Upcoming member meeting

That is a definite. They are not going to discuss what they consider hearsay. Unless it has happened to you specifically, they are not going to address it.

Yes, and that's what I said way back at the begining of this thread too. I just am apalled that we are hearing so much more of this stuff here on the DIS these days. It seems like a somewhat recent change, and not for the better. I also agree that instead of expanding the customer satisfaction team, they should be concentrating on fixing the infrastructure that seems to be failing.

I don't think it's recent. I think this board has always been that way....I really see no difference from when I first joined except that with MORE resorts we have MORE places to trash. (Anyone remember when BCV was the WORST THING DISNEY EVER BUILT, That's why it sells for top dollar now???)

IMHO these boards have "stages" and we are in one of the "look for things that are wrong" right now because some folks are unhappy that there were changes they don't like. It's almost a mob mentality... if you don't agree then the mob attacks. (See my earlier post on the offer to break my legs, that was not the only RUDE PM I got because "GASP" I have stayed in a handicapped room and not complained LOL!)

Not a guess, a fact. I have been told by multiple sources that both DVD and Disney have people who have the job of monitoring boards and internet sites.

You mean to tell me I could have been receiving pay all these years for my time spent on these boards??

Sorry, I digress. I am still stunned at another VWL family being bumped......

I have found that many of the people being moved from the rooms to other views or regular hotel rooms are not usually the DVC owners, but people they sent to Disney and possible renters. Maybe this is their way of affecting the rental market, even if the guests are not renters staying there. I would guess if they moved them from their original rooms, it would cause a problem for the DVC member with complaints from the renters or whoever they send, but by not canceling the reservation before the guests arrive, keeps from completely ruining the guests vacation, which is no fault of theirs. they just think they are getting a really nice vacation and it gives the who rents DVC a problem when others want to know how this person is to rent from.... or it just could be really bad service

Unless something happend to YOU or you have more details then you get here. (ie the member wants to give you all of their personal info, reservation info etc,) then I don't think you have a leg to stand on and Disney isn't going to pay attention. (I am sorry writing or asking "I read on the DIS that a member got thier room taken away" .... I had no damages to complain about, why should Disney care. you are giving them second or third hand info to follow up on)


As to the 15 years.... I think Disney is complying with Florida law. So call the FL legislature if you are unhappy. (And who FORCED you to pay? I seem to recall I was given an out)

The other thing to remember is these boards DO NOT RELFLECT REALITY. Most of us NEVER post when our room is fine, etc. People ONLY post when they want to complain. I always advise new owners who start reading on here and PANIC about how horrid this place that (A) take the "horror" stories and divide by half... things tend to get worse as the rumor mill passes them on. and (B) step away. I know a LOT of former posters who found this board just too negative for them. I have recently spent some time reading other boards out there. The DIS by far seems the most negative which is one reason I am here a LOT less. I also know that there are some folks on here who truly don't understand what they bought (The poster who wanted to break both my legs when I pointed out that getting a handicapped room was NOT the worst thing that ever happened to most folks comes to mind!) If you use these boards to judge the state of DVC, the rooms are falling apart, the CMS are all rude, the discounts are all useless etc. My expereince has been the exact opposite. My accomodations all seem fine, the CMs seem fine (unless they just dealt with the "I PAID $10,000 FOR DVC AND I OWN THIS PLACE" member) and the discounts are a nice bonus.

For the past 10yrs we have had excellent experience w DVC. Really can't complain.
