    Updated did September UY also get a Misleading email from member services

    My wife and I also got the email. And I double checked something I already knew...I didn't have any points to bank. I wouldn't say it was poorly worded...it was flat out wrong. I think it was a mistake, someone meant to send Banking Reminder Version 1 and instead sent Banking Reminder 2.

    Husband is melting down about fp+ (orwellian mandated faatpasses)

    I've also been in meltdown mode this week. We're now at AKL for nine days and the new FP+ has been a punch in the stomach. It completely changes how I experience the parks. And before I explain further, a little context... Long time DVC holder, come once or twice a year to WDW, average 7-10...

    For all my "Pending" peeps!

    Just as a follow-up to my daughter's story, after waiting ten weeks from her initial interview, she was notified this week she was accepted! She will be working in a full-service restaurant. We won't know which one until she gets there. So for those waiting a long time after they got a...

    MS Astounded!

    Last comment from me because I'll end up repeating myself and I hate doing that. You say that it is a poor way for me to do this. Then what you saying is the proper way must be this; when my wife submits her vacation request, which is taken in order of seniority, I should NOT know if the week...

    MS Astounded!

    You are missing the point, I check availability to see if my choices are closed out. If they are, then I know I am not going to schedule my vacation then. If I call back, after I have my vacation scheduled, and they are gone, so be it. Getting vacations scheduled is not easy for some...

    MS Astounded!

    Help me with this. Is there an issue that has been expressed by DVC that there is a burden of calls that only checks availability and is therefore clogging the phone lines? Or is this conjucture and heresay? I honestly do not know and I am surprised that this is a problem. I'm not going to...

    MS Astounded!

    This baffles me. I can not see how calling to check availability without intent to book constitutes "abuse," as Diane called it. There is a lot of assumption, apparently, that booking vacations and WDW trips is a linear process. Depending of what field you work in and how vacations are...

    For all my "Pending" peeps!

    She did not audition. The pending letter came about two weeks after the phone interview. It was about Feburary 18th or so. Someone else just posted that they have been waiting eight weeks, so I guess I feel a little better. The longest I had seen on the boards prior to that was about six...

    For all my "Pending" peeps!

    I had to jump in here with my daughter's pending situation. I have not heard of one going on as long as ours. My daughter's phone interview was Feb 4th. That was 10 weeks ago.:eek: She called Disney yesterday because I was sure that a decision was made and we just didn't know what the...

    SSRMonkey Returns in 18 days

    Too funny. We are leaving in a week for OKW and I was just thinking it should be time for the next SSRMonkey report. And here you are! We were there in June too and although we missed you then, I hope to run into you somewhere in the World! If I remember correctly, try to stay away for the...

    How to file a complaint

    The Brown Derby is not a walk-up counter service restaurant and she probably didn't want to pretend that it is. Man, if I complained everytime someone gave me a dirty look and said no when I thought they should say yes, I would spend a lot of time talking to managers.

    Hhi?

    I just found a thread at DVC news where it seems the bulk of the storm is passing north of them and Chef Gordon said this afternoon it was not too bad there. That is good news for HHI.

    Hhi?

    I have been wondering the same thing. I'm surprised there are not posts about what is going on there. The HHI beach and Beach House have to be taking a pounding. Are there threads elsewhere I have missed?

    Speechless . . .

    I think that was me the WilsonFlyer was responding to. What I said did come out harsher than I meant. Sorry about that WilsonFlyer. I do still disagree that enforcement is the issue because it is human nature to 'bend the rules'. People make decisions and they are responsible for the...

    Speechless . . .

    Wow, you think people selling expired fast passes is capitalism? You must have slept through that part of business class. Pet Rocks, yes, that is capitalism. "Investment of capital to produce goods for profit" and all that. So this is Disney's fault? As a business owner, you believe...
