Disney-owned Family.com is running a "Great American Family Vacation Sweepstakes" with Disney Vacation Club ownership as the grand prize.

Disney Vacation Club has planned another series of events in conjunction with its Chicago-based Doorway to Dreams sales center.

Note that we've added additional information regarding the event sessions available to non-members, and links to websites at which folks can register to attend.

Disney Vacation Club members now have a podcast to cater exclusively to their own unique niche in the Disney landscape.  The Unofficial Vacation Magic podcast debuted several weeks ago and the first three episodes are now available to be streamded or downloaded from its website. 

For further information visit podcast.uvmpodcast.com

Note that the podcast is an unofficial fan production and is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Walt Disney Company, Disney Vacation Club or DVCNews.com.

Disney has published a few more of the points charts for 2009 stays.  Now available are the point values for stays at non-DVC resorts located at Walt Disney World, as well as several options in the World Passport Collection.

A scheduling conflict kept Jim Lewis from keeping his appointment with MousePlanet.com 's Mark Goldhaber.  Fortunately Disney Vacation Club Manager of Communications Diane Hancock was available, and she filled-in admirably.
