I am planning a Disney vacation in May, arriving on a Sunday but starting parks on Monday… so the only day I have totally free is Sunday.
I was thinking about doing a DVC tour to get the perks . My question is… will I still get the perks if I voluntarily sign up beforehand? Since Sunday is my ONLY possible day

My guess is that you would because you’re still taking time out of your vacation to do it. Are you staying at a hotel that has a DVC desk? Or can you get to Disney Springs on Sunday? Instead of signing up beforehand, you could go to one of those locations and ask if you can do a tour that same day. They’ll transport you back and forth. A couple weeks ago friends of mine walked into the preview center at Saratoga Springs with no appt and got the FPP.

I called before my vacation and was able to book a presentation and got several perks. I even asked them what I would get before booking. When I got there there was some push back as to some of the perks, but in the end, I ended walking out with more than originally promised.

ok thanks to you both.
because I can ONLY do it on Sunday I was fearful of waiting until I got there, as they may not have any available spots that day.
Make sure that they include free Mickey Bars…

Each person gets 3 any time FP and the gift card is based on where you are staying. I would call and set up a time and you can choose what resort to visit. We did AKL in 2018 and WL in 2019 this was a great way to visit some of the resorts.

Do you still get perks if you’ve done the tour before?
Yup we did it 2 years in a row.

Yes you can do it as many times as you want. I believe there is a time frame, but I cannot remember what it is. I want to say every 90 days?
I ended up with 4 anytime fp for each member of my family and a $100 GC. I was originally promised 3 fps per person and the GC. I was also given a birthday pin and several sodas and snacks to bring back to the room.

What did you do to get that’s?
They were a bit snarky with me because I came by myself. When I made the reservation, I was told I could come solo and my party would still get the FPs. Once there, I was told I would get my FPs and gift card but the rest of my party wouldn’t get the FPs. I dug my heels in and said something about bait and switch. They begrudgingly gave me what I was promised, plus a little bonus. Not sure why the change of heart, but I appreciated it!

I hadn’t considered doing this before, I was wary of a hard sell. I’m not interested in buying DVC, someday maybe, so have always avoided this. It never occurred to me I’d get something in return, besides seeing a great resort. Thanks for the tips!

Wife and I did a DVC tour last year at the Poly as we were staying there. Got three anytime FP for both of us and our two kids and a $75 gift card each. Took about an hour total.
How do the anytime FPs work?
Had several exclusions at each park. I don’t remember them all, but I know Mine Train and Peter Pan were excluded at MK. At AK, Pandora rides were excluded. At Epcot, no Frozen. Hollywood Studios was a totally different park then, but all of the TSL stuff was excluded.
Does anybody know what the latest time slot available typically is? I have availability on my arrival day but it’s in the later afternoon, probably closer to 4 once I’m checked in to my resort.
Will I get the fp and gift card even if I sign up for a tour online months in advance? My availability is limited so I want to make sure I get in on the one day I am available
Plus I want the perks
