I can't understand why DVC continues to make announcments like this with out having the facts available for their members. Now members will have to wait in wonder if they'll have enough points for their planned vacations.

They did the same thing with the dues notice by announcing that home reservation rules will change in mid December. Is it that hard to post the info on DVCmember.com the same day you make an announcement.

More television channels and Fox News will make us very happy.

WE do watch our shows over the net and via Dish Slingbox, while we are at Disney, so we haven't been watching the Disney channels non-stop lately. :D

I've been a member since 2006 and this is pretty much standard for DVC.
