Disney Vacation Club Member Services exists exclusively to service DVC members.  Representatives handle many tasks including booking reservations, entering waitlist requests, assisting with Advance Dining Reservations, technical issues like banking and borrowing of points, and so on.  After a purchase has been completed, nearly all of a DVC member's  future interactions will be with these Member Services Cast Members.

DVC employes dozens of Cast Members to staff Member Services.  Like most organizations, the quality will vary from one individual to another. Some are knowledgable, helpful and friendly while others are...not. 

Interpret this however you wish...

Disney Vacation Club ownership documents officially list the maximum occupancy of most One Bedroom villas as 4 guests.  Over the years that occupancy was expanded to 4 guests plus 1 under age three.  More recently DVC has begun to allow up to 5 guests of any age (despite the units having sleeping accommodations for only 4 guests.)

This unofficial policy has lead some members to question when / if the policy will be interpreted differently by DVC.  

Should Disney Vacation Club officially acknowledge the higher occupancy in all One Bedroom villas?  If so, should they consider adding the sleeper chairs or convertible armoires (a la Grand Californian Villas) for the 5th guest with member dues billed for the expense?  Or should DVC go back to enforcing the original occupancy limit of these units? 

There was a time when Disney Vacation Club resorts often appreciated in value after the property was "sold out" and no longer being actively marketed.  Buyers looking to purchase via resale would pay more than the original buyer for a contract that had fewer years remaining.

However in recent years this is no longer the case.  Many of the older resorts--with contracts ending in just over 30 years--have seen their resale values decline.  Even Saratoga Springs values have dropped sharply despite contracts that run for another 45 years.   

Despite being creations of The Walt Disney Company, the Disneyland and Walt Disney World resort complexes feature many differences. 

Disneyland is a very compact development with two expansive theme parks and three resort hotels.  The more intimate nature of Disneyland means that guests can easily experience all it has to offer without need for time-consuming bus or boat journeys. Yet the Disneyland Resort lacks many of the ancillary features (watersports, golf, etc.) present at Walt Disney World.  

Walt Disney World is much larger with four theme parks, two waterparks, dozens of hotels and many other recreation alternatives.  Yet the Walt Disney World theme parks are somewhat under-developed compared to their California counterparts.
