For both the member with rooms booking and the open registration, Members are encouraged to sign-in ahead of the 11 AM Eastern opening. Logging into the link requires your member number and is only one valid for one browser. At 11 AM, all members signed in are given a random spot in the queue, regardless of the timing of log-in. Spots are assigned until the event is full. Reports say that most members who were signed on before 11 AM were able to get the event they selected.Source: Disney Vacation Club websiteDVC members receive 20% discount on VIP tours for a limited time Disney Vacation Club is offering members a 20% discount on VIP Tours for April 28th through September 27th with the exemption of holiday dates. VIP Tours can include up to 10 people and typically range from $450 – 900 per hour. Inside sources say that the advent of the Premier Lightning Lane pass has created considerably less demand for the VIP tours, as park-goers can get front of the line access to all of the rides without paying for the VIP tours. For smaller groups there is a significant savings doing this.

Although the Murphy-style bed has replaced the existing sofa beds as expected and new appliances have been installed, much of the flooring, walls, and cabinetry look the same or have been only refaced. The bathrooms as well seem to be unchanged from previous configurations, and while the room decor is a little lighter, it still maintains the mostly dark tones of the rest of the resort. In addition, the exterior of the DVC wing and the Fountain Pool, one of the three pools at the resort, are also being refurbishedSource:
