    Amazon delays

    Our experience last month was being charged a package delivery fee when we didn’t have a package delivered. We called about it and they said we must have had something delivered or sent. When we said we did not, they said they would remove the charge as a goodwill gesture. As if they were doing...

    Reservation Pilot Program

    We received this. We have a split stay in a studio/treehouse villa. They did get our dining requests, but we didn’t have really hard to get ones. We also gave them room requests, but I’m guessing that’s no different than calling or using chat which is what we would normally do.

    Boardwalk to Go, Hotdogs?

    It looks like they will be reopening as Blue Ribbon corn dogs. I checked the menu at the Disneyland location. It seems pretty small. It’s kind of disappointing. I’m not a huge corn dog fan, but maybe these are better than usual.

    Saw this posted elsewhere: new DVC perk? Awesome

    We just received this email for our sept trip. We have a split stay with 6 people in 2 studios at OKW then moving to a treehouse, and it mentioned both stays. I think we would only use it for dining and maybe room requests. I’m not sure on dining though since it sounds like it may be better to...

    Resort Chick-in

    I don’t believe this because last trip we were at Hollywood studios and they called us to say we could get into a room now (about 1 pm) if we didn’t want to wait for our request, which was a higher floor. They specifically said they saw our arrival time that we listed on the reservation and knew...

    Renting Points

    Yes you make the reservation and just put the renters name and information on it. You still always control the reservation as the owner of the points. So if they didn’t pay you then you could cancel it. You can check out sample contracts. I never felt comfortable renting privately to people I...

    Renting Points

    When we rented our points to people we don’t know we felt safer using a rental company. They gave us 70% of the money when we booked the reservation and the rest at the time of travel. However a lot of people rent directly through this forum or there are Facebook groups for dvc rentals. We only...

    Do you ever use the full cooker?

    Yes we use the full kitchen! We have food allergies and even though Disney is great, we like to make some of our own meals to get a break from always requesting special food preparation. We make most breakfast in the room daily along with some lunches and dinners. Before we had our dvc we stayed...

    Anyone having trouble with DVC website?

    I ended up trying chat and she said she could modify my reservation. I’m trying to add a night. She then said there is no availability. When I check it’s still available so I’m kind of confused by this. I guess that’s why it’s giving me an error, but why would it say my nights are available if...

    Yes I tried that. Thank you anyway. I’m not sure what the problem is. 😞

    Anyone having trouble with DVC website?

    I can’t get the website to work this morning. I’m trying to modify a reservation. I can search and my dates come up as available. When I hit continue I get an error that says service unavailable. Something went wrong. I have tried multiple times since 8:00. I keep getting the same thing.

    DVC Sliders?

    I would fail too. I have no idea who our guide is. Years ago I knew our guides name because he’d call us annually with a reminder of our banking deadline. Then we got a new guide and haven’t received a phone call since. I actually think the guide changed again at least once since the second one.

    2023 Moonlight Magic Dates

    This is the same with us for sept. All this time I’ve been planning to switch resorts and now I’m afraid it won’t work out. I checked now and there is still availability for both of our 2 alternative resorts. I’m hoping we can still make the switch.

    11 month availability - BWV

    I’m worried about it! I have a standard view 2 bedroom booked, but I’m going to change resorts when I hit the 7 month mark. It would probably be fine, but we always stay at the boardwalk so I think trying something different will be nice anyway.

    Your Predictions re Changes to DVC now that Iger is back as CEO

    I wonder if EMH will change back to the way it was before. I kind of hope it doesn’t because I like the evening extended hours for deluxe only. That is one change that has been a plus for us. I would love if genie plus went back to something like the old fast pass system. Even if we have to pay...

    11 month availability - BWV

    This was my experience as well. I was trying to walk a 2 bedroom standard view for September, and never could get the first day. I ended up getting the room a day at a time as it became available.

    DVC Discount on Theme Park Tickets - Will it ever return?

    I get them at Meijer. They run an mperk deal usually about once per month. So you buy $50 gift cards and get $5 back in Mperks to spend at Meijer which I use for my groceries that I would buy there anyway. You can get up to $500 in gift cards each time. One time they had Buy $50 get $10 back...

    DVC Discount on Theme Park Tickets - Will it ever return?

    I miss the ticket discounts too. We purchased them a few times. Last trip we bought from a 3rd party vendor. For our next trip I ended up buying discounted Disney gift cards and then buying tickets directly from Disney. I was able to get about 10% off which I think beats the 3rd party vendors.

    BWV 11 month booking blocked out

    I managed to get a full week in September in a 2 bedroom standard view, but I had to check every day multiple times a day. As soon as I saw a day open up I booked it. It’s very frustrating that it’s so difficult to book 11 months out! I’m intending to switch to another resort at 7 months...

    What's the craziest thing people have seen/brought to a DVC villa?

    When the kids were younger we’d bring a Mickey waffle maker because there was no quick service with Mickey waffles at BWV. I always thought that would look strange if my luggage was inspected.
