Overall, I don't have a negative opinion of him, as some things with DVC improved under his watch, but DVC has basically been treading water, benefits-wise, for years. Sure, there's a few special promotions once in a while, but again, they tend to be huff and puff and "things of intrinsic value", rather than something concrete, like "We've finally negotiated a slightly better discount on AP's from Disney than the perpetual $100 discount that's lost some of its real value every year", or "DVC members get a 20% discount on 7-day park hoppers". But I definitely wish him well in his new position!
I have seen the increase in Membership Benefits in general, and a guy who is easy to talk to. Though the stiffing of the membership extras at Copper Creek wasn't lost on me though. Put a sour taste in my mouth how that was quietly brushed away to the point where I don't think we're doing concierge next month. Of course I don't know who is really in control of getting these benefits out to us anyway.

Oh, originally in the text Disney had with Copper Creek, they were going to have mixers from 7-10pm at night for all Members, not just those paying for the concierge lounge. April 30th comes and quietly all text from the Disney sites have this removed. People at WDW showed up to Reunion Station not knowing what was done on the internet with the wording, and were turned away.
Ok...thank you. A good piece of info for sure.
Strictly rumor, they were just moving it.
Ditto, but my non dvc family insists on staying club level when they're there so it kept my interest.
Totally understand! We have always enjoyed our CL stays so I get why your family likes it too. I'm still looking forward to our stay at CCV, but the whole deal with Reunion Station just has me meh. I get that likely it was caused by backlash of those saying $50 is too much for several hours, but still they could've handled it a little better.
