Top of the World Lounge

Just a thought...when we went last December , the CM at the desk actually had a clicker counting noses going up before we were escorted to the elevator,could they have been near capacity and decided to only allow DVC members staying on Points? It's hard for younger people to enforce what their "Suoervisor" told them to do. I personally would've asked to speak to her boss.

When I was there last month, we were told you needed to be staying at a Disney DVC property on points or cash in order to go up. Standard Disney resorts did not apply.

So, if you are a DVC member like I was who just so happened to be at Beach Club but not the DVC portion on cash, I wasn't allowed up.

Now last year, simply being a dvc member and showing my ID got me up with no problem (I was staying on property - but not at a DVC resort).

I honestly don't know why they don't allow all DVC members who are staying at a Disney Resort to use it as a perk of membership. If they want to block out busy times of the year, fine - but it's rarely super crowded up there and the times they ARE at capacity, they could enforce the DVC Resort Only rule.

Just seems stupid to me.

We are DVC and will be staying at Kidani, on points. I do agree with you, I think DVC members should be welcome with some "blackout dates".

Thanks for all the feedback, I think I will try to talk my DH into the side trip! 59 days

I agree it does depend on the CM but it shouldn't! I was there for D23 the weekend before Thanksgiving staying at the Contemporary (not BLT) and I was able to go up without a problem.

They called me tonight regarding my email. The rule is any DVC member staying on property at any resort whether cash or points is permitted to use the lounge. I asked her if possibly it was filling up and they were letting only those on points, she said no. They are contacting the BLT manager to make sure everyone is on the same page and to make sure the treatment Christine received does not happen again. Christine, if you have the name of the CM let me know and I will pass it on. She went on to say if any member is turned away (other than capacity) get the name of the CM and ask to speak to a manager immediately.

Thanks VWLMom for the clarification of the policy.

We went there last year, I went to the desk - showed them my wristband (or maybe my DVC card, not sure) - they let us right up. I may have told them we were staying at the BWV - but I was never asked if I was on points or cash.

I, too, would have asked for a manager if I received a reply like Christine had.......
