Finally got the official word today! Does it really take up to 30 days to receive a welcome home letter? We're not already members, so I can't get into the member site until I receive a member number and one-time code. Anyway of speeding up that process or do I just need to wait for my letter to eventually arrive?

About 11 weeks from offer to points-in-account.

This international sale definitely added on many weeks when compared to my first, standard, resale contract. People have written that they did not see any difference, but I think non-North-American international seller is a different animal than sellers from Canada.

Closed and recorded! Just curious for those of you who called DVC Member Admin for their activation code - what number did you use as the "deed" number? Is it the DOC # at the top of the Warranty Deed on the OC site? I'm heading to Disney on Wednesday and staying at BLT. I know it's really pushing it time-wise, but hoping to maybe get my Club Member ID in order to be able to go up to Top of the World Lounge!

**UPDATE**

Don’t know the answer to your question but if you are staying at BLT, might it be on rented points? If so, could you not ask the renter for their member ID to use to access TOTWL?

I am staying on rented points, but my understanding is you need to be an owner to access TOTWL (ie. rented points don’t apply). I believe they typically check your member number as well as ID. Since we are actually owners now I’m hoping it won’t be an issue - we just haven’t received our member ID yet. If it doesn’t work out, no big deal - we’re actually staying at BLT again in January so I’m sure we’ll be able to utilize it that time.

It might be worth a try. I recall reading in a thread here discussing TOTWL about how resale and direct members all have access to TOTWL specifically. And then on another thread that people staying at resorts through renting points qualify for all exclusive benefits that are associated with those rented points (ie. free resort self-parking, pool hopping, etc).
