Something new - "Member Since" buttons
From the WDW Cast Member information web site:
Beginning Feb. 26, Disney Vacation Club® Members will be able to celebrate their Disney vacations with special "Member Since" buttons, available at a variety of locations at both the Walt Disney World® Resort and the Disneyland® Resort.
These special celebration buttons are a wonderful opportunity for Disney Vacation Club Members to be recognized by our Cast as well as provide Member-to-Member and Member-to-Guest conversation starters. Cast Members are encouraged to use the phrase "Welcome Home" when they notice a Member wearing the button. This is a familiar phrase to Members, of course, as it's the message they hear whenever they arrive at a Disney Vacation Club Resort or are greeted by a Disney Vacation Club Cast Member.
A space on the button allows customization by Cast Members of the year the Member joined Disney Vacation Club.

Sounds like a marketing/sales plan more than anything else...
-
That was my thought too Rox. Wonder how much they will charge me to advertise for them? Of course if I buy a Nike t-shirt I pay for advertising for Nike. Someone came up with some great marketing strategy there.

Of course its a marketing sceme but I do like the idea of being able to identify other members while at the parks it could be great conversation piece if your meeting new people.
From the description it sounds like the the buttons that you get for "1st Visit" "birthday" or the "I'm celebrating..." So I'm guessing they will be free. I'll see if I can find them this coming week when we go back.

Wonder which date I get to use. One of our resale contracts we bought in 2002 came with membership cards in our name but say member since 1995, which was the date the original owners purchased it.

I don't know we're pretty much newbies to DVC and I'd love one.

Even though I am not a member of DVC, I think this is a great idea. It is a cool way of members being able to identify each other and discuss - and Disney even gets advertising from it.

Looking forward to getting one on our trip in the fall.

I'm also a member, but I'm curious to whether you would be a little bit shy about advertising that you are a member? Would people look at us as coming across a little bit "high society" or snooty? I've seen the nice Beach Club DCV jackets and thought about buying one but wondered how it would look. Just wondering.

I can't afford DVC, but I would not think you are snooty, just lucky !
Enjoy your button !

I'm looking forward to getting my button during our May trip! Even if it is some big, secret Disney conspiracy to have DVC members advertise for them...I don't care, bring on the button! It could be argued that anyone who buys a WDW/Disney T-shirt, coffee mug, or any other souvenir from the parks and resorts is paying to advertise for Disney. At least the DVC buttons are free!

I got my button last week. I got more comments from Cast Members because alot of them haven't seen the button yet. As of last week the only places we found the buttons were at the DVC kiosks in the parks. It didn't start to many conversations but I was also chasing after a 2 year old most of the time.

Can't wait to get one in October.
One thing about DVC and timeshares in general....
Our family has owned a timeshare on Hilton Head Island since the early 80's. While it works on the week system, not points, we went the same week every year and met up with families that had the same vacation pattern as we did. Great friendships and fun was had each summer.
We believe that with our DVC membership and our travel patterns and preferences, that we will most likely be going every October until we buy so many points that we go every month.
Wouldn't it be cool to meet other DVC members and maybe find families that we get to know and see every year like we did at Hilton Head? That was one of the funnest things about our HHI vacations... meeting up with our "summer" friends year after year.

I got a "member since" button and a nice DVC book on our disney cruise a couple months ago. Funny thing was we didn't go on points and were guests of my parents. Some computer must have linked everything somewhere at the Walt Disney Co.
