I am sorry if this has already been discussed. I did a search and couldn'g find anything recent. I have just read the ALL Ears announcement:
Disney Vacation Club announced today a new multi-year affiliation relationship with Group RCI, the global leader in vacation exchange. This new agreement allows subscribing members access to a broad array of exciting vacation opportunities.
Effective January 1, 2009, RCI will become the exclusive third-party exchange provider for Disney Vacation Club, enrolling Disney Vacation Club's more than 135,000 member families into RCI's global exchange network. Through RCI, Disney Vacation Club Members will be able to enjoy vacations at a variety of destinations across six continents and 25 countries and will have access to a significantly broader range of resort experiences, including more all-inclusive options, more nightly exchanges than ever before and even a selection of luxurious, high-end fractional properties. Similarly, RCI s more than 3.6 million members will now also enjoy the opportunity to exchange into Disney Vacation Club resorts and may rent at Disney Vacation Club resorts throughout the year.
What are your thoughts on this? How will this impact DVC members ability to book Disney properties, espcially if it isn't your home resort?
