news about points for disney collection

Today I spoke with the DVC salesperson who has been working with us on our decision about DVC, and I asked him about the 60% increase in 2002 points that I had seen discussed on this board.

He said that 60% sounded extreme; however he did anticipate that they would be hearing from a lot of dissapointed DVC Members once the point schedule is posted. He admitted that for some seasons, there will be a significant increase, although he thought that 60% would be a worse case scenario. However, he said that there would be actual decreases from last year's points for some of the seasons. Overall, though, it sounded as if he expected most DVC Members to be unhappy with the 2002 point chart.

I also asked him about DVCII, and he said that it would most likely happen with the opening of the Eagle Pines resort.

Thanks very much for your information, gray.

Did your guide, by chance, mention when that point schedule might be released?

Thanks!

So maybe our rumors on this board aren't so out in left field after all. Too bad.

I made reservations in June for the Poly in May of 2002. I thought I would have been spending about 120 pts since we are going for 4 nights (Sun-Thurs.) I just received my confirmation in the mail. It states that I am using 176 pts!!!!! Needless to say I was shocked and upset. Not much I can do about it now. I am calling MS to find out if the pts usage is correct. I never thought it would go up that much since it hasn't in the past. That would make it 44pts per night for a Sun - Thurs in May (outrageous!!). I've just learned my lesson to wait until the pt charts are out to make the ressie.

My guide said the point charts should be out "very soon".
