Our experience back in early April was similar to @condorthb's - I'm pretty sure we were always asked if we were DVC. We're not direct members and would reply back with a similar response, and had a similar outcome. But that said, we didn't do a ton of shopping, and half the time we weren't...
100% - I was very appreciative of CM's who did this. I was never frustrated with any cast members (just frustrated at Disney for creating this situation) - really just uncomfortable at times when checking out.
Sometimes I would explain I'm DVC but not eligible for discounts (which half the...
This is the worst!
We're also resale only and just went to WDW for the first time as a "DVC member" in April.
It was awkward, and I found it to be super frustrating at times. I was never asked if I "had any discounts", rather I was always asked "are you DVC?" When asked at the Polynesian gift...
Also, with regards to making sense of genie+, I second @kylenne 's recomendation to watch ear scouts. The have a whole playlist dedicated to Genie+ / Lightening Lane:

Good suggestions above ^
Also, while I agree printed is always out of date to a greater extent than online "print" - Not everything has changed since the last version of the Unofficial Guide. I still order that book before going to WDW. I got the kindle version last time...
We did the Tron Identity Program today (4/5) and I thought I'd briefly post about our experience - we just got back from an extended evening at Magic Kingdom so I'm keeping this short as I need to get some sleep, but I'm happy to answer any questions when I'm back online.
Overall summary:

EDIT: Cancelled on 3/30 @ 9:38pm ET
Another reservation I need to cancel - I'll keep it for the next couple of days in case someone wants to coordinate:
Saturday April 1st - Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant - Party of 6 - 2:25pm
EDIT: Cancelled on 3/30 @ 9:43pm ET
I have a reservation I'm going to cancel - I'll keep it for the next couple of days in case someone wants to coordinate:
Sunday April 2nd - Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' - Party of 8 - 7:30pm
I'll let you know... but I still haven't decided how to tackle the parks. I've got three weeks to come up with our strategy :)
My parents will be joining us for the first half of the trip. They won't be doing any rides and most likely won't spend much time in the parks with us, but we have...
Thanks for the advice @coasternut22 ! I'll check out those videos.
For this trip, we're thinking we're not going to try and do everything. We were exhausted at the end of our trip in 2019. That said, we want to hit all the new rides since 2019 (so Remy's, GoG, Tron, MRR, RoTR) and hit our...
Last time we were in WDW was 2019 - and we did our typical early morning strategy (with FP+ booked ahead of time) - trying to get to the parks before opening each morning.
We'd usually follow a custom Touring Plans plan which had us wrapping up early afternoon, and then we'd head back to the...
I think the corniness is the one of the reasons to see it! I think @CaptainAmerica's take on it is pretty good. But you don't have to be someone that gets involved to enjoy it .
Your kids may love it, or maybe not (depending on what they find funny - do they like campfire skits?)
I honestly...
Looks like it hasn't come back yet since the covid changes, but here's some info
This is a great detailed review from 2018: https://wdwprepschool.com/review-of-the-marceline-to-magic-kingdom-tour-at-disney-world/
Someone asked on plandisney in the fall, but the respnse was just that it's not...
Does anyone know when this tour is coming back?
We're going the first week in April and would love to do this when we're down there.... if they're offering it again.
Thanks for clarifying CarolynFH!
Yeah, makes sense that the message displayed on the DVC site isn't the same message they show for normal hotel reservations.
I'm also worried about this... and I'm wondering if there's any chance they'll complete the renovations early (We're planning a trip for the first week of April).
Here's the statement on the DVC site:
2023 Refurbishments
The feature pool and whirlpool spas at the adjacent Disney’s...
Your doctor wasn't sure?.. and didn't bother to find out for you?
I'm not a doctor, so my advice is to find a doctor who knows the answer... but, you wouldn't be the first transplant patient to ride on a roller coaster...
