Oh hey, so with I was thinking today with Big Thunder finally
opening after seemingly it's been gone for like 5 years.
Is there any attraction that if you found out that you read
online, like maybe Paul published A blog and said hey
this attraction is going to be going under a refurb for
probably the next year, 2 years that you personally would be
super super bummed about? I was just curious.
I, I, I'll just say real quick that my, my thought first went
to I wouldn't be super bummed about and it was figment.
So that's. What I think you'd be doing
cartwheels on the street. Where my head went?
OK, I like a year to two years is a is a big refurbishment.
You know what would like, I know everybody wants the Yeti fixed,
but I think that if that ever happens, that Everest will be
it. It just, it would have to be
almost demolished. Like I don't even know how to
explain it. And that, you know, when you
take a park that doesn't have a ton of attractions, Everest is
one of the best ones there. So I would I would be sad about
that. I think at Animal Kingdom.
You were just you were just up upshined by Sony's first DVC
show experience. Like gosh, this is our foster
dog Sony. He just he is available for
adoption. He is now famous.
In 33 states. Head to greyhoundsinmotion.com.
Jeff, did he answer to Derek's question?
Sorry, we're all over. The world.
I can live it if Guardians closed for a year.
Oh, there's nothing else. Yeah, yeah, that would be a big
one. Or organize.
For a less popular answer, less obvious answer.
Haunted Mansion is still my favorite attraction of Magic
Kingdom. I write it every single time we
go, and that would be devastating.
See my, my spaceship Earth, like it's just one of those things
that spaceship Earth you have to do when you're at Epcot, whether
you do it when you first go in or whether when you do it on
your way out. I just feel, and it was supposed
to be down for that, you know, extensive refurb and it didn't.
So I think knowing that when that sucker goes down, it's
going to be gone for a long time, I think because it's
getting pretty old in there. But I will miss that ride
terribly. I have so many great memories in
that ride. Jeff and I are in the same boat.
Sometimes when Derek starts talking, we don't know if he's
being serious or not, I felt. My sister on Monday and that
whole thing at the end where you have to choose your own
adventure. Like your head doesn't even fit
on the thing right anymore. Like it needs to close for SO.
True or have to ride where it's pitch black.
Or if you pick your language by mistake and you put German and
then you're stuck with like a German Judi Dench the whole
entire ride. We've done that.
We've had that. The best part was during the
pandemic where you had to wear a face mask.
And so like, your face was not part of your future because it's
just like your face was just like the open, like space.
It was so creepy. They're giving you a sign you
have no future. Everybody and welcome to this
week's episode of The DVC Show. I am your host, Paul Krieger,
joined as always by my lovely wife, Amy Krieger.
Hello, senior sales executive. I had the senior sometimes and
sometimes I don't. I think it's just sales
executive for the DVC resale market, Derek de Boer.
Hey now, happy Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
everybody. And the Honorable Jeff.
Hey, everybody, Derek's gets worse and worse every time.
It's like he used to be Happy Monday, and that's because
that's when the shows go out. Now he thinks that, I don't
know. I think we all agreed
collectively to call him Resell Derek.
I thought that. Was resell Derek it?
Is it? Is resell Derek it?
Was a vote made? Is is is it senior resell Derek
or just? Resell, Derek.
I will just preface this show with everyone by saying that I
feel like we've hit like slap happy hour here because we're
all in a mood and then the dogs are just everywhere right now
and so. It's gonna be someone commented.
I don't remember when it was. It was not one of our videos.
And like they're like, I can see the decline.
I can tell when you're on your third show and you guys are all
just a little goofy like and everyone needs reined in.
But like, even the dogs, like even.
The dogs are tired of us being here.
Like, yeah, they're just infiltrating.
They weren't here for the first two shows.
They're just. Just go for a walk already.
Right, they're just completely going crazy and I shouldn't.
Have said the W word because now it's just going to get worse
not. Your.
Your SO January, February. Part trip of May, June, July,
August, September, October, November, December.
Is going on. This week's show Would You
Rather? Disney Vacation Club Edition.
I think it's been a while since we've done any Would You Rather?
And big shout out to Kevin Cunningham, who actually wrote
in some ideas for this week's show.
I'm sorry, Kevin, I'm laughing because my dog is now gone under
the table. So anything could happen.
This whole show could go black at any point in time.
At this at this point, I think he's going to lay down here for
the remainder of the night. It's really too bad that you
know we're doing a Would you rather if we had these paddles,
ones that. Wasn't that?
Like love it or hate it it. Is love it or leave it it?
Is you have to assign. I didn't want to make new
paddles. That's your task, Jeff, for the
next for the next round of shows.
You now get to make a new love it or leave it.
Or you could just tape like an A or B on the panels and we'll
assign. I know where our paddles are.
I'm pretty sure they're they're upstairs in my closet.
Does Derek know where his is? 100% and he just found on the
the other day and she came to me and like question what is this?
Well, yeah, big shout out to Kevin who actually sent out some
some ideas for this week's show. I shared some of the would you
rather's with this team. I also asked you guys to come up
with your own that you could maybe share with us.
So hopefully one of you did your homework.
Amy has a blank look on her face, so I'm not sure that that
happened. I.
Did not but. The greatest thing that Kevin
did was include one specifically for each of us.
It was a specific would you rather for certain people.
So I'll be peppering those in throughout the night and I did
not share what those were. And now you all look rather
nervous. Hey, if you enjoy this rambling
and who knows what this next hour turns into, it's brought to
you by key holder vacations in the world of DVCDVC resale
market where you can buy or sell a Disney Vacation Club contract.
Monera Financial, who will assist in financing that DVC
resale contract. Purchase the DVC rental store.
Try before you buy. Save some money on your Disney
vacation, or if you've got some extra points, rent those out for
cash and unlock Magic, where you can get discounted Walt Disney
World, Disneyland or Universal Park tickets.
Head to unlockedmagic.com/DVC Ban I'm.
Sorry, this dog is it's. Hilarious that we have a
sponsor. I know.
I don't know how, but we do people.
Did you? See that I know.
Sony's really saying please adopt.
Me. He's been so scared, so the fact
that he's in here putting his little head up is just so funny
because he's starting to come out of his shell a little bit.
From a technology standpoint, I'm petrified for the next hour
as to whether or not all of this goes down.
But I'm going to kick off the night with our first question
and that is going to be, would you rather only be able to stay
at DVC resorts that expire after 2057, so a lot of newer resorts
and stuff like that, or only be able to stay at DVC resorts that
expire in 2057 or earlier, so a smaller.
Clover Patreon. I'd almost say like 2042 might
be a good better baseline for us, but 2057 adds a couple more
into the equation there. But would you rather stay at
2057 and beyond or the older resorts?
OK, ask them. I got to see a list because I
know, you know, I know like Boardwalk people love.
OK, I'm going to say I'm going to take 2057 or earlier.
Animal Kingdom fall into the 2057, right, because it expires
in 2057. So I'm going to take those.
So I'm going to give up my Boardwalk and Beach Club and
Vero and Hilton Head because I want to be at, I want to be able
to stay at Animal Kingdom, Poly, Grand Floridian, Fort Wilderness
Cabins, Alwani and so forth. Copper Creek, there's a there's
a lot on that side. There's definitely a lot more on
that side and I guess like we're making up the rules tonight.
Does the language. Saying like forever, like
anything additional beyond. Forever, forever.
Then I would, yeah, I guess I would probably agree with you if
that's the case because we just don't know what the next.
Maybe not. Forever.
But now you're just changing the rules.
Jeff, what's your answer to the question?
I don't. Even know what the question was
because I thought when does animal Kingdom expire?
2057. So I thought you said 2057 and
before, no? Would you rather only be able to
stay at DVC? Resorts that expire after 2057?
Expire after 2057. Animal.
Kingdom or only be able to stay. In like the next month expire.
In 2057 or earlier, so I guess to your point, Jeff Haslam 2057
and earlier would include Animal Kingdom.
OK, I'm still going to go with my answer because Grand Florian,
Polly, everything at Disneyland Aulani.
Die giraffes die I guess. Like.
I just you have to decisions have to be made.
These are not easy. We obviously can't make a
decision as to how this how this this question is even phrased.
So Derek, give us an answer. I think I know what it might be.
Yeah, Amy's answer was interesting and how wrong it was
because you want to go 2057 or earlier, that's it.
So if I'm looking at it from my perspective, because I'm 53, so
I don't know if we're saying that will this end then in 2042.
So are we done or are we saying basically that these resorts
will live infinitely only? So that that's my question,
which will not change my answer. So whether these expire in 2042,
I don't care. I'm not giving up Boardwalk, I'm
not giving up Beach Club, I'm not giving up Boulder, I'm not
giving up Bureau, and I'm not giving up Hilton Head or Okey
Wet. So no, I will stake the 2040
twos or before 2057. Honestly, even if you asked that
question, Derek, I was just going to say yes.
And I'm not quite sure what that that was going to equate to.
And and Jeff is fully just giving up on this show and and
is currently playing Mario Kart. I'm pretty sure.
Jeff, if there was a question being asked, I'm not quite sure
what it would be. Do would you have an answer to
it at this point? I don't know.
I really like Old Key West, so I'm going to pick that one.
I'm going to pick the first part.
And that one falls into that Gray area that Amy Amy had.
And Amy's just taking pictures of dogs right now.
Patreon content. This show my content at this
time at this case because I'm going to move on to question 2,
which I feel hopefully is more self-explanatory.
Would you rather only be able to dine at quick service
restaurants or only be able to dine at a table service
restaurant? Oh, that one's easy.
Go for it, Jeff. Table service all the way.
Why? Yeah, I just, I think I spent,
if we're talking Disneyland, that might be a different story,
but the vast majority of quick service at Disney World is the
same thing. There are some exceptions, but
I'm I'm much happier sitting inside in the air conditioning,
not having to fight people for a table to get chicken fingers and
fries. Like I'm much happier with pasta
and steak and chicken fried or grilled salmon bread service.
Yeah. And alcohol, I don't know that,
see, that's actually really tough because like, yeah, I get
the food aspect. The first one wasn't tough.
Yeah, I get the food aspect, but at the same time, if you don't,
especially like if if you're someone that doesn't, you get to
go to the parks a lot. Your time is valuable and, and
table service equals time taken out of your day.
It's sometimes like an hour or more.
So if your only choice for lunch is table service, you got to sit
through this whole meal, and then if you're hungry later you
got to do it again. Then you lost all the time in
the park exploring and writing things and.
So what would your answer be? I I would say quick service OK,
just because that's I value my time.
I value my food quality more and so I will go with table service.
I don't care how long it takes. I feel like food is half the
adventure truly when it comes to.
Theme parks. See, I'm not, I could be really
happy with the sandwich at Sunshine Seasons and the tacos
at ABC Commissary. And so like, I can find things
that make me happy in the quick service world.
Derek, you're shaking your head over there and I don't know why,
but. Well I'm trying to figure out do
the table service restaurants expire in 2042?
20. 57 Here's the bigger question.
If I'm not paying for it, if I'm not paying for it and someone's
going to pay for my meals, why on earth would you pick a quick
service? That's insanity.
Then just go to a table service restaurant, get an appetizer,
leave after 20 minutes, and then go to another table service and
eat something else. If you're not paying for it,
table service will always have better quality.
Who said it was free? Where did that?
Find its way into the into the definition.
That's the other thing, it's more expensive, so I'd go broke
eating lunch and dinner and breakfast at table service.
Wow. I Yeah.
Wow. Well, Derek, I you know, you
answered this so well. Jeff, did you answer yet?
Yeah, you did. You answered first.
You said table service. Derek, you you're so sold on
this answer and it's free that I'm going to give you the first
personal question of the night, which is Derek, would you rather
be restricted to staying only at Bay Lake Tower for the rest of
your life, or have the ability to stay at any DVC resort you
want, but you can never order beer during your entire stay?
Oh my God. Oh.
I was just going. To say that's a rough 1 so but I
could bring my own beer. Around.
All these questions, you gotta find the.
Loophole all the loopholes that you gotta find a.
Loophole because no, you know what, I'd probably go with the
because I, I would just go out to find beer, you know, so I
would not stay at Bay Lake Tower.
I would choose different DVC resorts and I would go out and
enjoy beverages at various other Disney vacation.
Clubs, You can never order beer during your stay, that's what
that. But doesn't say he can't order
cocktails. The old.
Fashioned. I will just agree with your
answer, Derek, because you're yeah, yeah, you're the one that
does dry January, every January, and we're awfully impressed by
that. Is this just one trip or is this
every trip for the rest of my life?
This. Is the rest of your life.
I don't know, I really thought this was going to be a fun show,
but now it's just making me want to cry.
I love it. I like it.
I like it because every question we just show we find like these
loopholes and we go all the we. We don't do anything.
You find the loopholes. We're just sitting here trying
to play by the rules. You even derailed me to the
point that you announced your age on this show and I felt the
need to find this image online because lovely Jeff Haslam spent
a lot of time the other day personally sketching this I'm
pretty sure, and it just. It made Derek look like Father
Time to a certain degree. Let alone I'm not even going to
comment on myself. Yeah, you, you look like you're.
4. It looks like you all stole me
and kidnapped me. Be honest with you, I don't
usually laugh at my own jokes but I was laughing so hard and
Guardians of the Galaxy line when I was making this and I was
going to try and fix it and I'm like you know what I'm going to
send this to Derek 1st and get his pre approval and then he's
like oh you got to share it. And I just love it so much.
It needs to be on T-shirts magnets.
I love it. Yeah, it's it's fantastic.
Boy and for all. The people out there that hate
me for making something with AI, can I just say we're just having
fun? This is not serious.
We're not. We're not really selling them.
To use their likeness, I have that in a contract somewhere,
I'm pretty sure. Yeah.
OK. Moving on to our next question
of the night, which will get construed many different ways.
Would you rather receive 200 free DVC points right now usable
at any current resort or receive 50 DVC points for every new DVC
resort built for the rest of your life?
And before you guys even answer, I'm going to answer and say I
will take the 50 for every resort built for the rest of my
life, hedging on the fact that despite Derek's complaints, we
will see a new DVC resort at least every five years in
perpetuity moving forward. And I want those 50 points at
those newer properties for multiple reasons, to be able to
use them at the newer properties and just expand my.
So this is you can get 200 free points right now or 50 every
time. But like if a new resort opens
up, you just get a one time use of 50, right?
That's what it sounds like. You're gonna.
Take it as as you get a contract.
But then. Right now, today.
Pick 200 now points over 50 point contract forever and ever
and ever. What if you're 85 years old?
I don't think that's what Kevin meant.
His name is Kevin, right? I'm. 53.
Kevin, I'm so sorry. I really tried to keep us going
here. Even so, regardless if it's a
contract or a one time. Not only are we losing
subscribers, but Kevin himself was like, you know what, I'm
out. It's.
Like. OK, listen it, it doesn't
matter. The 50 points is better even if
it's a one time for every time a new resort opens because then
you can use it. Use it for opening.
Use it to get into that resort there a couple of nights.
Do you agree? I I would take 50 new points
every time. Yeah, for.
Sure. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna agree
and say table service. Moving on to our next personal
question of the night. Amy, I feel like you answered
this a couple minutes ago with the table service or quick
service question, but would you rather pay full price for on
property dining forever or receive 50% off all Disney food
for life but you can never order a sandwich again?
Oh, that's easy. I'm I'm cheap.
I'm going to take the 50% off I can Still, there's still things
I like. Tacos aren't sandwiches, right?
Taco sandwiches? I had this.
Epic discussion as part of a team call the other day as to
whether a hot dog was a sandwich and then someone said it was a
Taco and I have reconsidered every life decision ever since,
they said. That I can go other places off
property and find sandwiches. Besides that, every time there's
a good one Disney takes it away. So I am taking my 50% discount
and I will find other things to eat A.
Hot dog is definitely a Taco now that I've reconsidered it.
It is not. I'm I'm kind of blue screening
about that right now, like I vapor locked that's going to
live free in my head for a little bit.
Everything you've ever considered like I always thought
it was a sandwich, but now I'm kind of like.
And if that's the case, are we sleeping on making a hot dog
Taco and selling it out of a food truck with Derek's face on
the side? Would that be table service or
quick? Garry's face on the side of the
food truck, or the hot dog bun. Or the Taco bun, not the.
Bun, we don't wanna make it inedible.
Also this face or Yep, that's the face, That's the face.
Okay, yeah. We're gonna turn the cruise ship
into a food truck and get ready for it.
It's coming. By the end of the night, we're
going to have that image in hand and I'm going to be able to
overlay it right now. I, I guarantee this is this is
happening. Ladies and gentlemen, for audio
listeners out there, this week is the week to just turn on,
turn on the TV to around the 2222 ish minute mark and, and,
and check out that he's making it as we speak.
It's, it's absolutely, absolutely beautiful.
Moving on to our next group question that we have, Would you
rather always book your DVC vacations at 11 months exactly
or only be able to book at seven months every time?
So 11 months are exactly. So you always have to be
planning 11 months into the future or always planning last
minute and taking, taking what you can get.
Derek, you looked like you had a pretty immediate response.
Seven months, easy. Seven months always, because
there's so many great ones to be able to pick and choose from.
So even if I don't get exactly maybe what I want, I'm going to
find something. So I I just don't plan 11 months
out anymore, especially because I live here.
So seven months to me, that'd be a no brainer.
I just agree with that from the mindset of it makes it more fun.
There's the people out there that that desperately hate DVC
resort like Derek does at Bay Lake Tower.
But you understand what I mean. The people out there that like
really specifically hate a resort.
There is no bad DVC resort. There's never been a resort
where I've been like, get me checked out of this place as
soon as possible. Boulder Ridge pre refurbishment.
It was just it just goes just a little.
You were still at Disney World, so you felt safe even though you
were in the movie The Shining. You felt safe because there was
Disney music playing in the. Background The Shining.
So, yeah, and it's, and yeah, it's, it's one of the best
refurbs that we've seen in recent, recent memory.
I agree with Eric, seven months, which I I feel like if you
pulled like the audience, most people would say 11 in my head.
If you have to book at 11 months every time, you have to know a
whole year in advance, are you? Stuck with your home?
Resort, are you only stuck with your home resort?
I want the variety. I like to be a little more
spontaneous. So we're going to take, I'm
going to take seven months. Yeah, Jeff.
Yeah same. I have never, not one time ever
used my 11 month booking window like.
Like never used it right at 11 months.
Nope. I'm always kind of a fly by
night. Last minute, yeah.
We've only done that a handful of times and it's been when
we've planned like bigger vacations.
So like with our moms? Yes.
Or run Disney, Yeah. Or a bigger record.
Sacrifice that for more option. Next group question of the
night, Would you rather own 1500 point contract at your favorite
resort or five 100 point contracts across 5 different
resorts? Wait, sorry, one more time.
I sort of blue screened for a minute.
Find me again. You're still thinking about the
hot dog as a Taco. Just get us A.
Little bit Jeff, you can either own one.
This is not your specific question by the way, so don't
get excited. 1500 point contract at your favorite resort.
So 1500.0 Key West contract we'll say or five 100 point
contracts across 5 different resorts.
What's your answer? I'm I'm definitely going the
five 100 point contracts, easier to sell if you need to, easier
to borrow and bank and move around.
And there's just a lot of 500 points as a big contract.
The biggest I had at one time was 250 and I hated it.
So yeah, I'm going to take the five one hundreds.
Yep. And if you've got, if you've got
all the same use here, you know, you've got the ability to use
all those points, you know, in that zero to seven month window.
So you still have kind of the benefit of having the 1500 point
contract does limit you a little bit.
If you're looking to book something bigger further out,
you need to have to stick with those specific resorts, but you
could also have some fun and resort hop a little bit.
You know that there's that's a that's a fun way to do it,
Derek. At first I was initially going
to say I'll take the bigger one, but then I thought again, it
kind of goes to the dining thing, like who's who's paying
for it? Am I paying for it?
If I'm paying for it, then I buy the five 100 point contracts
like you guys just said, easy because then down the road you
don't need 500. I only want 400.
I only want 300. I only want 200.
You could sell it verse can we sell at the DVC resale market a
500 point? Of course we sell 508 hundred
thousand point contracts all the time, but it kind of goes back
to I'm only going to like to the last question.
I'm only going to book seven months out, right.
So for me, who cares because it's seven months.
Points are points. But if I did for whatever
reason, say one of those contracts was 100 point Beach
Club. Oh, I know that.
Hey, every year, every other year, I can snag something
during the food and wine Festival or during the flower
and garden Festival and I could get a couple of nights that way.
So yeah, go the five 100 point contracts with table service,
yes. I'm going to come up for air for
a second and because we desperately need to and just
kind of say, did any of you come up with a, would you rather to
pepper into our thoughts for tonight?
That was that was Jeff trying to speak, ladies and gentlemen, but
we're not quite sure what happened.
Chat DPT let me down in the best way.
Oh. My God.
Anyway, I do have a question. I mean, yeah, would you rather,
But it's not near as intense as this one.
But I'm going to say, would you rather only be able to watch
Fantasmic again, or only ever watch Happily Ever After?
Fantasmic and the reason that I chose Fantasmic, I have a love
hate relationship with Happily Ever After.
I think it's an amazing show. I love it.
I hate trying to watch it. It's always really congested and
crowded, and there are tall people and shoulder kids in
front of me and people holding up their phones.
So I'm watching it through someone else's screen.
And whereas Fantasmic especially, you know, at
Hollywood studios, you've got the Amphitheatre and you've got
a seat and it's easier to see, and yeah, I get a beer.
Yeah. Yeah, get a beer.
Not you, not anymore. Good stuff for your question
answers. No beers for you?
No beers for you. This is where you and I always
disagree though, because I always say I, I would, I would
follow up by asking is, are we talking Fantasmic at Disney
World or Disneyland? Because I would say we'll stay
at World then I yeah, I would want to watch happily ever after
for just because of the memories that I have with that show.
And you know where I was kind of in my Disney evolution when it
came out, It's it'll just be a very memorable show I think for
me forever. But I would have said, I would
have said Fantasmic if it was Disneyland, just because I think
that's a superior version of Fantastic.
Again, I have the same problem. It's such a pain to watch.
OK, Amy, let me. Let me rephrase.
Let me rephrase the question then.
VIP seating for either one. You don't have to fight the
crowd. You just get to go.
You're the only one there. Sure, sure.
Or if the dessert party would either work.
I'm still going to take Fantastic.
I I know I would love some VIP seating for Happily Ever after,
but I just there's OK. I just remember the first time I
ever saw Fantastic and sitting there and and I we were like
front row center and not front row, but like dead center, you
know, really good seats and just watching Mickey disappear, you
know, under the lift and it just looked like poof, poof, he was
gone. And I was just like, whoa, like
that was so cool. So I just I stopped the pic.
Fantastic. Derek.
So I'm going with Fantasmic. However, if it was the proper
better show called Wishes, which is a infinitely better than
happily ever after, I would pick Wishes at the Magic Kingdom with
VIP seating. But because it's happily ever
after, I'm going to go with Fantasmic.
Fantasmic for me too, although I really like Happily Ever After,
but Fantasmic's my favorite show.
Let us know down in the comments of this show whether or not you
chose that a Taco is a or no. Is a hot dog a Taco?
I don't even know what to say anymore.
I just have to put this on camera.
This is what Jeff just sent me. Like, I don't know why there's
so many of us, but also I don't know, Amy, why you kind of
modulated your look between the three.
Right, I went from like me to St. me.
I love that we all have microphones too.
We we're all holding a hot dog and a microphone.
I do like the name of the truck though Taco Dogs as I feel like
there's a good truck name. The first one had all of us and
we almost looked identical to the cruise ship photo except for
reasons passing understanding. There was 2 Pauls and I told it
there's one too many people please take out the duplicate.
And then they just made infinite universes.
It's like a multiverse of DVC fan happening inside the Taco
Dog truck. Well, all right.
I just want you to know. For you to ChatGPT, we're just
having fun. We're just having fun.
We look like a traveling. We look like a traveling boy
band group mixed with like AK Pop.
Group just like that if this show doesn't happen next week
folks just be on the lookout on your you know driving down your
street Taco dogs all. Right, so so you know,
merriam-webster.com Taco. They make up words every year.
Now florals is tacos, in case you didn't know, a crispy or
soft corn or wheat tortilla that is folded or rolled and stuffed
with a mixture as of seasoned meat, cheese, lettuce.
Although that's like an American Taco.
Real tacos. What's the definition of a Tia?
We could go down this for a while.
No. We're not going to answer that.
We're going to keep keep it on topic, which has been zero topic
tonight. So I'm going to ask our next
question of the night, which is would you rather never be able
to stay in a deluxe studio again or only stay in deluxe studios
for the rest of your DVC life? OK, so I got a lot of questions.
So of course you do, because so are you telling me that I could
just choose to stay in one bedrooms then?
Or two bedrooms, or grand villas?
Never be able to stay in a deluxe studio again or only stay
in the studios for the rest of your life.
Yeah, so like. I'm going to choose never stay
in the studio. That seems pretty easy.
But with the cost associated with it.
Oh, see who's paying for this crap?
You. Are all of these questions is is
you? You are.
You are, yeah. OK, so I'm going to have to at
that point because I don't have that fake 500.100 point contract
thing. So I'm going to have to, with my
170 points, I'm going to have to say studios because I could only
then go away for a lot less nights then then I could stretch
out my borrowed 170 points. So I'm going to go with studios.
If there was only a company that could sell you some more points,
solve this problem for you. Resalederek.com.
Derek at dvcresalemarket.com. Actually despise staying at
studios and if I ever want to bring, you know, my kids or my
grandkids, the studio's not going to cut it anyway.
So yeah, I'm going to. I'm going to go no studios and
buy more points. Only studios for the rest of
your life or never a studio again.
You got to pay for it. Then I'll just, I'll just stick
with studios so that I can afford more more.
Staves more, yeah. Right.
Yeah. Good call, Amy, Good call.
Good answer. Good answer.
Hey, Jeff, I got a good question for you.
Okie, Dokie. Would you rather?
Well, this is good because you've been buying some park
tickets recently. Would you rather pay full price
for Disney? Oh wait, no, wait that.
I'm sorry, that's the wrong question.
Would you rather pay full price for Disney park tickets forever,
or receive free park tickets for life but you can never see
Phantasmic again? That's a good one.
Oh man, that I just vapor
locked. Was like that.
I thought we froze. I.
Have to rewind and see him paused.
More for the hot dog Taco question, or for that one.
First of all, I'm going to need Kevin's address because I'm
going to send him something in the mail that he's not going to
like. There's, oh man, there's too
much, there's too much other things to do.
As much as I like Fantasmic, to be able to go for free for the
rest of my life, that would be really hard and I would grieve.
But I think I would take the tickets.
Just, you just see him outside, like like right outside of
Hollywood studios, right where they let people in and just
every night, just. Going to go away eventually
anyway. Just just dancing.
He could just hear the subtle, the subtle music in the
background look. He looks so sad just thinking
about it, like. I would be.
Sad that's mine and my son's favorite show so.
Now you're making me sad. Sorry, moving on to our next
question, would you rather lose the ability to bank and borrow
points forever or oh God, lose the ability to rent your DVC
points? I thought this was this was
pretty interesting. Oh, I'll.
Go ahead, Derek. I I will.
I I don't call Derek. You're you're paying, just so
you know. Right.
I don't rent my points. It's great that you can
obviously do that. We have a wonderful company that
can help you do that. I borrow points.
So I need to be able to borrow points or I'd be very, very sad
and I'd probably get fired from this job and my family would be
homeless. So I need to be able to borrow
points so I can do away with renting points.
Sorry, Paul. It's OK.
Was he getting fired because he was sad?
Or I don't know. But in the process his answer,
he fired me like technically. So like, I mean it was, it was
pretty full circle there. It was great.
And I don't, I don't really have a great answer to this question
other than I will just say that we, we've lived through this to
a degree because we have seen the ability to borrow points go
away. So yeah, that, that half away.
So and they do have the ability to, to, to change how that
banking and borrowing system does work, which we saw during
the pandemic times. So, but it, I think it when it,
when it comes to value to the program, I don't, I don't think
that I, I think the ability to bank and borrow is what brings
more value to DVC as a whole. When you look at it, you know,
the ability to say, not only are you buying 100 points, but you,
you could technically bank those points forward.
And if you're planning a trip every other year, you have the
ability to then have 200 points or even 300 points at your
disposal. So I, I think that they, when
you look at the product, that's what brings more value to the
table. I don't think they'll ever get
rid of either, but good hypothetical.
Yeah, I agree. I think, I think the banking and
the borrowing just adds so much more flexibility to your
planning tools. And I'm in a perpetual banking.
In a. Borrowing situation.
Yeah, cool. I don't have much else to say.
I wouldn't want to lose points and not be able to bank, you
know what I mean? Because sometimes you just can't
use them. I'm going.
To need a new job apparently. That sounded like our first
actual full-fledged answer to one of these questions from
beginning to SO. We can't.
We can't have that someone someone throw us off the rails
in some capacity. Good work if you lose your job,
Paul, there's always a hot dog truck.
It is for real, not. Very scary.
Not to be confused. Although if we create that hot
dog truck, we've created human cloning, and we're all
pagilionaires at that point anyhow.
So we really have touched all corners of the universe on this
show tonight, I'm pretty sure. So not in a good way at all.
No, yeah. This is one of the shows where
we actually see the unsubscribers.
YouTube shows you that. We're all going.
To be like, why is hashtag hot dog truck trending worldwide?
I'm not. Worldwide.
Taco Bus. Well, there are tons of people
posting about it. Taco Bus is a real thing that's
in Lakeland. No, it's Taco Bell went out of
business. Did it go out of?
Business, yeah, it's. Gone.
You didn't eat enough guacamole there, apparently.
I. Know, let's see, I will just
since I've I've tortured you all with the personal questions.
I, I will, I will add in here that Kevin did not leave me
empty handed with the with the questions tonight.
I can. This was Amy's.
Amy's reading it and laughing as we speak.
And this you? Tell this story on a show one
time. I don't know.
You had to. That either that or or Kevin is
is the person that commented it so.
Many years ago, no, you had to have told.
It I must have. Told Would you rather pay full
price for Disney themed shirts forever or receive a free Disney
theme? Receive free Disney theme shirts
for life. But every shirt has a size tag
sewn on the outside outside that says Chimedia.
You have to, like, brush on the story really quickly.
All I will say is before before we ever did this for a living,
one of the first times that I ever really appeared on a DVC
fan and and in in any context, I was wearing a animal Kingdom.
I don't have this shirt anymore. No, he threw it away after the
comments. UV trolls.
I I had a shirt that that was an Animal Kingdom Lodge polo shirt.
And I have a bigger upper body. Yeah, I don't, I don't miss
bench pressing and push push ups and stuff like that.
So my arms were kind of bulging out of the shirt.
And it was like the first comment that I ever read of me
being on on the Internet in any capacity.
And all it was was one word, and it just said schmedium.
He was, so he has never forgotten about it.
You don't, and you got rid of the troll.
Forget your first troll, you just don't.
It, it is. It sticks with you forever.
You really, really don't. Yeah, Jeff, Jeff's like, Nope,
still thinking about it, but I did.
A great show in and of its own. I, I sent a message back to
Kevin though, and I said I will definitely I'll, I'll take the
free shirts for life. Thank you and I'll have.
That on the outside. Yes, because I told him I said I
will make a rival brand to Roosevelt's and I'll call it
Schmedium and I will sell a jillion shirts.
I am, I am pretty sure of it. So Schmedium shirt company
coming to you? Sold out of the back of a Taco
hot dog truck at first though. This episode is just bad.
Maybe we're. All going to be working out of a
Taco truck because we all got to get fired we.
We say that, but this is like the, the, the audience loves
these shows the most because I feel like you get to know us the
most. Like you actually get to see who
we really are as people. We're our.
Honest selves terrified about this cruise.
Yeah, we're our honest selves. You get to see who we really
are. You get to see us laugh, have
some fun and. OK, well on that note, what was
your troll comment that you remember Jeff?
It wasn't so much a troll comment is I got a comment once
it might have been a messenger or the person I didn't know but
it was right after I started doing the shows with y'all and I
can't believe I'm saying this out loud.
Her comment was I'm assuming it was a her said Your eyes make me
want to leave my husband. That's not a troll.
That's not. A troll comment.
I I took it as that. I love how Paul's like someone
called me Shredium and Jeff's like someone's in love with my
eyes. It was so traumatic.
That reminds me of mine, where someone wrote and said Annie's
the luckiest lady I've ever seen my whole entire life.
You are just an absolute gem. No matter what Jeff and Amy and
Paul say about you. You're incredible.
So yeah, I'm gonna take me nuts. God.
What I always feel for when we do shows like this is the person
that just tuned in to us the for the first time and they're
expecting to learn about Disney Vacation Club.
And I don't know that we've shared valuable information the
entire night, but please go back through the repertoire of the
300 plus odd shows where we have done a lot of positive.
But hey, it's good to have a have a fun show every now and
then. We have we have the best
audience who always says, Oh my God, my friend told me to
listen. And I learned so much about DVC.
Yeah, I'm probably going to get a call when this show airs and
be like, I tried tuning in, but what's a hot dog Taco?
But what is that exactly? I'm not sure if I sent these
over, but they were some lightning round kind of
questions that I wanted to just try to get us to answer pretty
quickly near the end. Would you rather lose access to
the sky liner forever or never ride the monorail again?
Oh sky liner. Adios.
Yeah, Sky liner. I don't know, I find the
monorail kind of crowded and smelly and I can walk to most of
those places. So I'm gonna, I'm gonna never
ride the monorail again. OK, OK.
That's what I meant when I said sky liner before Derek said
adios so I'm not sure what. Oh, you guys were getting rid of
the sky liner, OK. Yeah, no, I'm keeping the sky
liner. That's what I'm keeping.
Derek's getting rid of the sky liner.
Derek is alone on the island. The rest of us are saying get
rid of the monorail unless you make it new and fix it.
Or put an air freshener in at least.
Yeah. Yeah, Oh, sometimes it drifts.
Like the zoo? You could do those smell things
in brides and other places throughout the parks.
Why can't you just put those on the monorail?
What smell would you want the monorail to smell like?
How to? Choose Fiji from.
Yes, Fiji's good. Derek, did you say Taco Bell?
That's. What?
It smells like today, I'm pretty sure.
Vero Beach. It needs to smell like the lobby
at Vero Beach. All right, this one another
another tough one. Would you only stay at Saratoga
Springs or Old Key West? Old Key West mic drop.
Saratoga, Saratoga. 2 Saratogas. You're all wrong.
I, I, I will, I will say Oaky W, I'm, I'm with Jeff and actually
I will just say Oaky W is like having a day right now and
there's a lot of people booking Oaky W especially at DVC rental
store really. So yeah, it is.
It is doing. Good.
You know why? It's because we did our
Summerfest there and everyone just wants to be there.
I'm just kidding. I don't think, I don't think the
rental store guest. Car.
I did get a e-mail just just today as asking if we were doing
a Summerfest or an Oktoberfest this year.
Unfortunately, to those of you now asking that question of
yourselves, the answer is no. We are doing this amazing group
cruise. This this summer, there are.
There may be a few or several. Rooms 3 or 4 rooms available for
that. All right, you got.
Several ones of rooms. I pick on you all enough, so
it's it's only right that you all pick on me too.
Always visit Disney World in August or during Christmas.
Oh, August. So I I think that the mindset
here was either always visit when it's 120° or 100% humidity,
or when the crowds are worse but the temperature's a little more
tolerable. I'll take the heat.
Yeah. You can always go and hang out
at your pool. No, you got to stay in the you
got to stay in Magic Kingdom from open to closed, Derek.
No, that's not. That's not what That's not what
Kevin said. Kevin.
Kevin, when he thought of this show, I don't think Kevin said
any of this. I should guarantee you that.
Hang on, go ahead. I have a legitimate question.
Why wouldn't it be in the parks? Because if yeah, if you're
staying at the resort in August, like just stay inside where it's
cool. I.
Feel. Like it has to be a parks.
Answer. That's what you think he said.
Bad word. He did.
He didn't say. Bad word, I said.
HE double hockey sticks. That's a bad.
Word it is in a YouTube world maybe I think got to change to
like a PG13 rating I know. If someone, if someone chooses
to complain about that after making it through this whole
entire show. That's true.
Come. Out.
Yeah. Are you censoring yourself,
Jeff? I don't know.
I'm probably going to take Christmas because I like
Christmas and I think you have to be in the parks.
I think you guys can't just create your own rules anymore.
Did anyone else have any other? Would you rather's?
I have one for for Paul that I thought of that that's where
your personal question was going to go.
But then I happened to think of a twisted one of my own for you.
That if you if you have Toothless and Wally on the side
of a Cliff and you have to push one.
Over. Well, that's no I'm going to
play by the same rules we've played the entire evening, which
is that I'm pushing Toothless because he has wings and he can
fly, Derek. Can't Wally also fly?
Yeah, no. Without a fire.
Extinguisher. Yeah, it depends.
Does he have his fire extinguisher and is he in zero
gravity or does he have a rocket ship attached to him?
But are too deep. I couldn't fly until the 5th
movie even. There he was.
I will say that before I answered with Toothless I, I did
consider pushing wall-e with the mindset of if we are kind of in
the setting of the movie, there's plenty of spare wall-e
parts laying around. Apparently that can just put
them back, put Humpty Dumpty back together again so we'd fix
them right up. No probs.
Good. All right, I have one.
Would you rather be stuck for 10 hours in a row?
Doing this show. Right riding Small World or
riding Tower of Terror? Ten straight hours.
Oh, small world, I. Think I do small world I.
Think I would too I. Don't think I don't know that I
can. Hours of.
Up and down. I can at least boob on my phone
on Small world. After the what if you didn't
have a phone? No technology.
I just, I would still take small world.
I can't go up and down that many times.
You could fall asleep eventually on small.
Yeah, that's true. You could sleep.
Yeah, you'd have some crazy dreams, I'm pretty sure, but.
You could try to things every time.
How about this? Would you rather?
You could poke your eardrums out and not have to hear the rest of
it. You have options.
And you're worried about saying the word hell?
I got a good one. Would you rather only be able to
eat? Not forever.
Just like on your next trip, one week trip, all of your meals
either have to be at Cosmic Rays or Marie and Enzo's.
Oh. Cosmic rays, Yeah, cosmic rays
100%. Easy, yeah.
Cosmic rays. Yeah, I mean, I can always get
chicken fingers and fries or hamburger and French.
Salad they have the chicken. Sandwich.
They have burger. Yeah, one of when I was a kid,
one of my first times here, I was actually here with my my dad
and stepmom at the time, and she turned me on to it was at Cosmic
Rays that we had it. It was a cheeseburger.
I'd never had like a cheeseburger and like dipped it
in BBQ sauce, but like so. I'd never.
It was life changing apparently as.
A kid, I'd just never done it. I was always like the ketchup,
mustard, Mayo guy. But it was the first time that
like, I was really introduced to like, BBQ sauce and a hamburger.
Wait a minute. What do you like Amish?
Yes, I was about an hour from Amish country.
Derek there. You.
Go. I have a very personal one for
Paul and Amy. This one is going to be.
This is going to be like my fantasmic question.
Made me kill you guys, just made me kill like two favorite.
Would you rather never be able to visit Disney World again or
never be able to go on a Royal Caribbean cruise again?
I'm going to, I'm going to say Never Royal Caribbean because
I'm just, I'm going to learn. I'm going to love probably
Celebrity and Virgin, and I'll go on other cruise lines.
All right, Disney World's too much a part of our life.
Disney's too much of a part of our life.
So I mean, that's that's where the answer lies.
We love rogue. I just.
Did that because you just finally got diamond status it.
Was hard and we did just get diamond status.
We can status match, that's fine I.
Should have had more rules, Dang it.
Your your question should have been like, yeah, only cruise on.
Or never be able to cruise. Again, never be able.
To now I would probably pick cruising.
Yeah, I don't know because then it's then it is, it is like the
question between like what we now find enjoyment and
relaxation in like that's our full vacation.
Like we could fully vacation there now and step away from
things. So I think that's what changes
it a little bit just given our position and like what we do for
a living, but. Yeah, that was a good one.
That was a good one. Well folks, if you followed
along this long, First off, kudos for you to listen this far
into this show because this has been a wild roller coaster.
But I will say these are some of the funnest shows I think for us
to film. We have a good time just
chatting through things. Hopefully you get to know a
little bit about us in the process.
Let us know your quit your answers to all of these random
questions or if you have a good would you rather that maybe we
can feature in an upcoming show if we ever do this show ever
again period after tonight. But we could do we could do some
more. Would you rathers and we got
Jeff coming up with a love it or or hate it so that we can use
the paddles again in the near future.
So but yeah, let us know the answers.
We're all going to go to Maria and Enzo's or cosmic Rays and
eat some food apparently, and have a good rest of our night.
My meal is not much above that because Little Caesars just got
delivered. So that's far above Maria and
Enzo's, I'm pretty sure. Far above far.
And more affordable. All right, that's going to do it
for this week's episode of the DVC Show.
Thanks for watching everybody and this thing.
We'll see you next Monday. Bye.
Everybody have a great week. Oh, I forgot to record that
whole show, that is.
