Two weeks ago we reported on the Grand Disney Firsts event scheduled for Founding Members at the Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel.  Turns out there are also a series of dates for other DVC members a few days later.  Additional sessions are being held Friday March 27th through Sunday March 29th at Disneyland's Paradise Pier Hotel.  Sales incentives are sure to be offered.  Advance registration is required.  Visit www.granddisneyevent.com/dvc to enroll.

Thanks to rinkwide for the heads-up!

Disney Vacation Club members may obtain discounted tickets for Cirque du Soleil La Nouba through June 27, 2009.

The discount is not applicable for tickets April 4 and April 18.

Multiple readers have contacted us with reports that Disney is having trouble applying the Disney Vacation Club member discounts to backstage tours.
