O.K., they just want to change their customer behavior.

Yes, but it would appear the customers are not going willingly.

I can't believe they would change the point charts for BLT without it even being open yet. Can you imagine what a new member must think - they were given point charts to help them figure out how many points to buy and Disney is changing it before it even opens and they are limiting add-ons to 100 points? If that would have happened when we first bought in to DVC I would have wanted my money back. I'm starting to think DVC has no idea what the heck they are doing. That is just nuts. Hopefully those point charts were a mistake. Bizarre.

Nope they are not a mistake, they are back on the member website.
Got the official email from DVC earlier this evening.

I'll put the DVC crowd up against anybody.

I'm slightly surprised at the reaction, they were more after mgmt with the reservation change. That darn thread went on forever and when people booked a couple of AKV CL villas with one call and no waitlist, they put their torches and pitchforks away and went home.

The torches are alive and well over on DIS, though. "I was misled!" "My Guide lied to me!" "We need to put a Class together and sue!"

They sound like Wyndham owners.

Or Marriott owners in Aruba.

I must have the most up-front DVC guide in the place. He told us this could happen, plus he gave us an almost Dean-like intro to II.

I'm interested more in the waitlist change, someone was told you can only waitlist if you can't get a room, ie can't book AKV SV studio and waitlist AKV studio CL level.

Next thing they'll do is eliminate doing the 7 month switch a roo, of which I'm a big user of in our non holiday trips.

I feel sorry for the people that did small add-ons at BLT based on the point charts they were given. If they are a few points short, there is no way to correct it with that 100 point minimum add-on rule for BLT that went into effect January 15th. Why didn't Disney show them the 2010 point charts to help them make an informed decision? That is so NOT right. Sad. DVC is going to end up ruining the Walt Disney Company's reputation if they keep making stupid moves like this. Last minute communication to the membership is becoming a habit with them.

I am soooo glad we did not do a small add-on at BLT.
