Membership Magic Beyond

Except the TIW card already set the precedent…while that was for AP holders as well, it certainly was a pay for play for a DVC entitlement.

Except that program (Disney Dining Experience), was for Florida residents only.
Availability expanded into AP and DVC later on.

I know. But the concept that was being discussed was a pay for play and that this program was a new concept that Disney hadn’t done.

So, I still say that TIW was the same ideas…pay for play that was offered to DVC…not exclusively…for no other reason than to unlock discounts.

Not comparing the value in any way, but rather this isn’t the first thing DVC owners are being given the option to purchase to unlock discounts.

I guess you can say anything is pay to play.
If you buy into the AP feature, admission is free. Buy into the dining plan, and food is free.

I personally dont see this program as pay for play. Others do.

You pay X and get Y…it’s either worth it or not and those who find value will buy and those who don’t won’t.

I will always be a fan of programs that offer owners a choice for more value than less. And for me, this program is a move in that direction and happy to see them attempting to give us more ways to enhance our membership.

If you know Disney, you know what’s coming, no need for hypotheticals.

Then why worry about it? It's coming anyways

JK, I'm just the king of person that don't worry about most things, but I understand not everybody is like that.

This flowchart was made for me

Honestly, that’s the best way to live. You will likely live longer than me (and be happier) with that attitude.

I have yet to see anyone on this thread that is against the extras for extra money, most everyone is for it, indifferent to it and won’t buy it but don’t care that it exists, or, like me, only cares about the lounge priority being put in there. I don’t care if they lower it to 5 dollars or raise it to 500 next year, I’ll never buy it. If DVC truly cared, and if it wasn’t a trial balloon, they would have removed the lounge access part. That’s pretty much my entire argument.
