DVC - Free stuff???

[sixshot19]

With all the talk of free dining this and free dining that! What do we get?

We have the portable perks thing (is it still around?). We paid the big bucks and the only perk I get is my annual dues statement in the mail. (well I am a DVC member, big perk as far as I'm concerned)

Let's make a grand list of what us DVC members get! What have you got for free or at a discount? I don't really ever ask about a DVC discount usually two busy with my twins (did you get the pun there).

Post em here, I need some help with it, cheers.

Free ice cream! When we closed our 3 contracts we went to get ice cream after signing our paperwork and said on the last time, "We need to keep buying DVC so we can get an ice cream!" and our guide said "nah, come any time!"
Whenever we stay at SSR or are there for dinner at the Turf Club, we get an ice cream! It may not be much, but it makes us smile!

I hear ya!! I joke with my wife all the time about this. The AP discount is great and the only one of our perks that I actually use.I heard they used to give AP's away with a membership for quite some time. My biggest thing that I'm constantly saying is let us use our membership card as a fastpass. It wouldn't cost disney a thing and would make the member extremely happy. I go down twice a year and It's no cheap trip. I pay my dues which are a little bit ridiculous if you ask me. I buy my dining plan, buy my kids $100s of dollars of **** merchandise, pay for their xmas and halloween parties, go on fireworks cruises etc. just give me this one thing and I would never find another thing to complain about again I promise

The only thing that irritates me is them charging us 95 dollers to make reservation. Seriously aren't the dues and montly payment enough!!!

I couldn't agree more.

Question about the $95?

When I have booked into any WDW Resorts, I have never paid a fee. If you are speaking to an exchange fee, those fees are standard.

Whenever you trade out of your property where you own and use RCI, Interval International, etc. there is an exchange fee; higher if you are trading international.
