That is nice, but apparently DVC is shifting to RCI at the end of the year.

I certainly hope not.

From what I read on the DVC website it was a switch to RCI, but an addition of RCI.

After reading this again, it does look like it will be RCI instead of II.

DVC website:
Disney Vacation Club enhances World Passport Collection
With a growing number of Members exploring a world of vacation destinations beyond their Home Resorts, Disney Vacation Club is committed to ensuring that those Member Getaways exchanges present the best and most diverse experiences possible. It's with this commitment in mind that Disney Vacation Club has formed a relationship with RCI, the world's largest vacation-exchange company, effective Jan. 1, 2009.
While Members will continue to choose from more than 500 destinations across six continents and 25 countries, the enhanced Member Getaways program will offer a significantly broader range of resort experiences, length-of-stay options (including more nightly exchanges) and more.
Members will receive more details by mail and here on the Web site beginning in late December, and the new Vacation Planner is scheduled to begin mailing in the late spring.
To ensure a smooth transition to RCI, Members may continue to confirm available exchanges through the current World Passport Collection through Dec. 31, 2008, and all exchanges booked by that deadline will be honored.

There's a thread in the Operations thread that discusses this, and one person posted a conversation with member services confirming a switch to RCI and dropping II.

I wonder when this will actually take place? Will the transition be into 2009? I was hoping they would add RCI and Keep II..
