To celebrate Father's Day, Randy Wylie, an owner at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort joins the show and shares the story of his father purchasing DVC as a multi-generational gift. Randy is one of the administrators of the Facebook group "Saratoga Springs for DVC Members" and was featured on Episodes 62 and 63, as part of our Saratoga Springs Review Series!

Willie Herrera grew up in Miami and making regular family trips to Walt Disney World. After getting out of college he decided to invest in DVC so that he could help continue the family tradition of going to Disney with his immediate family and have a means of affording Disney vacations for years to come whenever he starts a family of his own. In the episode we hear about family, buying his two favorite resorts which are the Polynesian and Copper Creek. He also discusses the joy of buying into his mother's favorite Disney resort to ensure that his family can always come to Copper Creek for their annual Thanksgiving trip. We discuss family traditions, DVC resorts, and a heavy emphasis on spending quality time with your family.

Dan Cockerell, former VP of Magic Kingdom, joins the show to discuss his career at Disney, answer My DVC Points Community member questions, and discuss his new book, "How's the Culture in Your Kingdom?"

Nick Cotton joins the show to return to the parks, unique opportunities we have to enjoy the parks during COVID, deals on discounted DVC points, and an update on the DVC rental and resale markets.

Chad, Christy, Alicia, and Vicky discuss their experiences deeding and titling their DVC contracts and estate planning as DVC members. The fundamental question of estate planning is what happens to my stuff when I pass on? DVC markets this product in a fashion that you can leave this deeded estate product to your heirs. However, to do that, you should probably learn a few terms before hiring your estate planning professional in your state.

Andy Berry is back to provide a monthly recap for June 2020. For the third month in a row, DVC Resale Market had zero contracts bought back through Disney's Right of First Refusal (ROFR). Andy commented that DVC is taking longer than usual to waive their rights. Chad thought it was incredibly ironic that DVC is taking up to 50 days to say we're not buying it back and we haven't bought anything back in the last 90 days.

Mandi Malinosky grew up Disney and is now raising a Disney family. Owner at Disney's Saratoga Springs since 2014, Mandy typically spends about 40 nights a year at Walt Disney World. She loves spending quality time with her family, creating Disney inspired dresses and ears, and coordinating the entire family's Disneybounding outfits. Many of the hidden gems Mandy discusses at Walt Disney World involve live performances and parades.

Jeremy Mobley joins us for a conversation about his DVC story. Jeremy's passion for Disney didn't hit until later in life. Jeremy thinks that he's one of the few people who bought DVC based on a conversation with an advanced sales associate in the park kiosks on one of his first few trips to Disney. They ended up buying a small contract at the Polynesian resort and have added on twice. Throughout the interview, you'll see Jeremy has the heart to spend time with family members and share the magic of Disney with others. While Jeremy comes across as a mild-mannered Southern gentleman, he consistently ranks as one of our top players at Mouse Quiz trivia nights.

On today's show, Chad talks with Grant and Julie Peters, owners at Aulani and Copper Creek Villas & Cabins. Grant and Julie share their journey to becoming DVC members, a bit of addonitis, and how DVC fits their family of five.
