    Yeah that’s what I was.

    Star View Station at Disneyland - 2024 updates?

    I’d say anytime. It does close sometime in the late afternoon, the outside section is used for the fireworks viewing area (the dine in the sky thing). I’ve never seen it hit capacity and most of the time it’s 20-50% full about. Just was there yesterday and was maybe 15 people in there around 11:00

    Top of the World Lounge only when staying at DVC resort?

    I’d say that is strange given that floor of the elevator has always required room key access (needed to be staying on that floor of BLT). Maybe someone just didn’t show up for work that day.

    Top of the World Lounge only when staying at DVC resort?

    I mean considering they scan your ID card to go up I am not sure if non members are going without trying to avoid the person at the elevator. I agree it’s worth the try to go up assuming they are blue card eligible.

    When should I buy park tickets?

    Not for multi-day tickets only single day tickets do you have to.

    Pay off student loans or DVC in full?

    This is probably the only issue with what you said. That’s nearly impossible to quantify and some of the advice he gives (especially the non-financial points) can be down right harmful to people. I agree with you that snowball can manipulate (don’t mean this negatively) people, I even...

    Top of the World Lounge only when staying at DVC resort?

    I think you have to call Member Services to book the dining experience there. Most of the lounge is first come first served. The Villians Lair experience is about half the seating the nights they do it. The other part of the lounge is just walk ins.

    DVC AP Questions

    Just to add on. I think you may have to call to purchase the Sorcerer Pass from Member Services. It used to be that way when I initially bought, though entirely possible they changed that.

    Top of the World Lounge only when staying at DVC resort?

    The rules is you have to be staying at a Disney owned and operated resort. It can be cash or points. So given she is off site they will more than likely turn her away. You could try booking the dining experience they have I don’t think there is a restriction that you have to be on site to use that.

    Wire receipt and post time Direct to Disney?

    The Thursday wire didn’t go out Thursday likely. Usually wires cut off around 4-5 EST. But yes on Friday the wires would be in their accounts. As soon as your bank sends they technically could get on the phone (and general best practice with Real Estate) and verify the wire was received. I...

    Pay off student loans or DVC in full?

    The problem with Dave Ramsey and this method is most people that follow it think it’s saving them money and the best option from a pure financial perspective. To the point they argue paying the highest off saves you less, I’ve seen this stated on his show. I would much rather see both options...

    Pay off student loans or DVC in full?

    Doesn't matter, you will always come out ahead if you pay off the highest APR. This is because there is no penalty to make accelerated payments on the student loan. They can easily take the payments saved from the DVC and apply that to the student loan and come out ahead.

    Copper Creek Wrong Bathroom Configuration

    Technically you should have gotten a walk in shower. I’d approach the front desk about it and see what they have to say. When I stay there I book a walk in because it guarantees I won’t be on the first floor too. Did you happen to make a request asking for the ground floor?

    Copper Creek Alternate Standard View Studios?

    Also you can only have a shot at a alternative layout if you book a Tub room. Which more than likely gets you a 1st floor room (one level below lobby). So if you want the best shot at an alternative layout, I'd request High floor as my only request, because if granted it will be guaranteed to be...

    ROFR Buyback Clear Resale Restrictions?

    For now, once 2042 hits and a bunch of the resorts expire (especially those that are highly desired), I suspect the only thing that will matter on the resale market is "Is this resort highly desired?" It won't matter at all because SAP will start to become very useless at that point in time...

    Disney Direct Purchase Questions

    They recently changed the POS to say Use Year was attached to a unit to stating that Use Year could be changed. So yes they could change use years. To find out the answer to that question you could ask them if they have any use year available. What you are likely finding is that might be...

    Will a Rental Crackdown Reset DVC Resale Prices?

    I mean checking their website (and the co-sponsor of dvcrentalstore.com) I don't really see these high valued confirmed reservations on their sites. Most of the ones on dvcrentalstore.com seem pretty sporadic and not many Value or Standard rooms. Also their confirmed reservations are extremely...

    Will a Rental Crackdown Reset DVC Resale Prices?

    I've almost done this myself for a contract that was fully loaded and wouldn't have had to pay the dues on the banked points (It was an AUL contract very cheap). I was then going to close, settle then immediately transfer the banked points to cover a reservation I made at 7 months, then transfer...

    Will a Rental Crackdown Reset DVC Resale Prices?

    Correct, though they haven't done so yet and simply instruct you to use 2 different lead guests to avoid it. I think you missed my point I meant all the way to check-in I can't keep myself on both reservations. Disney 1 doesn't allow this and 2 it limits my number of guests I could have. Even...

    Will a Rental Crackdown Reset DVC Resale Prices?

    Well they can own more than 8000 it's just at that point upper management needs to authorize that. Overall the tricky thing with DVC is that we own Deeded Real Estate and they have allowed renting but not commercial renting. Back when they opened OKW they never envisioned how big it would get...
