In its third quarter 2009 earnings call, The Walt Disney Company today reported a company-wide 7% decline in revenues and 26% decline in profit from the same quarter of 2008.  For the Parks and Resorts division, revenue declined 9% and profits 19%. 

We have clarified some information regarding the purchase incentives currently being offered by Disney Vacation Club.  In order to receive the lowest prices, new members must have a referral from an existing DVC member.  The referral will save buyers an additional $6-8 per point on the purchase.  The Disney Cruise Line voyages are also still available, but only with a reduced cash discount. 

Additional details can be found on our Pricing & Promotions page.  

We are also hearing that those who attend the Bay Lake Tower preview events in the coming weeks will be offered prices a couple dollars per point lower than what is currently available to the general public.

Disney Vacation Club held a number of recent sales events including a webcast for prospective members and the Vacation As You Wish gatherings in Boston, MA.  One consistent hallmark of these events is the discount pricing offered exclusively to attendees.  Just how good were the prices?  Read on.

Reports are beginning to trickle in regarding Disney Vacation Club's new discounts that went into effect on June 16, 2009.  Here is a rundown of what our sources have reported thus far.

Reminder that the current wave of incentives on Disney Vacation Club point purchases is scheduled to end on June 15, 2009.  Historically DVC has not released new incentive pricing before the old expires, so there is no way of knowing what sort of offers may follow.  Those interested in the current pricing level, which offers a discount of up to $21 per point with a referral from an existing DVC member, should consider a commitment prior to June 15th.
