Disney Vacation Club adjusts 2010 Vacation Points charts

[kiingor]

Wow, really? Well, the total number of points for a resort can't change. Is what you're saying across the board? All resorts? We take lots of weekend trips because DH has "lost" some vacation days..cutbacks. I could be happy with this.

Is that really true- that the total # of points for a resort never changes-even 10 yrs from now ? I was under the assumption that they go up maybe 1 pt every few years or something.

All, I have the AKV chart saved as a PDF on my computer. If any of you want it and cant get to it now because of the site please email me at katie.siloac@gmail.com

its easy for people who already go on weekend to somewhat shrugg this off but for us sunday-thursday families this really is a blow...i realize this is legal but again because its legal doesnt make it right...Disney is losing a day from me on tickets and food...not trying to to be mean towards anybody just am really frustrated

I understand being disappointed/upset, but I don't understand thinking that you have actually been wronged in some way.

Did anyone save the pdf and can post the new point charts? Must be heavy traffic trying to view them and the site keeps looping back to the log-in screen.

Thanks in advance,

its 2hrs later and i was going to post the same question! the site is still looping.

But they did give you notice for planning purposes. No one can book more than 11 months out at any resort, and 2010 as of today is more than 11 months out. Doesn't help anyones situation I know, but they did give everyone enough notice IMO.

Well, I was able to borrow from my 2010 vacation points. As I wrote earlier, I specifically planned the borrowing to leave me with enough vacation points at my home resort (VWL) to book a 5 night Sun-Thur stay during Spring Break of 2010. Now, I don't have enough 2010 points to book the stay.

its quite simple my trip to HH is now 25 points more for 2010 than 2009....and with a spouse who just lost her job we cannot add on at this point.....didnt say i think its unethical or illegal just wrong.....if you are a sunday - thursday person youwould feel the same way....maybe i sound bitter but thats one day every year for for the next 33 years that we have lost because of this...i certainly understand the rules i have to live by with DVC that doesnt mean i think things are laways done right

 

[pouncingpluto]

But wrong in what sense, if not legally or ethically?

If they are going to change the chart for 2010 they need to have them up by 1/25/09 9 am EST since that is when 1/1/2010 can first be booked.

I don't know...if folks are so outraged by this change (as I've read "being legal doesn't make it right", or words to that effect) then where was the outrage when folks read their contracts?

If you think it's a bad clause, then why did you buy?

Clear thinking, bookwormde!

you dont have to agree with everything within DVC to love it...if i followed this principle my wife would have left me along time ago

They can never change. It's the number of points at the resort that are declared. That number is set in stone. OK...that's my understanding.

Don't throw up, just borrow 1 point each year! You'll only end up short in the last year of your contract.

You're right, I could do that. The idea was that we had exactly enough to vacation how we wanted to (AKV every year at Christmas or Labor Day) and BLT 2x in 3 years during magic). It throws things off. And I feel like I'm lucky--I do have that extra point, it's just at another property. Some folks sound like they will indeed be short and possibly lose a day (on points anyway) because of it.

Strange...when I first posted on this thread I printed out 2010 AKV and BLT point charts. I dont' want to cause more uproar in posting them, but if anyone wants them, PM or email me at: rhonda_foss@comshark.com

 

[HookdonWDW]

I listed VWL and BCV on seperate threads on this board.

HTH...

Clear thinking, bookwormde!

Clear thinking and DVC don't often go together.

Look, I purchased 2 years ago. Prior to the purchase, I inquired about that clause. My investigations uncovered that the clause really didn't mean much ...there was a "minor" change in points allocations at OKW. And, I've since learned, that BWV had some adjustments prior to the sales being completed. Other than that, there really weren't any changes.

Say you purchased 350 points at VWL and planned to use those points to stay in a one bedroom for one week every year during the Premiere Season. Then, the Premiere Season was changed to 450 points for the week. Naturally, Magic season was reduced by 70 points and Dream season was reduced by 30 points in order to make it legal under the contract. Wouldn't that upset you in the least if you specifically planned to vacation in Premiere season?

Actually you would need to borrow 1 point the first year, 2 points the next year, 3 points the next year, 4 points the next year, etc., if my math is right at this hour of the evening.

Absolutely, but there's a difference between being upset about the change and claiming that you have been wronged by DVC.

I think this is more than a minor adjustment. Add the change from II to RCI, and I think it's more $$ driven than for the benifit of the members.

I'm very disappointed with this if it holds true. I do find it odd that it has already been pulled from the site. I am leaving sun for an 12 day trip and will be visiting my guide for sure!!! Hopefully he will have some answers.
