The character experience is unavailable the week I'll be there. I'm imagining that Elsa has some PTO scheduled.

It'd have been great to include Fort Wilderness Cabin folks in the Wilderness Lodge event. There will be something like 30 cabins open and only so many will be occupied by eligible members. Would it have hurt to invite? There are only so many people like me who would even consider going from cabin to WL just for a coffee mingle. I will figure out how to get to Saratoga for ice cream.

Overall, I'm mostly happy they're doing stuff that's nicer than a free pass holder magnet. I'm slightly disappointed that many won't be able to enjoy much of it unless in the right place at the right time.

It's nice they're doing this. I wonder why though.....?

Oh.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Already at DHS on a Monday in August so I’ll gladly grab free $6 ice creams!

 

[Batman'sParents]

Interesting they are giving out the 20% QSR on mobile orders at select QSR. That is the same discount that cast members get for QSR.

Yes, but it's a discount code you can only use once.

Hope they slip that one to resale DVC guests. Sometimes wires cross.

Usually mobile ordering automatically applies the discount to all members, so this one should also.

 

[C33Mom]

I recognize it’s probably much more expensive, but I wish we could have had a few more Moonlight Magic events instead.

 

[ToTBellHop]

The 20% QSR discount code on a mobile order is WHW20

I presume it’ll only work once so I wouldn’t waste it on a small order.

Doesn’t look like it’s working for the resale degenerates (me) during testing.

Do you get other Member Exclusives or did you buy in too late?

Too late.

 

[LuvtheGoof]

Too late.

Hope this doesn't offend. I'll remove if it does.

Website says it's a Membership Extra thing. Sorry.

But for those eligible, note that it says one "per eligible member" and not "per membership" so if having two or more people on the eligible membership then each member should be able to use the code once each.

Here are instructions for anyone needing:

 

[Doberge]

We were at WDW for a week but we're only able to use the quick service discount (each member was able to use) and character warehouse discount. We saved about $75.

Most everything else was not running our week (character meet), out of the way (Saratoga ice cream), or we were ineligible (not at resorts with coffee). Didn't think about ice cream when we were at AK when it was offered.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Has anyone been able to confirm whether you need to be staying on points to redeem?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

We got the free ice creams at Saratoga twice despite staying on cash, not points, so that's cleared up.
