This is not a loophole. You can do this at any resort in the world. Some resorts will charge for it some will only do a few days at a time. This subject on social media is a big Firestarter. It is all because people don't think. They don't think of ways to make their lives easier or think of ways to make the booking process work for them. They also don't think about booking FIRST at their home resort at 11-Months, then trying to change to a non-home resort and walking the booking at 7-Months.

can you modify on the same day, or do you have to wait until the start date window of the new one occurs

Looking to propose to my girlfriend at a Maui resort would this one be good?!

When we were in Aulani last month, the food was incredible. We did Makahiki character breakfast, dinner, ate at ama ama without the kids, ate at the oleo room, and off the hook. It was expensive but never had a bad meal!

It’s unethical, because it’s not using as intended. But like you said, you aren’t much concerned about that.

This was very helpful. Thank you.

I been on a few ride breakdowns (Indiana Jones, Jungle Cruise and Storybook). One of my Disneyland goals: Spacemountain breakdown.

very helpful review thanks

Appreciate this video and information! Sad to hear but not really surprised. Disappointing because I think Disneyland Hotel and its legacy deserved so much more in terms of quality! Your video was super helpful for us to set appropriate expectations when we spend our points here. ❤

Decades ago, my dad took me to Disneyland, and we got stuck in Space Mountain also. Lights on and mechanics came out to release each car from it's block brake spot, one at a time. And we were near the beginning of the ride, watching each other car go through. In the dark, you have no idea how close those supports are. It was a lot scarier with the lights on.

we were there in January 2023 and we thought the food was awesome! We're going back next January and can't wait

P r o m o S M 😘

Wow!!! Anybody else hear the Axles and wheels screeching, grinding, and squealing after the breaks released and they go around a few curves. That's not a good sign. Sounds like they need to grease a few things up or replace somthing. After hearing that I don't think I would wanna go around again. Though that loud music playing covers the grinding and screeching of the wheels and axles quite nicely, doesn't it?

The best tip should be to rent a car and explore the island. It will be cheaper than the excursions through the resort.

I wonder if they’ll bring back the galactic ghost for space mountain. I never got to experience that layover.

I remember before they added music!

Lights on my ass

So one big thing to take into account and forgive me if I missed this in your video but since you chose this as example it feels applicable. If you buy resale at the Villas at Disneyland Hotel, you are locked out of the other 16 resorts and can only use your points there. Not only that, but the villas at Disneyland Hotel also has a transient tax that is applied at checkout whenever a DVC member stays at the Disneyland Hotel. In 2024, this transient tax is an additional 2.78. Since you can ONLY use your points at Disneyland Hotel , you essentially are adding that 2.78 per point onto your dues. So realistically, your dues are now 9.53+2.78= 12.31 per point. 24450 + 12.31*150*50= 116,775. 116775/50= 2335 per week. You quoted the buy in for direct to be 11400 more than resale which I noticed you did not take into account incentives at the 150 point mark for direct which to be fair is only 5 dollars off per point so 750 dollars saved making the difference 10650. This does also not take into account the fact that Disney gives you double points your first year when you buy direct. You are able to sell these points back for 20 dollars per point. 20*150= 3,000. 116775 (amount we calculated for resale)+10650 (additional cost to buy direct)-3000 (reimbursement for selling 150 points)= 124,425. 124425/50= 2488 per week IF you use all of your points at the Disneyland Hotel which you are not required to since this is a direct purchase. This number will be less if you use your points at other resorts because you won’t be forced to pay the transient taxes. Personally, I’m willing to pay the extra 8 grand to have my points unrestricted for the next 50 years. Also, since you can stay at places other than VDH with direct points, you will not always have to pay the transient occupancy tax that you do when staying at Disneyland Hotel. If the only place you want to stay at is the Disneyland Hotel then have at it, resale is the way to go. But if you ever want to use the points at Disney World or Aulani, buy direct when purchasing the Villas at Disneyland Hotel. This also doesn’t take into account the fact that dues will continue to rise every year between 1-6%. So the numbers I posted above are the MINIMUM it will cost you which really makes that 8 grand really seem even less important in the grand scheme of things although it is a lot more money to pay upfront, consider how much that flexibility is worth to you. I apologize for the long comment and in depth analysis. I like math and I also like DVC as we have over 600 points.

This was click bait

The person that dropped the F bomb in front of all those kids should be ashamed of themselves!

Hate to say that this isn't really *exclusive* as there are many videos of Space Mountain with the lights on, broke down, etc. But I digress, regardless, it's a very cool experience! I've experienced it first hand, and a video can't really convey the feeling and sights as you do in person. Everything looks SO tight and you feel like you're going smack your head against the support beams inside! It's almost scarier with the lights on!

Original ride and music was the best.

While you were in the station The train in front of you on the left stopped and passengers had to be helped off That's a known space mountain red flag that there is a bigger problem What they should have done Shut the ride down and fix it The ride at both parks In the US needs an overhaul and they don't want to spend the money

I dont think this is really controversial. It really just separates the guests who really put more thought & effort into securing the dates they want. Non DVC guests do this modification technique all the time with regular reservations and there is nothing wrong with the practice. Sometimes you have to pateniently stalk out the dates you want...they do fill up fast! Thanks for the great video.

Kudos. Thank you.

That's cool, they let you go again.

great introduction video!

Super helpful tips! We hope to go to Aulani in the next few years. We've been trying to wait until our kids are a bit older and can travel the long distance a bit better. Super disappointing that the food isn't good though...

was this on december 30?

Yes the music change is sad. It was incredible. The music to change is the small world music lol.

I miss this place! Stayed here for a week on our honeymoon in 2019

AWESOME!!!

I remember riding this as a little kid with my dad. He would take me, my brother and sister as kids like every summer. I thought it was the coolest ride lol. I went a few years ago with my son and ex wife. It was super lame I was very disappointed. The whole park is lame . It's so out dated . It's ok for ten year olds. We were all miserable, it was extremely hot . We ended up leaving early. RIP to my sister Nicole Hendershot and my dad Tom Hendershot who both died last year. I miss you guys, you were taken too soon. ♥️

Interesting to see behind the curtin, but in terms of space mountain, the old music was much much better

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Very cool 😅

MY NEIGHBOR I’ve stayed at the Kea LANI about 15 times I’ve gone to the fourth seasons for shopping and mini memorable dinners. Great resort.

How many Hyatt points a night?

Starting in 1996 I’ve stayed at this property about 15 times. It’s like a second home and over the years I’ve made friends of the staff and they are remarkable people the aloha spirit.

I really liked staying at Cabana Bay. Great tips.

That comes with a hefty pricetag.. For my family living over here in Norway when we go to Orlando we stay for 14 days.. But staying in a hotell like this is WAY to exppencive.. So we rent a house wich is nr 1 cheaper, nr2 we can cook (i love to cook) nr 3 the freedom... So as a father of 5 plus boy/girlfrieends this is what we do... BUT the room is pretty thats for sure
