I've been gone a long time since I've been on the boards having fun with you guys. Long story for another day. For now...

AKV?! Is that Animal Kingdom? Are they selling there now? Is this a rumor or a reality. Price per point? Incentives? Wow! Please fill me in :woohoo:
 
Yes, it is Animal Kingdom Villas. Some rooms will be in the existing lodge, but the vast majority will be in a free standing DVC building nearby.

It is currently in pre-sales to current DVC owners. Don't know the specifics, as I have enough points, and can't justify the price difference to sell what I have to re-purchase at AKV.
 
I don't think I got any promotional notices from Disney. I can hardly believe that. When did they announce and begin offering incentives? Not that I will be able to add on, but I am curious what they are offering. Please share.
 
We actually didn't get teh promo material in the mail until last week, so maybe yours is coming yet.

It is available for current owners to purchase until the end of this month for $101 per point. That goes up to 104 in March. If you add on 100 points or more, you can get $8/point off the $101. If you add on 150 points, you get your name on a tapestry in the new lodge. The first phase will be ready for occupancy September 1st and will be the renovated units from the 4-5th floors of the original lodge. Phases 2-5 will be in a fantastic new building not connected to the lodge, and will have its own check in area and restaurant etc. AKV owners can start making reservations with their AKV points only on May 16th. I just added on 69 points there today!
 

What's the latest consensus... Is this going to be a hot spot? We've never stayed there, so I am wondering what folks think of the resort, and its pros and cons.

Try reading the miscellaneous board where we've been talking about the AKV for weeks now.
 
It's been so long since I've been on the boards that I forgot to check there. Thanks for the reminder. I'm heading there now :boat:
 
I haven't been on the boards for awhile either...but I received the AKV info and jumped on it! We now added on our 2nd contract!! Can't wait to book our first trip... We are in the middle of a huge snow and ice storm in PA and it was great to have some Disney sunshine! Waiting for my papers to arrive!!:cool1:
 
We aren't DVC members (yet), but I called today to ask when AKV would be offered to everyone and not just current members. The CM told me what everyone else has posted about the rooms, but she also said they are going to put in "savanah view dining experience." Also just in case no one knew the 'villas' and 'dining experience' are expected to open in 2009.

Hope the papers are not coming acrossed I78, or I80 or I81, is there any way to get them here. I'm up near Allentown and it's a mess. Buying 100 points. This is our third contract gets addictive. Wonder if there is a DVC anonymouse:woohoo:
