60 Day Rule Exception

[KAT4DISNEY]

Huh? From the news section of the member website.......

"New 60-Day Rule Exceptions
As you may know, a longtime Disney Vacation Club policy has placed restrictions around booking and traveling during the last 60 days of your Use Year.

Under the policy, exemptions were made for Disney Vacation Club Resorts and World Passport Collection accommodations.

Now, we have modified the 60-Day Rule to allow Members to book and travel to Disneyland® Resort hotels during the last 60 days of your Use Year. At Disneyland® Resort hotels, you may make reservations anywhere from 11 months to two days prior to arrival. All accommodations are subject to availability."

When did 4 months become 60 days? Is this that new math stuff?!!??! Or am I missing something and just having a moment?

Now I see this looks like it was news from 05/06 although it's still on the website. I'd say it shouldn't be there still but was it 2 months instead of 4 months at one time?

The rule is for Disneyland Resorts in California & World Passport. And our 2011-2012 had an exception indicated in it.

I copy/pasted from news also:

New Booking and Banking Guidelines for Members: The Rule of Four
In an effort to simplify Membership, new guidelines combine the three current banking windows into one, so that Members are now required to bank any unused Vacation Points and book Member Getaways exchanges at least four months prior to the end of the Use Year.

This rule does not apply to Disneyland® Resort hotels in California and World Passport Collection vacations, which have separate guidelines. Members can still travel at any time to these locations, based on availability; the rule applies only to the booking date. If you have any questions, please e-mail or call Member Services.

I just hadn't realized the rule of 4 used to be the rule of 2.

I know that many people always have expressed regret at the change to banking rules but didn't know the change was to more than banking but included this.

(And - I can't believe it's still on the website!)
