WDW Hurricane Policy

I wonder if they'll do something similiar for DVC members

Hurricane Policy FAQ
From June 1 to November 30, 2006, in the event a hurricane warning is issued by the National Hurricane Center for the Orlando area or for the guest's place of residence within 7 days before the scheduled arrival date, the guest may call in advance to reschedule or cancel their Walt Disney Travel Co. Magic Your Way vacation package without any cancellation or change fees imposed by Disney. This temporary policy also applies to most Walt Disney World Resort room-only reservations booked directly with Disney, as well as reservations at Disney's Vero Beach Resort or Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort in the event a hurricane warning is issued for those destinations.

Last year we missed one night of our reserved stay due to Hurricane Charley-when we did arrive, we found that DVC had credited the points from that night back to our account. It was such a wonderful surprise

The CM told me that they try to take weather situations (like hurricanes) into account; he didn't say it was a rule, though. I was just very happy to hear that we didn't lose the points; we rarely take out vacation insurance, since we usually drive down--no planes/trains/boats to miss--so the odds of missing our trips were usually slim.
