[Sammie]

Where do I send my resume?

Karl Holz.

Karl Holz.

That works too.

For many long time members such as myself it is not about free dining or any perks.

It was about things like Disney Files, Dee Vee Cee, changes such as the change to banking with the explanation that basically we were too stupid to do it the other way. It was about being treated with respect and listening to valued members instead of being talked down to or even lied to.

I could care less about perks, nice but not what I bought. I bought a timeshare that I expect to be clean and in working when I check in. Lately that has not been the case.

And maybe they will lose the resale market rule on ownership (does not effect me by the way). My speculation is that that was the final straw. And we are about a business quarter since that occurred so the timing would be about right for a management change

Hmmm...can't wait for details.

 

[Sammie]

Ok I have been told true, but staff has been told not to discuss details.

Where is TJ with the insiders report?

Anything to do with the Aulani screw up?

I think we will be having a very interesting DVC Member Cruise next month..

 

[TLSnell1981]

Lol..Wiki has already updated..

 

[Sammie]

Honestly I know no more than any of you. Basically those that would know are not talking which usually almost always means it is true.

If it is not true, they are always very forth coming in saying that it is rumor.

Bill

What happened at Aulani?

 

[iluvdisney]

I tend to agree with you Carol!

 

[twinboysmom]

Lol..Wiki has already updated..

They sure have. That was quick. I am interested to see what happens now. I hope things improve for the better. I know it can get worse but I am going to remain hopeful that this is a positive change. To the poster that called the OP a troll, perhaps an apology is in order?

 

[tjkraz]

Timing sure fits. Bury the news late on a Friday. Hmmmmm.

 

[disneynutz]

What happened at Aulani?

Due to unknown reasons Disney has halted sales and a couple of DISers who thought that they bought Aulani received closing Docs for AKV.

What happened at Aulani?

Aulani sales have been on hold for about a month due to some unspecified legal issue. Only thing DVC would say about that is documents are being revised.

One report suggests that the proverbial "other shoe" dropped in the midst of promotional events in Pasadena to promote Aulani. They had 4 nights of presentations lined up. According to one person, all was well and good the first night but by night #2 there was no word of Aulani and CMs were told not to discuss any Aulani sales topics with attendees.

While certainly not unique to Disney, they seem to let people go at the end of the day on Friday. It's less disruptive to staff members. If this is indeed true, it makes sense to do it on a Friday.

 

[Wenny]

My guess is someone at that level would have known ahead of time - they just chose to let it leak on Friday after 5:00.

It's my understanding that there was an issue with the [RE sales] registration paperwork in Hawaii. It was discovered something was done wrong, and they (Disney) were not actually licensed to sell Aulani and needed to correct the legal filings. As a result, they could not do so much as even publicly acknowledge it existed never mind solicit sales.

Promotional events were scheduled in Orlando as well, for the explicit purpose of pushing Aulani. Invites had been sent and loads of responses received; all requirements were in place, except for that one little piece.....
