A friend was running through some scenarios using the DIS DVC Calculator, and came across an error.

DIS DVC Points Calculator (http://www.wdwinfo.com/resort/dvcpoint.cfm)

If you enter Saturday, Feb. 22 for a VWL Studio, it comes back with 14 points. I'm assuming it should be 32 points like it is for Friday, Feb. 21st.

Is posting this here good enough, or do I need to email someone else?

Thanks!

Yep, you're right. It's giving the Sun-Thurs rate instead of the weekend rate.

You might send a PM to WebmasterDoc just in case he doesn't see this. He'll know who to notify.

Thanks, WebmasterJohn. Just tried it out for 11/21/2004 - 11/26/2004 for the GV and it returned the correct points (216).

Thanks, again.:D

Thanks, but I'm still seeing the points error for Saturday stays starting on 2/22/03 in a Studio at VWL. I think a point chart must need some tweaking...

Is anyone else seeing this error?

The <a href="http://www.wdwinfo.com/DVC/DVCpoints.shtml">Point Chart</a> is correct and I have passed on your observation about the calculator.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I just meant that the point chart used by the calculator needs tweaking. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi Tragrel

Thanks for letting us know. Just an FYI - the point calculator uses a database backend. I will look into this as soon as I can and let you know when it is corrected.

Thanks
John
