New Survey Shows Disney Vacation Club Members Plan Vacation Time in Advance

Dreaming of a beautiful destination, restful days and time away from the office? According to a new survey, Disney Vacation Club might just be the answer to helping Americans use more vacation time. As part of the U.S. Travel Association’s Project: Time Off National Plan for Vacation Day, Disney Vacation Club released survey results showing that their members are more likely than most Americans to plan vacation time in advance, as well as ensure they take annual vacations.

New Survey Shows Disney Vacation Club Members Plan Vacation Time in Advance

These findings show that, while more than half of Americans (54 percent according to Project: Time Off Initiative) fail to use all of their time off, 81 percent of Disney Vacation Club members used all of their vacation time by comparison. Recent Disney Vacation Club insights even show that a majority of members (95 percent) plan and take a vacation annually while only 54 percent of Americans do the same, which constitutes more than 40 percent more vacations planned per year than other U.S. travelers.

“Disney Vacation Club is the ideal way to vacation because it enables families to commit to investing more time with each other while enjoying unforgettable vacations year after year,” said Ken Potrock, senior vice president, Disney Vacation Club. “Our members enjoy stays at 14 Disney Vacation Club Resorts in the United States, as well as at thousands of vacation destinations worldwide. By providing our members a wealth of choices for how to make the most out of their annual vacation time, Disney Vacation Club offers the perfect solution for those looking to savor what’s most important in life – time together with the ones we love.”

Project: Time Off recently released study findings showing more than 659 million paid vacation days go unused every year, and that the most effective remedy for Americans who want to use more vacation days is better planning.

However, survey results gathered from Disney Vacation Club members in December 2017 tell a more positive story, showing that Disney Vacation Club members enjoy an increased vacation frequency when traveling with Disney Vacation Club. Seventy-two percent of respondents said that being a Disney Vacation Club member inspires them to take more vacations, and 71 percent of respondents said that being a member ensures they take vacations annually.

Planning for vacation is an inherent element of the Disney Vacation Club experience with support provided throughout the process.  As a result, members are able to overcome one of the primary barriers many have in using all of their vacation time.

To help employees get their vacation days on the calendar, Project: Time Off created a vacation planning tool. By simply entering the number of days off earned, users can plot out their trips or vacations for the year, export to their work or personal calendar, and share with their family and co-workers.

Has Magic Kingdom’s Main Street U.S.A. Theater Project Been Halted?

Magic Kingdom

The internet has been all abuzz this afternoon about the Main Street U.S.A. Theater that was planned for the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. Apparently, the Main Street U.S.A Theater project has been axed by Disney and will not be built.

Originally announced at the 2017 D23 Expo, the Main Street U.S.A. Theater was planned to bring live action shows like the Frozen production at Disneyland to the Magic Kingdom. The Main Street U.S.A. Theater was promoted as being a copy of the Willis Wood Theater in Kansas City, Missouri. This is where Walt lived after departing Marceline, Missouri.

It’s pretty surprising that plans for the Main Street U.S.A. Theater have just been cancelled at this time. Recently, we reported that land was starting to be cleared backstage at the Magic Kingdom to make room for the Theater. We were under the assumption that the foundation would have been poured shortly as well.

The Main Street U.S.A. Theater was planned to be built near the current Town Square Theater and Tomorrowland.

No word on if the Theater will built at another location on Disney World property or what might possibly be built on that land at the Magic Kingdom that has started to be cleared.

As always, nothing is official until Disney confirms it so keep following along with Chip & Co to bring you the latest on all things Disney!
