[bbowers]

I think these 2 might have been missed on the cruise thread -

10% (I think) discount on disneydirect.com
and
you can now use pts (6 per night) for campsites at Ft Wilderness

Thanks for the info -doubt we'll be using the campsite option, but the discount at disneydirect.com is certainly welcome!

Best wishes-

If I recall correctly, I thought I heard that the points for a campsite will start at 6 per night and since FW has a seasonally adjusted pricing also, the number of points could be much more during certain seasons. With that in mind, if my thought process is valid, certain times of the year a campsite might be 18 points per night which would be equivalent to $180 if rented when the maximum actual cost is $89, not such a good deal. A value season campsite is $43 a night and with discounts we usually get it for $34 per night so at 6 points again and $10 per point it is still not cost effective for us.

Since we do have a motorhome and can only easily vacation on weekends, we have not been using our points to take advantage of our DVC purchase and therefore have given some thought to selling. I guess we could try the rental or point transfer option but not sure if that is what I want to do that either.

I was pleased to hear about the 10% discount too. Was this wishful thinking or did he also mention we (DVC owners) would be able to order DVC items on line soon?

Did they indicate whether the disneydirect.com discount is available now (or indicate when it would be?)

Is it safe to assume it will be posted on the DVC web site once available?

10% starts mid-Oct. It will be posted on the web site and the next Member Vacation Magic.

If I remeber correctly it will coinside with the launching of Disneyshopping.com.

I'm so out of the loop - what is Disneyshopping.com (aside from a new way to spend my money)?

10% (I think) discount on disneydirect.com

Since i'm a platinum guest there I already get 10% off and free shipping.........I'm afraid to know how much I had to spend to get that distinction!
