    Changes to DVC Bookings - effective June 2nd

    Close. You’re adding in unnecessary ‘competitive booking’ complexity. I’ll first answer your ‘Can DVC sell more points…’ question as it’s the pretext to the situation as I see it: DVC can only sell 98% of a resort’s points, and the number of points at a resort is fixed. If a resort has 4mil...

    Changes to DVC Bookings - effective June 2nd

    If you’re spending $300/night to occupy a DVC room, Disney would rather you pay them that $300/night to occupy a cash inventory room AND have a DVC member occupy the DVC room. On top of that, “DVC’s nice but the commercial renters make booking so hard” is bad word of mouth from owners to...

    News Victoria & Albert’s awarded MICHELIN Star

    I guess that explains Yachtsman on the phone asking, “how many Israels you got?”

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser now available with 30 percent discount for Walt Disney World Annual Passholders

    I'm curious what they mean by "only applicable for new reservations". Will they catch/block someone from canceling and rebooking?

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    I would too if it were straightforward, but I don't know if I could if the surrounding dates were rooms booked with DVC points. It would depend how much warning there is and what DVC availability looked like.

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Of the voyages they canceled, I'd be very interested in the percentage of people who rebooked for a different date. If they did that to us, we probably wouldn't rebook imminently as we plan our travel far in advance, mostly thanks to DVC. Also think it's fascinating that they have...

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Completely agree on these points. You can peruse the entire ship and fully enjoy Sublight Lounge (drinks and Sabacc) between boarding and muster, just a few hours. Yeah, there's parts you can't explore until the story unlocks them later but the locked spaces are purpose-built for the story...

    Have they been blocked off on the calendar previously? Or just "sorry, it's not available" when you call?

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    I'm a lurker more than a poster, but thought I'd post my experience from a voyage in early May. An element of this will be how my opinion has shifted over time on the Starcruiser. Lead up Admittedly, I got very excited for this trip, more than normal. It was a trip where we were doing something...

    Ticket price increase / FP+ changes coming?

    $171 per person is a bargain compared to VIP tours (over $3500 for 7hrs most days of the year, max 10 people). I'd expect the price to be much higher in WDW, if such a thing is offered at all.

    Ticket price increase / FP+ changes coming?

    Hadn't considered this type of transition. Sounds like this might also be good to start during a (relatively) slow period when the 60/30-day allocation could be pulled back slightly without much issue/detection. Pricing might also need to be a bit higher than I was initially thinking to...

    Ticket price increase / FP+ changes coming?

    This makes sense to me too, but when would they need to announce it? I'm assuming there can be no overlap between the current FP system and the paid FP system. So that means at least 90 days out to avoid Club-level guests from booking into the paid window. Maybe a bit more than that so...
