Annual Dues/Mousekeeping
They are no longer considered tipped employees - but many of us tip.
Beach Club Villas Owners Thread
I have never put in a request when staying at BCV. You might want close to or not close to elevators/top floor. Not many great views. Just never bothered but have been lucky once or twice with a decent view.

There has never been more than one to three items on the table in the laundry room. I don't think there is much one can leave on the floor for someone else to use. I once did give a 2 lb box of cookies (from a bakery) to housekeeping to share in their break room (if they have one/was a suggestion/they can do with it wh
Annual Dues/Mousekeeping
I always leave a tip for T&T, cleaning day and check out day.
If you had a Disney wish, what would you have them bring back?
Magical Express and TIW
Do you still use a magic band?
Yes, I wear my magic band. Very convenient. I do not own an Apple Watch. I have been using the same band for many trips and will continue to do so until it's dead.
DVC Travel Insurance
We did use DVC travel insurance years ago. Now we only purchase it outside of DVC only when cruising or leaving the country. For people who travels multiple times a year (DVC/non DVC), you can purchase a yearly policy for all your trips. I have not done this but read there is one. When we went to Italy on our own, I pu
What's the benefit to owning multiple home resorts?
I own at two resorts and was not a problem when the kids were young and were in the same villa with us. If we needed extra points at one resort stay, I would borrow.

What's Your Bucket List Disney/DVC Stay?
I never had a desire to go to Hawaii - lately starting to think a trip to Aulani might be a good idea in the near future.
What's Your Use Year?
April here. When we bought, we went during the summer months/end of August mostly since the kids were still in school. April made sense at the time - I think - not sure if that is UY they were selling or it was recommended for our travel needs. We did not understand it 100% - at least not as much as a few years later o
Membership Magic Beyond — Yay or Nay?
I purchased last year and this year. Renewing my AP is definitely worth it to me. Last year also bought points (12/12). The lounge priority is a nice perk and used it twice this year and will do so again end of year.

Yes, guests leave their unopened leftovers in the laundry room. We have picked up and dropped off some items.
