Reminder: Grand Californian Bookings Begin June 7th
A quick reminder that Disney Vacation Club will begin accepting reservations for the Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel on Sunday June 7, 2009 at 9:00am eastern. Owners at the Grand Californian booking with Home resort vacation points can make reservations for check-ins beginning September 23, 2009. All reservations are subject to the 11-month booking rules.
Members wishing to book the Grand Californian using points from other Home resorts can begin calling on Sunday June 21, 2009. These reservations will be subject to the 7-month booking window.
Be prepared for extended wait times when contacting Member Services on either of these days.
On-Line Bookings Reconfirmed
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.
VGC Bookings Begin June 7; No Early Advantage for Owners
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.
2009-10 Planners by May
Due to a number of program changes implemented at the end of 2008 (point reallocation, RCI) Disney Vacation Club is quite late in issuing the 2009-2010 vacation planners to its members. However there is light at the end of the tunnel.
The 2009-10 planners should be in all members' hands by the end of May 2009. Due to staggered shipping schedules and varying transport time, it will take several weeks for all members to receive this year's mailer. But rest assured the planners will begin shipping very soon and all members should receive them within the next 45 days.
