DVC Sales is Losing the Magic with me

*smile* he was teasing I think Alexander - but its nice of you to explain just in case he wasn't!

Good luck with your decision!

Its funny that I saw this thread.We purchased at SSR in November and are closing in June. I have called my "guide" a couple of times and it seems every time I call he is on vacation! This morning it was Colorado, a couple of months ago it was the Carribean! I wish I traveled and had the money to do so as much as my guide! We are making a short trip in May over Memorial Day Weekend and since Ive never even toured SSR I was hoping I could set up a date to do so while I am there.

Just venting but also a little aggravated...

IIRC, DVC guides also take turns doing the Disney Cruise Line voyages to sell their product there. A 7-day cruise would obviously keep them out of the office for a week, but whether it's a "vacation" or not is debatable.

In fact, this is an intersting possibility that wasn't really addressed when DadisGoofy's posted his issues. In addition to the cruises, it's my understanding that the Guides' schedules are far from 8-5, M-F due to the weekend hours at the sales center and late evening hours giving tours. I'm certain that I read something indicating that the Guides typically have 3 or 4 day workweeks with very long business hours.

I had a similar experience with my guide. I took the tour in Nov. but was not ready to sign anything that day. My guide made a big deal about going to managment to extend the discount you get if you commit that day for three days. I went home, had questions and called my guide still within the three day time period. About a week or so later, I get a message from guide. I return call, no call back. Meanwhile, I do some investigating on my own, get answers to questions and bought resale to get the resort I wanted for less money.
