[DVC Mike]

I think the majority of DVC members will appreciate the change, as it will be viewed as simpler. A lot of new members are always confused as to when they can call and book their reservation.

While I like that people won't have to book day-by-day, this change is open to abuse by certain members gaming the system to get a booking advantage over their fellow DVC members. If I am booking Sunday - Thursday (5 nights), I can now call DVC and book Friday - Thursday (7 nights), and then call back a few days later and cancel just the Friday and Saturday night stays. I just got myself a 2-day booking advantage over those who waited until Sunday could be booked! That's not fair.

The old system, while requiring a lot of work, was actually a level playing field and more fair. However, I am not upset by this change and look forward to not having to make so many calls!

I think DVC has to focus on how they implement changes. There was no advance communication to members, and (as of now) still no notice on the DVC member web site. Apparently, DVC MS was notified of the change on Friday morning. To hear of changes like this from Disney fan sites and not DVC is bad.
