I don’t have the exact language in front of me or good way to copy it all but it’s nearly full page of details on annual pass. To me, its main purpose in phrasing is to protect Disney from obligations around annual passes to not over promise and includes language about how there can be block out dates and they reserve right to remove benefit at any time. However, there is direct mention of how to purchase including exact verbiage that new annual passes can be purchased at Disneyvacationclub.com.
I see no reason for them to have not updated to accurately reflect current state other then potential concern it would impact people purchasing directly. This leads me to believe they are not acting in good faith and likely could be opening themselves to formal complaints by any member who added on since benefit restricted who feels decieved by them stating benefit they know they can’t provide.
Here ya go. All of this is preceded by language that says these can go away at any time.
But you better believe the direct sales guides are still selling memberships with the PROMISE of getting these...
