disney seems to be open to adding perks for DVC members (even if some are paid), but the addition of more lounges is a welcome addition for us. I am curious, what are your “realistic” perks that you might want to see added?

For me, I would like to maybe see earlier access to dining reservations. At first I thought DVC members could book at 61 days, but then I thought that may break the system for others and may create places where you had to be DVC to book a reservation. But what if the system allowed you to book 1 reservation at 61 days out? It would allow you to get that must have restaurant and not break the system for everyone else.

I don't think our DVC ownership should give us a leg up on other folks for anything that isn't DVC related. Our perks shouldn't make things harder for regular folks.

I would love to see the ability to book TS restaurants at your resort more than 60 days out if you have a stay there. I always struggle with the times I want for Narcoossee’s.

I would also really like to have an extra 30 mins early entry on top of the 30 mins given to all on site resorts (plus the many other hotels this covers). I feel like early entry is so crowded it’s barely worth it.

I agree to an extent, but Disney already does this tier benefits system everywhere. Deluxe resorts get extra hours, all Disney hotels get a leg up on booking dining and LL vs off property guests. I don’t want anything game breaking, but for those of us that are willing to make a large investment in the property I think it’s nice to have some small added benefit. Don’t get me wrong, im grateful for the lounges, discounted park tickets, merchandise and dining and other benefits, but it’s always fun to me to think of some other things the can do to support those who support them.

I actually just mentioned an idea to DH but it's probably not so realistic. We are locals with DVC and we love to park around the BW/BC area and do a little jaunt into Epcot world showcase. We can't park unless we have a dining resie though. We own 205 BWV points (along with smaller contracts at CCV and AKV) and would love a parking pass for BWV. They could give blue card, annual pass DVC folks (maybe those who pay for that new member magic upgrade thing) a parking pass (for just 1 home resort). Could have block out dates like Christmas week. We would love that.

I wouldn't be surprised if Disney doesn't restrict EE to Deluxe guest only at some point in the future. With them building nothing but DVC now and in the years to come, something will probably give.

Monthly payment plans for AP or MKs. They allow it for CA and FL residents. Plus, it wouldn't really cost DVC much to add something like this.

I'd love it if they brought back the ability to purchase Tables in Wonderland for DVC owners. Heck, offer it to whoever they want - just bring it back!

One other thing I thought about was we were at one of MVMCP's during the pandemic - prior to the dessert parties returning. They had a special fireworks viewing area for DVC members - even gave away free ice cream treats. You just had to reserve it in advance. Of course, with the return of the dessert parties that area is now designated for those folks. Still, that was a nice perk and I wish they could bring something like that back.

TIW came up at one of the meetings I attended in December and they said they have no plans to bring it back at this time.

Tables in Wonderland for DVC members , we loved that.

 

[The Jackal]

How about bring back things DVC used to get. Discounts off of After Hours, MNSSHP, fireworks parties, annual passes, TIW etc….

Bring back the gummy bears in the lounges!!!!!!!

 

[muppets3d]

I would love if they would serve fresh popcorn in the lounges. Even if it's self-service.

 

[OnThisMagicNight]

I'd love a discount on Lightning Lane Multi Pass. I know getting it for free will never happen (even though I think most of us have certainly paid enough for our contracts to warrant that!) A small discount would at least be a nice gesture.

 

[muppets3d]

A lifetime resort mug would be nice.

 

[SL6827]

I wonder if the serving of popcorn, gummy bears would be a DVC-Y only perk?

Well the lounges are DVC-Y only so by extension yes.

 

[maui22]

With the 11 month window needed so often for some resorts/rooms, I would like them to release all dates for DVC events a year in advance.

Always knew Members Merry Mixer event was going to be specific day of the week in December.

I would love the ability to buy a combo AP that covers WDW and DL. It seems like it should be a realistic thing that could easily exist, but I also know it's likely it will never exist in any form--DVC or not.

There was, sadly it went away like most things with Covid. It was pricey, but if you made it to both coasts, it could be worth it.

Access to passes and ticket specials for Florida residents.
