Of course, no availability with DVC for me to use my points (unless I want a grand villa). Haven't seen a pin offer in ages!
And Disney will adjust their strategy as they have done in the past. This isn't the first time something has failed or was overpriced. You can go back to the early years of Disneyland to find times when Disney missed the mark. Difference now is you have so many social media outlets to air your displeasure that you did not have in the past.
