I see a lot of people are reading this post. Please forward a short email to members@disneyvacationclub.com to have this policy changed!
Katya said:That may, or may not, be true. If it is, they probably should come out and say so. And if it is the case, however, should DVC members be allowed to have a say in the matter? It is possible that a member might prefer "adequately" (admittedly, a very subjective term!) heated pools over a mystery increase/decrease in dues.
With energy costs skyrocketing, Disney may be worried about the 15% cap on maintenance fees. In our area, Baltimore Gas & Electric is planning to raise prices 70%. Deregulation is supposed to allow competition to lower electric prices but thats not going to happen.
The funny thing is, BGE had record profits under the old rules. Under deregulation, the electric companies are going to follow the oil companys lead and fleece the consumer for every penny they can.

AMcaptured said:Disney is lowering the temperature of all their pools, not just DVC ones. However, DVC members specifically pay for amenities with their dues. Please don't give Disney a pass on this one.
Personally, if I couldn't swim when we go to Florida in January I would probably sell our points and go elsewhere. I'm going to relax and enjoy the sun and facilities.
I have said for a long time that Disney does not like that DVC members go back year after year after year. We tend to notice everything. Honestly, do you really think they want that??? Of course not! They want a guest who comes in for 5 or 6 days, wonders around aimlessly under the Disney Magic spell and doesn't complain about anything that isn't right. One time guests who are there for a few days don't know to complain about stains on the carpet, long bus waits, cold pools or thermostats in the room that make it impossible to sleep at night, etc. DVC members do however notice these things and we are vocal about it.
It is no wonder management hates us. We actually notice when they are trying to pull one over on us. I can just imagine the conversations they will be having today when they get a bunch of emails on this subject.
I wrote my email. We pay dues, we have a right to speak up on the matter.
