My DD just informed me that we need to hurry up and go on the cruise, because she is tired of dreaming about it, then waking up and it not being time.

I second that!

Replacement for Jim Lewis to be announced in 'near future,' a Disney spokeswoman says

August 13, 2011|By Jason Garcia, Orlando Sentinel

The president of Walt Disney Co.'s time-share business was fired Friday, according to several people familiar with the move.

A spokeswoman for Disney confirmed late Friday night that Disney Vacation Club President Jim Lewis was no longer with the company. She declined to discuss further details.

"We wish Jim Lewis well in his future endeavors and we plan to announce his successor in the near future," spokeswoman Rena Langley said.
Lewis had been president of Disney's time-share business since 2006.

The abrupt move comes only about two weeks before Disney opens one of its most ambitious time-share projects: Aulani, a Hawaiian resort with 460 Vacation Club units and 359 standard hotel rooms. It is the first major resort Disney has built away from its theme park properties.

It also comes one month after a management shakeup within Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. The changes included inserting the head of Disney's cruise business, Disney Cruise Line President Karl Holz, between Lewis and Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs.

Only a few years ago, Disney Vacation Club was one of the fastest growing units within Disney's $11 billion parks and resorts business. But time-share sales slumped during the global recession and credit crunch.
Disney Vacation Club operates 11 facilities around the United States and has more than 400,000 members. The business is headquartered in Celebration.

Whoa I Wonder, Dream, and have a Fantasy if Disney is trying to bring the Magic back in the DVC division...

Food from San Francisco is delish!!! But I don't know if it'll make it back east... I guess I'll have to use your kitchen to make some home cooking... I'll clean up too, I promise
