DVC Association Meeting 12/12/13

[dvc at last !]

Is there anyone who is at WDW for the Association Meeting who will report to those of us who are not there ?

 

[DVC Mike]

I'm here, but not planning on posting unless no one else does. I'm sitting here waiting for it to start. I'm sure there are other DISBoard folks here.

I am here. Looks like they are set up for a smaller group this year.

Did they say why they are fencing in the feature pools? There has been speculation here about the reasons but I'm curious if they said anything about it in the meeting. Thanks for the report!

 

[LauraLea]

Right now fencing in the pools is not a done deal. Pool hours at feature pools will be put in place, but fencing is yet to be determined, esp. who will pay for it.

I guess they will just expect security to run people out of the pools if there after hours.

Ken Potrock gave NO details on the new DVC at the Polynesian, besides referring to the earlier announcement.

They just said they are looking into fencing the pools, with no idea of who would pay for it. Someone asked if member dues would need to pay for any of the cost, but they weren't sure.

 

[LauraLea]

To add to what Mike has shared:

1. VWL rehab - They are looking for a way to add the extra sleeper to this rehab. Not sure it will happen as they have to find a piece that will fit into the space.
2. Perks - Ken acknowledged DVC members rightfully should expect special treatment and perks. He has heard our request for perks for dining, shopping and tickets. Look for news about these to roll out in the weeks to follow.

And that is exactly my expectations as to when DVD will add new benefits.
