The Gold AP voucher will be redeemed as a DVC Sorcerer AP with Memory Maker. You will not have to pay any additional money. If you renew, the clock for the renewal starts on the day that the existing AP expires.

Not everyone reads the details if they book on their own. Some TAs don't know the details, especially those who are not exclusive to booking Disney trips. Even people who are members of the disboards have posted that they failed to make park reservations and could not get into a park back when...

Sounds like they're just reinventing the wheel. Disney had a subscription discount service called the "Disney Club". It was rather short-lived and was replaced by the co-branded Disney Visa. Prior to the Disney Club, there was a free version for employees of favored companies called the Magic...

If yesterday (a party day) was any indication, the MK was almost a ghost town in comparison to today. A lot of people who do not have hoppers will avoid the MK on party days, choosing to go on a day when they can stay later and see the fireworks instead. If you can actually book an ADR for...

Yes. Dues increase every year. Some years they are bigger increases than others. Overall, AKV has higher dues as a result of having to pay for animal care. Booking a non-home resort at 7 months can be hit or miss, depending on the season, size of the resort and type of room you want. With the...

Did you transfer points in from an OKW member? That's one possible reason. Or did DVC extend your points due to COVID restrictions on travel? DVC was using developer points to compensate members whose points were about to expire but could not travel. Those developer points could come from any...

Adding a data point: A Best Buy online eGC order which was placed on 8/24 credited 8/31.

There isn't a way to check DVC availability in a real-time way unless you are a member. Some rental agencies will collect availability data on a regular basis and make those results available to potential renters but since availability is very fluid, the results are not completely accurate...

HS has too many attractions that tend to go down and when they do, standby waits at other rides can reach intolerable lengths. Even on a day like today where attendance levels are relatively low and all rides are working wait times for many attractions at HS are 40+ minutes (MK attractions are...

SOME VGF resort studios have connecting doors. The percentage with connecting rooms is much lower than at Poly. As @Sandisw can attest, it's quite possible to not get two connecting studios at VGF2.

Disney does not hold back inventory. The exception would be convention and other blocks of rooms that don't get filled and are returned to regular cash inventory. If hotels are not operating at 100% capacity due to limited staff, it's possible that more rooms will be made available once new CMs...

While you cannot combine points from different UYs to make an 11-month reservation, you  can make separate, consecutive reservations using each membership. Then, contact MS and ask them to note that you have continuing reservations. In most cases, you will not be moved to another room or need to...

Right. We wouldn't do that to her. She can still do the extra 30 minutes with us in the mornings so we'll just make the best use of that time.

Feb 2024 falls in you October 2023 UY. If you bank the 2022 points and borrow the 2024 points you will have 1075 points to use for the reservation. You won't be able to use the 2025 points.

I only learned this recently. We have a trip coming up and one member of our group decided to stay at a Disney Spring hotel while the rest of us are on site. As a result none of us will be getting ILL$ before park opening .

Contracts with different UYs will have different memberships. You cannot combine the points at 11 months without transferring points from one membership to the other. And even then, you will not be able to make a reservation online using the transferred points until 7 months. You would have to...

Yes. Once per account (not per card) for Chase offers.

Hmm. I'm seeing a lot of studio availability starting 3/31, just not every resort. But that's not quite the start of Easter Week and not everyone books ahead of their start date. It will be interesting to see if availability begins to dry up tomorrow or Friday.

Only select offsite resorts can book ILL$ at 7 AM. S&D, Swan Reserve and SOG. In addition, there are other hotels that are included in the Early Theme Park Entry benefit but their guests cannot book ILL$ until official park opening.

A lot will depend on when you are going and if you are staying on-site. But generally speaking, you should do okay if you research how Genie Plus and ILL$ work well before you arrive. In some ways, G+ works like FP+ but in other ways, it is very different.
