the magazine, but thought the new name was weak and unimaginative (despite their explanation).
. The rest, I will miss (especially in the winter issue) all the special holiday things, that are planned at the different DVC Resorts. Mmm, that's right, this is suppose to be member news about DVC
? Except for a few pages (I guess they had no choice) of DVC pictures etc. this is a Disney mag. The addition of 'fridge-o-fame' I'm sorry, (I am not disrespecting the family featured, it's very cool), it is the addition this feature that is ridiculous! Pictures of fellow DVC members enjoying a family vacation are cute. This is going a little to far, little Johnny or Suzie winning a ribbon
, has nothing to do with what's going on at DVC (unless they received alot of $$ and can buy more points
). Gee, maybe they could use that page and squeeze a few sentences and pic's about what is happening at the DVC Resorts, and I do mean the ones that exist not ones that are being (more marketing
). At this point, they could lose 'From The Desk of Jim Lewis', which has become nothing more then self promotion and marketing promo's for future DVC resorts. See how easy, if they do that they would maybe have space for articles and pictures about our homes. Rest In Peace, Vacation Magic you will be missed!

Thank you for mentioning the bumper sticker. I never realized it was in the envelope and nearly threw it away.
Honestly, I don't know how I noticed it in the first place myself! 
Can anyone tell me if my photo made it to the DVC members section? Its a sunset pic looking at the Yacht Club lighthouse? Thanks!
Here's the pic:

If you hear it from someone else, your prepared for the worst, then when you have to see or in this case(read) it for yourself it just isn't that bad. Sooo, miss reading about the resorts!We have been members since 1994 and back then the magazine just felt much more personalized, even as they added more resorts it just felt special like it was just for us. I really get the feeling that since The Disney Magazine went away they lost a big marketing opportunity, so now they are generalizing OUR magazine to satisfy the management and they will now have a magazine again that can be their marketing tool. And just looking at this from their side, it can be given out virtually everywhere within WDW and they can say look at all the neat stuff in the parks, movies, etc... oh and there's some stuff about the DVC, just in case you are interested! And then the topper will be when they again begin selling it as the new Disney Magazine and we will be told we are getting an added perk for our membership, we get the new Disney Magazine for free! How lucky we are! Can you tell I don't think this is a good idea where this is going. I do feel less of a friendly family type atmosphere over the 13 years that we've owned and more like thanks for buying what we had to sell, now get out of the way so we can sell to somebody else. They had better be glad they got my money in the past(4 times over, because I would not buy now as I don't have that same feeling I had when I first joined)
