The holiday season at Walt Disney resorts embodies the company’s mantra. Uncle Walt constructed the "Happiest Place on Earth" and the "Most Magical Place on Earth" from orange groves and swampland. His ability to create something from nothing is why his status as a global icon remains unquestioned half a century after his death.

In November 2015, overall direct sales of Disney Vacation Club points for all resorts excluding Aulani, Disney Vacation Club Villas and the Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel dropped to 98,942 points. This is only the second time since we began tracking sales data in July 2010 that the monthly point total failed to reach the 100,000 point mark.

The soft goods refurbishment project at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas will commence just a few short weeks from now.
