concierge collection 2011/new dcl policy leave me with res. pts. to use elsewhere

[ellenmiele]

When might the concirge collection list for 2011 be released? Wwhen school calendar came out I had cancelled a Dream cruise with points and had unfortunately dawdled on rebooking as I was waiting for DH's work schedule. Just read the disturbing thread about not being able to book Dream with point until after Sept 2011 and now I have 300+ reservation points that I will need to use by June. Hoping to find a destination in concierge collection but when will 2011 list be out? How often does it (conc. coll.) change? I know I could go to non-dvc WDW resorts but this year was to be a non-parks year for us as our ap's expired and etc. etc. etc. Feeling desperate!!!

No telling when the 2011 Concierge Collection point chart will be out. The 2010 was very late in getting released. DVC has to renegoiate the rate they pay those resorts every year.

The 2011 Concierge Collection charts should be out within the next 6-8 weeks.

Stay tuned!

We have used the concierge collection many times and have always been impressed with the accomodations provided. We wish they would expand the choices of places to go. In the past there have been many wondeful locations that have been discontinued. The list for 2011 will not be released until all the contracts have been negotiated for all locations to be offered. Some deals are probably done or do not require renegotiation each year, so MS may be able to provide you with available locations and points required. I know we did this one year and were able to book prior to the new list being released. It is worth a try, all they can tell you is nothing is ready to book yet.

Thanks for that tip - I'll call tomorrow!

I just contacted member services this week on the same issue and was informed by email that the 2011 Concierge Collection is not yet available, they don't know when it will be, and to keep checking back. I plan to check at least once a week. DH and I are going on a river cruise in Europe in Apri 2011 and would like to spend three nights in London pre-cruise, at the Royal Garden Hotel, where I've stayed previously, using DVC points. We haven't been able to book it yet. This year, in fact later this month, we are going to stay at the Regency Hotel in New York City on DVC points. Two years ago, we stayed at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC through DVC. All of these properties are top level. To me, the concierge collection was a selling point for DVC, since DH and I are empty nesters so we don't want to just go to Disney World, although it's great to take the grandchildren there. Hoping to be able to book soon.

don't believe everything you read on the Internet. You may or may not be able to use those points for DCL. Call MS and ask.
