2025 DVC experience/thoughts - Great rental deals and APs

[Tatebeck]

They dont have to align, but if they were to have went with DVC at the Yatch, the point values would have clearly been worth at least double of what the Beach Club are. And that wouldn't have looked good on the side of Disney. And yes, the 40 years time line most definitely would come into play as well.

There is no way that it would be double. I would easily bet all 1000+ of my points on it (even if that meant paying dues on 2000 points )

The highest point chart resorts are the ones on the monorail and close to Magic Kingdom like VGF and Poly and those are around 40-70% more (1.4x-1.7x) most of the year. (Outside of a few weird dates or using the outlier that is the cheapest standard view BWV rooms). A Yacht club DVC would fall somewhere between. Probably close to RIV point charts if I had to guess. Which I would be fine with, and probably still buy.

The Yacht Club is also a convention resort, it would interfere with convention sales (which are good, a friend of mine is sales rep and the YC sells quite well).

But the convention rooms and convention tickets are sold at cheaper rates. Even if they are selling a lot of conventions, they would make more money if they could fill the rooms with normal hotel guests or DVC. Just because convention sales are good doesn't mean that Disney will keep doing them or that it would be in Disney's best interest.

They could also convert part of the hotel, leaving part for conventions/regular cash guests of course. Maybe that would increase the competition for some smaller conventions and allow them to increase the average money brought in by a convention guest
