The Orlando Sentinel comments on how changing credit markets negatively impacted Disney Vacation Club during the 2009 fiscal year.

To U.S. residents late-November is typically synonymous with the Thanksgiving holiday.  But to Disney Vacation Club members, it also signals the arrival of resort budgets for the coming year.  Right on schedule, the 2010 statements have begun to arrive at members' homes.

Disney Vacation Club has scheduled a new round of webcasts for both members and non-members.  All participants will receive a gift just for attending and special incentive pricing is promised.

Disney Vacation Club has unveiled a new "Castle to Castle" promotion which gives new buyers as many as EIGHT free Annual Passes--four at Walt Disney World and four at Disneyland--with a purchase of 160 or more points at The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel.  Current members are eligible to receive half as many free passes with an add-on purchase of 100 or more points.

Update:  This offer also applies to purchases at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas and the incentives get more attractive with a purchase of 220 or more points.

The Pricing & Promotions page has been updated to reflect the latest offers available direct from Disney Vacation Club.  There are several interesting aspects to this latest round of incentives.  Read on for details.
