Why Castmembers Hate DVC Members!

[anniet]

yeah, I gotta say it's because of things like Mari annie's "I'm smarter with my money than you are" and "you poor stupid underling" attitude that we are getting the heck out of the "burbs of Boston".

I just want everyone to know (because of all the PMs I have received).

I am not Mari Annie!

I only have one current user id, greenban. Thank you.

(We now return you to your currently scheduled thread!)

I think dvc needs to guarantee non smoking non handicapped rooms. I am uncomfortable at check in thinking I might get a smoking room. If I knew these requests were guaranteed I would get over everything else. It creates tension at check in that these requests are not guaranteed. This echoes what Dean said earlier. I believe this is a structural problem that creates friction.

Having said that, I sensed at wvl that the cm's have a problem with dvc members. I mentioned to a vwl cm I was staying at the villas and the reply with what I thought was some disdain was "Oh your staying at the timeshare" end of conversation and the cm walked away. Maybe I imagined the tone.

That's why we never bought into any DVC's at WDW!

We have been going to WDW for 16 years, 2x's yearly, we have seen things ourselves like you have expressed, some families and people are just too high strung, and they are over vacationed* or something, I worked with JQP's (John Q. Public) for years and people do get tiresome, I mean all you are getting for big bucks is renting *space/time* from Disney, it's no different than getting a hotel room there-except you are locked into what month you can go!
You don't have any other rights* than any other JQP!!!
I mean we went to Olivia's for Lunch last year, and we overheard a family talking with another family, you would of thought they OWNED KeyWest themselves, NOT!
Along time ago we took the tour (my son was 1 he is now in HS) and we almost bought into the idea of buying into Disney, we decided no.
You are getting nothing for your money.

We come and stay, and have stayed at all the property's.

But we ended up buying in Celebration instead. I d rather have a key to a real home* that I can go to anytime I want to.
At the time we almost bought, they gave lifetime* tickets--and after 50 years the property was given right back to Disney. No thanks, If I am going to pay for something, my kids/grandkids will enjoy what we had to work so hard for.

We love the whole Disney thing, we go to all the parks, spend a ton when we come, and yes, we will stay at the Poly in two weeks.

To each their very own.

Have fun on all your Disney Trips!

You obviously didn't understand the system. No, matter, it is your loss. But if you got lifetime tickets, that alone would have more than paid for DVC. The rest of us OKW old timer just got tickets that went through the end of 1999. Give us the address in Celebration, we'll arrange for a TP welcome home for you. LOL.

Put up a few Tiki Lights, saw up an old oil drum to use as a BBQ pit,
find a plastic lei,
and Mari annie can pretend she's at the Poly 24/7 !

I am not a DVC memeber and never will be. I think it is a rip when you do the math and especially when in 50 years you have nothing to show for your money but that's another story. I will say that I have never been rude to any CM's ever but I do expect a lot for my hard earned money. If I were a DVC member and I git a dumpster view I would be devestated. I think what CM'c may forget it that for some this is a trip of a lifetime. I think even for DVC memebers it may be the only vacation they take each year and it means the world to them. They have worked all year and they want thier trip to be "magical". I know the view of your room can change the experience dramaticly. I want the best for my money. We work 200+ days a year for this one week of magic in time. I can see why people would get upset. When selling the DVC memebership they sure don't show you the dumpster view you may be getting. Maybe they shouldn't hard sell the DVC memberdhips so hard. Can people pay for differnet views or is it the luck of the draw?
The bottom line is that I don't think CM's realize how precious this week is to people some people. Feelings are bound to fly. I'm not saying it's right but it's going to happen. I would be ticked if I had bought into DVC and I got a dumpster view!!!

Time to get out the DVCCBFD again...can already see the smoke

Well if you did the math you computed something wrong because it isn't a rip off. It isn't for everyone but if you like going to WDW alot then I would say you should rethink your decision. It seems like you would have been perfect for DVC with the amount of trips you take. Depending on how long you stay onsite each time you visit you would have DVC pay for itself in half the time of average visitors. I know for us I wish we did it sooner. Like back when OKW opened. People are selling it now years later for more than they paid for it. How is that being ripped off?
