    RESALE POLICY CHANGE!

    This change reminded me of a post I made back on May 5, 2012: Disney may continue to further restrict the availability of these special programs and discounts in order to further differentiate buying direct from buying on the resale market. DVC Purchase – What exactly are you getting? I'm...

    Who'll stand with me...outside the DVC 'member' lounge?

    I agree that Disney is within their rights. However, I find comments across all the boards saying there was no miscommunication or that it doesn't matter if there was or not to be a bit ridiculous. When I call Member Administration and am told something, as far as I am concerned, it is an...

    RESALE POLICY CHANGE!

    I find comments across all the boards saying there was no miscommunication or that it doesn't matter if there was or not to be a bit ridiculous. When I call Member Administration and am told something, as far as I am concerned, it is an official communication from an authorized representative...

    Ken's letter stated: Please know that as a current Disney Vacation Club Member (regardless of when or where you bought your membership), your access to Disney Differences and these additional Membership Extras will not be affected by this policy change. DVC Mike - *******.com

    RESALE POLICY CHANGE!

    DVC's missteps on handling the communication properly makes them the bad guys. I don't hold any of the brokers responsible for communicating to their buyers what Disney told them. DVC Mike - *******.com

    RESALE POLICY CHANGE!

    What a screw up by DVC. Member Administration did initially communicate that it was based on whether your contract was received for ROFR, and now today they are communicating a different message. Bad, bad, bad. DVC Mike - *******.com

    RESALE POLICY CHANGE!

    Another broker: Disney contacted us by phone at 5:09 pm EST on 4/5/2106 informing us that the most recent resale changes will affect any contract that is not recorded by 4/4/2016. This is different from yesterday’s message from Disney, which was “DVC has determined that all resale contracts...

    RESALE POLICY CHANGE!

    Three brokers are saying it just had to be submitted for ROFR by 4/4, while one is claiming DVC Member Admin initially communicated incorrect info and you needed to close prior to 4/4. DVC Mike - *******.com

    RESALE POLICY CHANGE!

    Yes, I got it too. One DVC Resale Broker just sent an email saying: "I just received a phone call from the Disney Vacation Club. Apparently the email that I received was incorrect. I was just told that all closings past the 4th are affected. Any closings that take place after 4/4/16 will not...

    RESALE POLICY CHANGE!

    As usual, a change like this will fire up the boards for a few days, but longer term I don't think DVC sales will be harmed by this change. True, DVC will lose the goodwill of some existing members who think this is yet another of the changes that are making DVC more like a typical timeshare and...

    RESALE POLICY CHANGE!

    As I stated in my Do DVC Members deserve better perks post, perks offered by DVD are a marketing tactic to entice people to buy into DVC. From a marketing perspective, DVD needs to provide some differentiation between buying direct and buying resale. There has to be some justification for the...

    RESALE POLICY CHANGE!

    I should have said the discount provided by the TiW card. New resale buyers won't be able to buy TiW as a DVC member. DVC Mike - *******.com

    RESALE POLICY CHANGE!

    I think the loss of theme park ticket (AP) discounts, the discount on the Tables in Wonderland card, and the dining and shopping discounts are the biggest loss to resale purchasers. DVC Mike - *******.com

    Yes, new resales buyers won't get the AP discounts. DVC Mike - *******.com

    RESALE POLICY CHANGE!

    I'd like to remind everyone that these are incidental benefits to a DVC membership and are not part of your DVC membership. DVD uses these incidental benefits to market their product, so it makes sense for them to remove these incidental benefits from those who aren't buying their product, but...
