As usual, the presentation was held in the Walt Disney Theater.
The presentation was actually pretty good. For those of you who have not been on the member cruise, DVC hosts a presentation where members can discover some of the incentives that DVC is offering on the cruise. Each year, the presentation has a theme. The 2010 theme was Hawaii Homecomig which was a presentation about the new DVC resort, Aulani. I really enjoyed the presentation because of the speaker, Joe Rohde, the leader of the creative team for Aulani.
He was a great presenter. He was very knowledgeable not oonly about Aulani, but Hawaii since he grew up in Hawaii. From the pictures that were shown and the discussion about all of the little details that are going into the resort, I am sure Aulani will be a stunning.
After Joe's presentation, the guides told us about the incentives.
At the presentation on the 2010 SSMC, the Aulani incentives were:
Deeded to 2062

Price increase either Nov. 21 or Nov. 26 (I can't read my own handwriting).
