Since the announcement that the Disney Vacation Club will no longer allow new members buying their time-shares secondhand to receive perks such as annual pass discounts and special event invitations upset DVC member Timothy Delasandro has started a website to express his disappointment.
The site www.kenpotrock.com is Delasandro’s way of showing senior vice president and general manager Ken Potrock his anger at this news.
The website reads:
“I am deeply distressed by your recent 4/4/2016 changes to our Club. You have effectively created 2nd class purchasers.”
The announcement was made in April which says, anyone purchasing DVC through a reseller could no longer receive what it calls Membership Extras. The restrictions, DVC said on a website, would ensure customers purchasing direct from Disney have “a premium advantage.”
Delasandro, 48, already has his membership and these changes will in no way affect him, however it is the principle and reasoning that has him so upset. Delasandro has not received any comments or responses from Disney so far.
The website only costs $10.00 to run and Delasandro says he will probably take it down after a few months, but as of now you can visit the site at www.kenpotrock.com

As a DVC member, I am not too concerned about this. The perks offered with being a member have always been fluid, and they are just that. Perks. They are in no way guaranteed as being a property owner, it is provided in a disclaimer that the Perks can go away at any time. The only thing that you are guaranteed is access to the resorts. They are creating value for themselves in buying from Disney directly. I would still look into buying from Disney directly in adding on more points in the future.
