I guess whether any of this happens and whether it is really good will depend on whether it is the usual "evil" DVD, headed by Jim Lewis, who is making the decisions, or someone who actually wants to create a valuable benefit for
DVC members (I doubt that person exists in the management of DVD).
They did have a program before where you could buy a "discounted" pass that provided 5 hopper days per year for four years and which expired in 5 years -- you got 5 entries per year, if you used one in any given calendar year you had to use all 5 that year (there was no carry over of unused days and you could never get more than 5 entries in any one calendar year); the entire pass expired after five years. You had to pay the total cost up front. That existed when Disney had 5 day hopper passes that never expired but did not have a hopper pass that expired. At first glance it looked OK but then people figured out that the actual cost was really not a discount at all and having only a five day option was stupid, i.e., what was everyone to do who wanted 4 or 6 days a year or, for just one of those multiple years, wanted more or less than 5?
It looks like the survey indicates that DVD is considering resurrecting something that is the same and will likely be touted as having a discount that really doesn't exist (Jim Lewis at his best).
