idea for an e-book

There seem to be large numbers of Passporters who are also DVC members. I have been a DVC member for a little over a year and there's so much to know about it. Maybe an e-book that pulls all the information into a single source could help new, existing and potential DVC members.

I like your idea. We're thinking very seriously about buying DVC points, this would really help me.

I think this is a great e-book idea. I would like to see this book include information on each DVC resort. In addition some suggestions are tips on how to get the most out of your points, information on outside Disney options, perks, special offers, etc.

This is a great idea for an e-book. I'd love to see Disney's Vero Beach resort included in the book because there's very little information about it on the Disney website!

Carrie, since you're already working on this e-book, do you think it will come out before April 2008?

Looking at the timeline we have right now, I think I can safely say that this book will be ready before April 2008! (And Jennifer will be along shortly to correct me if I'm wrong! )

I love the idea... I remember the old DVC books that Disney used to give out, and they were wonderful -- tons of information. The new ones stink, quite frankly.

I too would love an e-book on DVC. Don't forget to include Hilton Head Island. We stayed there last Oct and meet other guests who used Hilton Head Island as a stopping point on route home to break the journey up and to relax after full on WDW.

An e-book is the perfect place for an indebth DVC source. The ability to change it as the new DVC's come on line is a prime example why. Just to be able to follow when the AKV are complete and the new or "whatever" is being built over at the Contemporary are finished.

Thumbs up

This would be soooo welcome. I want to join and I've done lots of research but my head starts to spin after a while.

Passporter clears your head when thinking about a Disney holiday, maybe they can do the same re DVC.

I'd especially like some sort of budgeting tool, (for initial expenditure and the first couple of years) and a bit of help choosing a home resort. I end up going round in circles on that one.
