2015 Condo Association Meeting

[tjkraz]

Remember the meeting that Claire Bilby held, entertainment, Dapper Dan singers, a promise of transparency. Not long after she was replaced and was moved to Paris France. I guess Disney didn't like her having parities.

Actually it was more than a year after the meeting you reference that Claire Bilby accepted a new position with TWDC. The meeting you reference was December 2011 and she held the DVC role until February 2013.

Additionally, according to numerous sources, her tenure as head of DVC was always intended (and promised) to be temporary.

Interesting dog and pony show. Last year they took away the Q&A session so those in attendance aren't allowed to speak. Worth attending at least once.

Bill

The member Q&A was (mostly) eliminated starting with the 2012 meeting.

DVC and resort executives do make themselves available for questions after the formal meeting.

In the past it was more of an event with entertainment and fanfare, now it's mostly business.

Bill

Not sure what that conclusion is based upon. The 2014 meeting featured extensive coverage of the Polynesian villas, a number of video presentations, some made exclusively for the meeting. Character meet-and-greets were available afterward along with free Dole Whips.

The amount of "entertainment and fanfare" seemed about on par with prior years meetings, IMO.

Sorry, I guess my timing was a little off. If her assignment was temporary, she don't tell most of her people because they were really upset when she left.

Good to know, thanks for the correction.
