My DVC Points

Alicia and her husband were “bitten by the Disney bug” after bringing their two children to Walt Disney World for the first time in 2009. In 2016, they became DVC members at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows, and recently they’ve added a new home resort - Disney’s Riviera Resort! For their family, the Deluxe Studios that sleep five, proximity to Hollywood Studios, and 50-year contract length were the best aspects for Disney Vacation Club’s newest resort.

Micah Wyss is the creator of MousePerks.com, a website that pulls together the discounts for Tables in Wonderland, DVC Members, Annual Passholders, and Disney Visa cardholders! As a value-minded person, he has become quite the savvy DVC member himself, maximizing his membership through split stays and leveraging DVC Membership Extras.

This episode leads our Disney's Riviera Resort review mini-series. The Riviera Resort is one of the most controversial resorts in Disney history due to the new resale restrictions implemented with this resort. Long-time DVC members and fans of resale are concerned that the resale restrictions will significantly impact the market value of Riviera contracts. Consequently, a lot of members see Riviera as a very poor value proposition. In today's episode, we meet Micah Wyss, the founder of MousePerks.com, which is arguably the most value-driven content created by a Disney fan. Micah explains his rationale behind purchasing Riviera. We will hear from more Riviera owners in the series and end with a Riviera review episode.

We're wrapping up Season 2 of the My DVC Points podcast with what is quite possibly the best episode of the season. Matt and Lori Sassali share their Disney stories with us. We cover adoption, financial stress created by international adoptions, making sacrifices for family and prioritizing DVC as a vacation assurance.

We pick up where we left off in the the Saratoga Springs Review show. Episode 063 covers transportation, room refurbishment, recommendations, and we address the commonly held believe that "Saratoga Springs is the Resort of Last Resort."

The first half of our Saratoga Springs Resort review show. In this episode, DVC Members, Chad, Mary Anne, Samantha and Randy discuss our love of the SSR resort. We cover resort areas and room requests, resort amenities, swimming pools, restaurants and bars at the resort, and the resort theming.

Previously Brian joined us on episode 038 to discuss the history of the Polynesian resort. We discuss the history of both Disney Springs and the grounds known as Saratoga Springs Resort.

Mike Daughtery, one of the My DVC Points Community members, was invited to the Disney Riviera Resort tonight as part of the cast preview. This was opening night for previews and they are literally the first people to get to sleep in their room.

Mike spent the day blowing up our Facebook group with all kinds of photos and posts about the new resort. Tonight he sent me a note to apologize. Apologize? What? This is EXACTLY the stuff our community wants to see! We're dying to see the new Riviera resort! A few more messages and Mike said he'd give us a quick walking tour and we decided to do a quick live show to show off the new property!

Make no mistake about it! Disney's Riviera Resort is Amazing!

While most Disney related media channels are covering the grand opening of the Rise, we're all about the DVC Points! Show me DRR!!!
