    We were in a studio, it surprised me because we only have round filters around for Disney.

    New Owners, we did it!

    It is scary and exciting to buy DVC. Members 10+ years now. Only regret is not buying in sooner. Congratulations on years of relaxing Disney vacations to come.

    Does DVC guests get extra hours for free??

    Just a tip for anyone trying to go to extended evening magic hours, MAKE SURE YOU GO TO YOUR FIRST PARK! When trying to book the virtual queue for Tron I was unable to get tickets for half my family because they hadn’t gone to Epcot in the morning in line with our park reservations. Sooooo...

    Magic Bands

    You can use your phone for park entry and should be able to use it to open the room, but sometimes that doesn’t work. In July I found my Apple Watch to work just fine as a magic band replacement, but did need to get several room key cards. Since I have Apple Pay enabled I found paying with my...

    What wrist watches do you wear?

    Apple Watch has worked nicely for me getting into the parks recent trips. Unfortunately this last trip it never worked for opening my room, nor my phone. So it was Apple Watch on wrist, key card in pocket situation. Except I kept forgetting my key card, so by the end of the trip I had acquired...

    Does anyone rent some of their points every year to help offset dues?

    We bought extra points with renting in mind to cover dues. We’ve been owners 12 years now. The only points we’ve ever managed to rent were during the recent Covid years when we just had too many! So be wary, it’s hard to stick to the renting strategy when they are just so fun to use yourself...

    "Park attendance is down"... but is it?

    This past week you could just about walk onto soarin every time we tried, it felt weird. Maybe it’s just not so popular anymore? Felt odd to just walk right on at 2:00 in the afternoon or later.

    SSR Lovers and Owners Part 3

    Definitely recommend driving! The walk will be unbearable. If I remember correct you can park fairly close to the theaters. We drove several times this past week to Disney springs and really appreciated not having to walk in the scorching heat.

    SSR Lovers and Owners Part 3

    We had just spent a week in a two bedroom value at Animal Kingdom. The difference in size and brightness was really quite shocking! We already have quite a few points, but I could see how this magic jump could really sway someone into more points.

    SSR Lovers and Owners Part 3

    Had a happy surprise when I checked into my deluxe studio today. They upgraded us to a two bedroom preferred view!!! I never want to leave. What a beautiful room! We did a little happy dance. Then I checked my reservation like ten times to make sure I didn’t book this room by mistake!

    First Time Staying with DVC - Saratoga Springs Last Minute Trip

    Ack! It’s Moonlight Magic

    I’ve been stalking pretty religiously for a Columbus Day weekend four night stay. Number one, don’t count on your waitlist to come through, you will be much better off finding that bridge day on your own via checking a couple of times a day. From what I’ve seen, SSR preferred view is most likely...

    Interval International Help

    Can someone help me figure out how many points I could possibly have available for II exchanges in 2030? Let’s say I have an August use year, and 300 points. Would the following be possible? Aug 2028 use year - 300 good for 2 years (so could be used through Aug 2030? Aug 2029 use year - 300...

    Casual DVC conversation

    I too would love to be the kind of rich where I could just casually talk about spending tens of thousands of dollars on something I don’t particularly care for like it’s nothing.

    Question for those who rent points out

    I’ve found I have the easiest time renting confirmed reservations that I make at the 7th month mark. I own SSR, but have easily rented Poly, CCV, BLT and other confirmed reservations I make at 7 months out for summer and spring break weeks.
