    First Time Staying Onsite at a Non-DVC Property

    I lucked out a few months ago and got POP for $100/night for April 6-13 but I had to cancel due to my dad's failing health. :( I doubt I will see that price again.

    Wow those room prices at WDW!!!

    Yes, the prices are crazy and keep getting crazier! If you are going to pay for staying onsite, DVC will "pay for itself" soon enough, imo! We bought 150 points at HH in 1999 with a cast member discount (local Disney store employee). I kept track of how much our 4 and 5 night stays (2...

    Disney's POP CENTURY RESORT Information & Questions

    When we were there in October, I thought the salmon was great, too!

    Princess dress got caught at top of moving walkway at POC.

    Very scary situation! When I was a young teen, my tennis shoe started to go into the escalator between the stair and the wall because I was standing too close to the edge. When I noticed, I think I gave a small cry of help and, thankfully, the adult (my "unsung hero") behind me untied my shoe...

    Rain gear

    I always pack the cheap ponchos that have elastic around the wrists and a drawstring hood. I take bread bags for wearing between my socks and shoes (I always wear pants in the parks so the bags aren't visible). I carry a small umbrella for use in the sun or rain. I do find that ponchos can be...

    OKW Lovers Thread. Part 2

    Very exciting! We stayed in a OKW GV in October for the first time with 6 adults and 3 kids (7,7,4) and had a great time! DD and her husband stayed on the pull-out sofa in the living room the first night but then they moved to a studio nearby. You have a housefull! So fun!

    AP vouchers

    Well, these were DVC Gold AP vouchers with the expiration date of 2030 or later but they weren't actually tickets. I was told that the price I paid would be put toward converting to current APs or I could get a refund, if I had waited until after 12/31/23. There's no way I wanted to pay for the...

    AP vouchers

    We activated DVC Gold AP vouchers (bought in 2018) in October because we were told that, after 12/31/23, we would have to pay the difference if we wanted to convert them to Sorcerers (or other) current AP. I was not happy as I was hoping to save them for use in a few years. I wonder if I was...

    Activating DVC Annual Pass

    I'm still curious if anyone tries to use DVC AP vouchers that were bought for the Gold AP and not a current one, such as the Sorcerers. I was the one who was told they needed to be activated prior to 12/31/23 or $ would have to be added to make them current, or a refund could be issued. DH and...

    How often do you visit with kids?

    We bought in 1999 when we had 4 kids ages 5, 7, 9, and 11. We did take them out of school to go to Disney a few times (in elementary, middle and high school), though we mostly went during school breaks because my kids didn't really like missing school. We always told teachers in case there was...

    Boardwalk Ticketing?

    We used BW ticketing. Had a little scare because the confirmation didn't come as quickly as we expected and there didn't seem to be a way to contact them. But we did get the tickets in the email and had no issue loading them onto our MDE.

    Complicated old ticket question

    Like Sandi said, the vouchers still have the value of what was paid but they will no longer be converted for free after 2023 - is what I was told by numerous CMs. Disney will refund your original payment if you don't want to pay the difference to convert them into an AP that is currently...

    Complicated old ticket question

    Yes, they gave me Photopass. Also, they were able to see the 2030 expiration date as well, to reply to Lehuaann. Also, I was able to reserve park days on MDE because of the voucher in my account and probably could have continued to do that even if I had not activated the vouchers yet, as...

    Complicated old ticket question

    Maybe someone with a DVC Gold Pass voucher will report back at a later time with success at no charge...I'm afraid to see that since we already activated ours. But I am curious. Sorry to have hyjacked this thread with this issue.

    Complicated old ticket question

    I agree! But they look at it as the voucher doesn't expire until 2030 but the voucher can not be used as the DVC Gold so it has to be upgraded to what is currently available. I don't understand why it won't be a free upgrade after 2023 or that they didn't send notifications to those who...

    Complicated old ticket question

    You may be right and that would make me so upset - more than I already am. However, when we went to the Epcot Guest Relations to have them activated, the CM there confirmed the information as she did the tedious conversion from the DVC Gold Pass (no longer an option) to Sorcerers Pass for both...

    Complicated old ticket question

    Mine also had/have that date - they were Gold DVC annual passes bought in 2018 and in my MDE. You may want to call DVC. I think you are in the same boat as me - they are still valid but will need to be upgraded for $ to whatever current AP you want to upgrade them to. Unless you activate them...

    Complicated old ticket question

    I called DVC several different times and got the same answer. I was upset because I was saving the vouchers for when DH and I retire in a few years. But, if I hadn't used them by the end of this year, they would have needed to be updated with more money to be used, apparently - they were...

    Complicated old ticket question

    I tend to agree with the previous poster and just use the old tickets as is. You probably got a great price on them and trading them in isn't going to get you the value of what they are worth. I bought DH and myself AP Gold passes before covid and had them sitting in my account as unused...
