Phoned DVC today to pay my 2014 dues as they are due. Sadly Disney still won't accept monthly payments if you don't have a US bank account, and so it was a case of biting the bullet and saying goodbye to a few thousand dollars in one go. Hopefully I'll get a reasonable rate on the credit card.
Also phoned Dr Mullen's secretary, and she said that Dr Mullen should be looking at my referral tomorrow and she will call me back on Monday, so maybe I'll have a date then.
