“what’s the catch”

So sad. Once upon a time we’d have been boasting about here they go again exceeding our expectations.

Now we know they’re coming at us to sell something

That is almost everyone"s attitude. Most people think it is a trial run for the paid service that there have been rumors about paid DVC Memebership +

I think only if tou are staying in the bungalows :pensive:

My requests (for starters):

  1. Room ready, on arrival, room temperature precisely 72 degrees.
  2. Welcome cocktail waiting for me. Shaken, not stirred.
  3. Welcome snacks, small munchies that kind of thing
  4. Unpacking service.
  5. Santa Claus to my room early Christmas morning, but not too early
  6. Dinner for my party of 12, no questions asked, for Christmas Dinner at the restaurant of my choice.

(I can keep going…)

People are getting their room requests and all of their ADR requests apparently so, not too far off…

I would like that welcome cocktail.

Thanks! All that I REALLY want out of this would be a room request anyway. My ADRs are long booked.

I’d read of one person getting the email, who was staying at Riviera. He/she got the email about 90 days ahead of time.

However I haven’t had an email about our Christmas stay which is 2 weeks at OKW and BLT.

I’m also sceptical. Are they really going to be able to book your dining and special “experiences” (tours, cabanas, Savi’s and droid building etc)? Are they going to be able to do it earlier than everyone else? Somehow I doubt it, which means you might be #5 on the list for Dan or Elsie to book for that morning.

Even if they do, be warned that you won’t be able to cancel or even modify them, you’ll need to contact them to do it for you. Unless they’ve updated that part of the system, which I doubt. I remember one time Member Services booked some dining for the second part of a split stay and we couldn’t change the time on them.

But I’d be delighted to be proved wrong,

I’ve also just noticed the bit about GVs and bungalows / cabins.

Sadly we are in a 1-bed followed by a 2-bed. So clearly just plebs in DVC’s eyes. :worried:

If I do get an email, do you think I should ask for a personal visit from Poe Dameron (without the beard)?
