In a MousePlanet.com podcast earlier this year, Disney Vacation Club President Jim Lewis stated that an on-line reservation fature was in the works but provided few specifics. The new issue of Disney Files Magazine sheds a bit more light on the project.
Disney Vacation Club has established June 7, 2009 as the day when it will begin accepting reservations for the Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel. Unfortunately it appears that owners will have no Home resort booking advantage for the first seven weeks of its existence.
Recently some rumors popped-up on line suggesting that Disney Vacation Club resorts were moving the published arrival time from "after 4pm" to "after 5pm." DVCNews.com contacted a DVC executive who confirmed that there is no truth to this rumor.
No changes have been made to the listed arrival times. DVC resort staff will continue to make every effort to get members into their rooms as early as possible, with the goal being to accommodate all guests by 4pm daily.
DVCmember.com has now launched the on-line check-in service. Members may now check-in up to 10 days before their scheduled arrival date through a link when accesssing their reservation information. Members will be able to add room requests, review reservations, and enter celebration information.
