 What does the unprecedented new normal even mean? This week Terry and Dave join you from what they wish was their little booth in the corner of the Top of The World Lounge, but in all reality they are still in their homes, but there is light at the end of this tunnel!  They go over what DVC plans to do with points that were set to expire during this closure.  And as always, they end by going over your listener questions.

May 2, 2020
What do you do when your stay at a DVC resort isn't exactly on par with normal Disney stays?  Should you take care of it then or when you get back home from your trip?  This week we tackle that question with a real life scenario that Terry encountered at a recent stay and of course we field some DVC questions from you, the listener.
