MousePlanet.com 's Mark Goldhaber recently sat down with Disney Vacation Club President Jim Lewis to discuss current resort developments and other happenings in the DVC world.  Perhaps the most noteworthy comment within that discussion was confirmation that DVC is actively working to make on-line reservations a reality. 

Less than a month removed from the 2008 Condo Association Meeting, Disney Vacation Club has revealed that the 2009 meeting will be held on December 9, 2009.

DVCNews.com forum participant "DVC Mike" attended the 2008 Disney Vacation Club Condo Association Meeting and published some notes from the event.  Among the topics discussed are future resort renovations, handling of the Old Key West contract extension and the sale of some land adjacent to Disney's Vero Beach Resort.

Recently Disney Vacation Club announced new purchase minimums of 200 points for new members and 100 points for add ons at the Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort.  These changes go into effect on January 15, 2009. 

Since that announcement questions have arisen regarding which resorts will be subject to these new minimums. 

DVCNews contacted DVC spokesperson Diane Hancock who confirmed that these new minimums apply to the Bay Lake Tower ONLY.  All other resorts wil remain subject to the current 160 point new / 25 point add on levels after January 15th.

Effective January 15, 2009, the minimum purchase threshold for new members buying into the Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort will be 200 Disney Vacation Club points. This news comes a couple weeks after Disney revealed that the minimum add-on purchase for existing members will rise to 100 points on that same date.  

Until the change takes effect, new buyers can still purchase an ownership interest in the Bay Lake Tower starting at 160 points.  Visit our Pricing & Promotions page for details on purchase offers currently available.

No changes are currently planned for other Disney Vacation Club resorts.
