Dean - I'm so sorry. I inadvertently hit the edit button instead of the quote button and deleted your post when I made my reply. I promise to have another cup of coffee and be more careful in the future and hope that you can recreate your remarks. Carol

WOW! You told me you were going to "get" Dean, but I thought you were just joking around!

I think they can only sell roughly 1/3 as fixed weeks and obviously it won't be anywhere near that overall. Look at it this way. In order to sell ten 3BR fixed weeks for week 51 they must have ten 3 BR declared. I'm doubting the fixed week option will have much impact other than maybe the 3 BR units.

I was just told by a guide that fixed weeks will be 35% and the remaining 65% will be "normal points." Take it for what it's worth, but it sounds like you're right on top of what's being told.

I think that's the max, in reality it'll be much less overall. The 3 BR are likely to be about the only thing in demand to amount to anything for the fixed week option.

Carol,
I just want to state publicly that I appreciate how you "moderate" with kindness. Your comments reflect an understanding that others sometimes simply make mistakes without malicious intent, as well as a willingness to also admit that you make mistakes at times!

That's because she's from Minnesota and we all know about "Minnesota Nice"!

Between the weather this "spring" and the price of gas, I think she's just beat down... no bite left...

Can I ask where you are getting this info? I'm on the DVC site and don't see anything. I also looked on dvcnews.com and didn't see this.
