Why Castmembers Hate DVC Members!

[CRSNDSNY]

Isn't anyone getting sick and tired of seeing all the threads that keep talking this to death.

Why can't everyone just agree to disagree and let all the threads die a slow death?

Ahhhh....then the boards would be a snooze-fest!

 

[lllovell]

not only that - but why post the same "die thread die" in every one you dont like? why not just not read them

I'm sure some people are. Obviously others are not.

This thread is one of the best ever.
It shows that there are a multitude of different people that comprise the DVC and that most are willing to be active in support of their idea of what DVC is to them. If anyone from Disney/DVC reads this thread they will begin to understand the diversity of the owners and how they (Disney) can be influential in the satisfaction of the masses.
I come away from this thread with these impressions:
An overwhelming response to minimizing the number of requests
And making Smoking and Non-Smoking legitimate requisites.

It seems that this board is a good cross-sectional representation of DVC and has spoken loud and clear about how to reduce CM and Guest stress.

Anyone has the right to disagree with me, but this is my impression!

[...]It seems that this board is a good cross-sectional representation of DVC and has spoken loud and clear about how to reduce CM and Guest stress. [...]

I repectfully disagree. This board is a tiny subset of all DVC owners; a subset that is fanatical about Disney, knows as much as (or sometimes more than) many CMs, cares about every rumor and/or fact that comes up about DVC, runs spreadsheets and writes software to maximize our DVC investment, and has enough (way too much ??? ) time to discuss / debate it all on-line.

Don't get me wrong; I think that the folks here on the DIS DVC forum are some of the nicest, friendliest, most helpful and most intelligent folks I've ever met. But we do not represent "typical" DVC owners any more than the rugged Jeep owners who attend "Jeep Camp" weekends to drive on muddy trails represent typical Jeep owners.

ETA: There are 90,000 DVC owners; this thread has 269 replies. Even if each reply represented a different individual, that's 0.29% - less than one third of one percent. And since those 269 replies represent far fewer individuals, the percentage is even lower.

IMHO - YMMV

You'd think an admin would come and lock the thread already.

This doesn't seem to make any sense to me. Nobody is required to click on a thread and read it, if you do not wish to participate in the thread or are tired of it, seems like you could just skip it.

....implement extra ongoing training at DVC resorts so that CM's are fully aware that many DVC'ers are informed consumers and aren't just being obnoxious jerks and difficult people.

I think the OPs point is that some DVCer's are comming across as the latter and that it really cannot be hidden behind a mask of "informed consumers". Some do get very picky about thier room locations down to wanting a specific room number. Give me a break.

I do think BCV did take a bit of the sheen off the exclusivity at the Y&B. You see a lot more members dragging their own luggage, bringing groceries and parking their own cars (me included). Cash customers are definitely doing a more top-flight style vacation with a bigger focus on being in the parks and money-is-no-object dining.

Well, as much as I hate to admit it, you do have a point. I couldn't afford to stay near the YC&BC if it weren't for DVC. We do bring in our own food too.

Sick and tired of an interesting discussion among friends with a mutual interest, actually no.

It's January, not a lot on TV, its cold out, even here in Florida. Some enjoy quilting, some of us enjoy Internet discussions.

I won't ask you to stop quilting, agreed.

I have waited to post my view. First of all the OP if he was working in any other kind of job he would be fired automatically. The things that he wrote are unacceptable in any disney matter. I have reported this to the dvc team, and hopefully they will get to the bottom of it.

When we book for our vacations we are told all requests are a REQUEST ONLY. so do not expect it at checkin. I have been to the World several times over 30 years and I have seen rude guest from the GF to the all stars. Money is no exception.

Bottom line the OP is not a reality or he would be saying his peace. Some people can not function without turmoil, and he is one.

I have never complained at any of my stays, just to let you know.

I am from Fl and I find it rude that you ruled out one part of the country. There are idiots everywhere, including FL. . .must be one of those transplants

I think it is time to close this thread.

.... are posts beginning to disappear ?

DVC has known about this thread from day one. Trust me they are looking into it and will take any appropriate actions that they do deem necessary.

I agree entirely with Frozenfingers:

 just think it's sad and ironic that today is Martin Luther King Day and we still have all this hate and prejudice in the World

Liferbabe, I wouldn't take this personal.. IF the OP is legit, I really don't think he hates us as much as his own situation. But really, read the post closer, it is just too inflammatory. If it is really a CM, he needs to be medicated.

I do feel as a number of posters do, that this thread did serve a useful purpose if it causes even just one of us to be a little more appreciative of those providing the magic. There are just better ways to stimulate discussion than this.

My thoughts to the DIStroll: There are any number of ways to achieve your goal without being so inflammatory. I do hope the mods discover your ID and have good discussion themselves about the value you bring to the community. If your are indeed a CM, well clearly you have had a bad day and insulted a significant population. I wouldn't advocate your dismissal, but clearly direct customer contact isn't your cup of tea. Perhaps reassignment to the alligator removal detail would be more in line with your view of the world. I understand if you grab a gator by the tail, their reaction is pretty predictable.. they don't tip either.

Have a good day everyone..

I think that we should at least consider the underlying message sent by the OP. Yes, what was said could have been said differently but lets not let that get in the way of the message itself.

Frankly, I've seen things written on these boards that tend to support the OP's position. But, the other side of the equation is that the OP made assertions without providing anything but annecdotal evidence. So, is it true the more CM's would prefer to not work at certain DVC resorts? Wow, if that is true then it would be something the we as DVC members and Disney should be concerned about.

Whether its true or not, I think the level of civility has declined since I was a child (raised in the South) in the 1950's.

I think this is a letter that the OP should have written, put in an envelope and then put aside to look at later to see if really it should be printed.

Excellent point. I think there is some validity in the OPs message, regardless if he could have been more skillful or tactful in communicating it. Funny how so many are rushing to kill the messenger, and avoid the underlying message.

I agree with you, I have also seem posts that support the OP's position. To hear that this post has somehow been reported and implying action will be taken seems to be supporting the OP's poorly communicated position, some DVCer's can be exceptionally picky, overly demanding, and hard too please.

Of course that does NOT include ME......other DVCer's.... don't expect me to fess up to my shortcommings.......

True, but did you raise your children the way you were raised? Of course you did because what else did you know but that way!

My kids open doors and allow the other person to pass through first.
They say please and thank you ALL OF THE TIME.
They would never call someone a name in public.
They wouldn't push to the front after others have waited there before them.
Need I go on?

That's because I would never have allowed them to do these things as children and now that they are adults, raising their own children, they are teaching them the same way. I have an utterly polite, adorable GD.

I really feel that the reason people are rude is because they were never taught to be polite. IMO

Different cultures are a whole 'nother story!!!

And my mother taught me that you treat people as you would like to be treated. Most of the time you get what you deserve in the respect category.

Anonymous or not, the OP should never have pressed submit.

This could very well be true, but it isn't just DVC members who act this way. It isn't an exclusive trait to DVC. Check out the resorts board and you will see it is everywhere.

I agree the OP may have had some valid points in the expectations some people have when they check into Disney resorts. But to say Cast Members HATE DVC members or to say newer members are low class or people from the Northeast are the naughty ones really isn't the best way to get your point across, as valid a point as it may be.

Agreed.
