I'm starting to think "Oh Why Bother" at this point! Maybe they should just save on printing & mailing for this year and wait to do them for 2010-2011!!
My thinking is that there will be no more printed planners. All on line. Save your last one. No inside information, just a feeling that at some point in the next few months we will see that "due to member requests to simplify the planning process and save paper, DVC is going paperless."
A picture I took of my two nieces was chosen for the new planner, and when they asked me to sign a release for it they told me they should be out late spring. I don't have a specific date, but I am looking forward to getting it.
As a new member, I just got one -- but it's rather out of date. It includes info about II exchanges, and no BLT (altho there was an additional booklet about BLT, with points chart). Would like to have an up-to-date one that includes what's available with RCI. Like WDW web sites in general, the web site is lacking in info and ease of use. (It took me forever (well, not really forever, but a long circuitous route) to find the link to order DVC AP's). (I never did find the price of the Epcot Segway on the main site -- altho I suppose it was eventually somewhere in the booking process -- DD used the phone [good old technology]).
