What have you done for me lately?

Actually it's Jim Lewis.

Never met him, but here's my short list of positive changes during his short tenure:

* First and foremost, the best AP pricing available ANYWHERE. Members were collectively asking for this perk for years, and DVC finally delivered under JL

* DVC members eligible for attraction previews (Soarin, Stitch)

* Member Homecoming event May '04

* Member Cruise 2005

* FREE Member Merry Mixers December '04

* Organized attempts to obtain points for members at sold-out resorts

* Only one base price increase, and some nice purchase incentives along the way for current members

Anyone else care to add to the list?

Is Jim Lewis a Disboard member or an actual DVC or Disney employee?

Our family of 5 only bought one AP, mine. The rest of our ticketing are the no exp 10 day MYW passes.... But I am thrilled with the discount offered on the AP!!

Pool slide at OKW, which to us is a huge perk even though the slide almost knocked me unconsous.... but, if Jim was listening to the members would he of added a slide?

I love reading about all the Member gatherings.... I just wish they would let us know a year or two in advance, so we could plan to attend one....

Jim Lewis is the Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Disney Vacation Club. In other words, he runs DVC. He was named to that position around October / November '03.

Check inside the front cover of any recent issue of Vacation Magic for his brief quarterly address.

The AP discount was huge. I would have been thrilled with 10% to match the Ultimate Park Hopper discount after we lost the 5% Disney Club discount. We got almost 25%! Never dreamed that would be possible.

I think Jim Lewis is doing fine job as head of our DVC. I have talked to him at the last two OKW annual meetings. He is very personable, has a sense of humor & is quite approachable. He also seems to really listen to the members.
