Disney pin trading has become quite the pastime and Disney Vacation Club pin collectors have certainly not been ignored.  Here is a quick preview of a number of DVC-branded pins scheduled for release in the coming weeks, most of which are available exclusively to members.

Earlier this week Tables in Wonderland announced that cardholders would receive priority booking priviledges and discounts for ticketed events at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival.  Turns out Disney Vacation Club members are also eligible for this perk.

Disney Vacation Club recently updated its policies regarding members "hopping" to other Walt Disney World resort pools.  The most noteworthy change is the statement that the Bay Cove Pool at the Contemporary's Bay Lake Tower is excluded from all pool hopping priviledges.  Bay Cove Pool joins the pools at Disney's Beach Club Villas and Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas on the restricted list.

Just a quick heads-up that the "Sharing the Magic" referral features on DVCMember.com appear to be working again.  This portion of the site had been non-functional since mid-June, but was reinstated sometime within the last 24 hours.

The Magic Kingdom's Hall of Presidents is scheduled to re-open soon featuring a brand new Audio-Animatronic of the United States' 44th President:  Barack Obama.  But before the attraction is unveiled to the general public, Disney Vacation Club members will be given the opportunity to preview the changes.
