Disney Vacation Club seems to be downplaying any form of add-on sales pitch at member events like Welcome Home Wednesdays and the Royal Member Gathering. Recently there has been little-to-no mention of resorts available for purchase, prices, incentives, etc.
When present, the sales pitch was never particularly obtrusive. Many members have benefitted from special promotional offers and did not seem to mind the light sales pitch. Others undoubtedly found any mention of add-on purchases to be off-putting.
Topic: Should DVC highlight point prices and promotional discounts during scheduled member events?
