CCVC studio availability

[Deb & Bill]

I think your right on both, Would have thought Disney would put a limit on the amount of days you could walk.

They do. You can only walk up to seven nights at a time. Unless you have a whole lot of points and just keep adding one more night to your reservation.

OK, that makes sense as your have people walking all the time.

I just checked. The studio is gone for today, but is available for 5/24-5/26. I suspect people are walking studios. Why else would a middle of the week day be gone while the rest of the week is available?

And yes, May has been more available studio wise than previous months.

Why start walking now? My guess would be the 4th of July.

Checked at 8:10, Walk In open from 5/20 forward and Tub is open 5/28 forward.

I checked at 8:50 and they’re still available. The 27th is available for both rooms, but yesterday they weren’t. So people are walking them.

I’ll be grabbing a studio for next June. Hopefully I’ll get on before the walkers do.

If I wanted to stay starting on May 31, 2020, when would I be able to book? This month doesn’t have a 31st day.

Im seeing them open right now for the week of May 27th.

Im sure the BRV owners would not appreciate this but I think CCV owners who cant book a studio within 48 hours of their 11th month window should be allowed to book at BRV at 11 months. Disney knowingly "oversold" a very small property.

Not fair to BRV owners. The only way to circumvent this issue is to buy a fixed week. If DVC keeps building resorts with cabins and bungalows, they are in effect proposing people do just this. The flexible booking model is fading away.

100% not fair to BRV models. I just feel sorry for the mass amounts of CCV owners who were thrown a sales pitch about booking a studio. I did the sales pitch with a CCV agent a year or so ago. Definitely a lot of untruths being thrown around about availability.

.............The flexible booking model is fading away.

But that takes enough points (and then some) for a week. That's a lot more than many seem to be buying. (So I don't think the flexible model is in much danger).

Maybe they'll go to a fixed week every other (or every third) year?

POS does not allow this so no need to worry about it actually happening.

Like many, I assumed that CCV points were skewed by the number of cabins, but in looking at the points actually sold in CCV, the points sold for each cabin were alot closer to a two bedroom villa than a grand villa.

For each CCV cabin, DVD sold about 24000 points. For each 2B villa, DVD sold about 21000 pts, while for each GV, DVD sold about 45000 pts. So, they may rent like grand villas but they are sold like two bedrooms.

Also, while CCV did sell a large number of small pt. contracts- about 40% of their contracts are 100 points or less, both PVB (46%) and VGF (48%) sold a higher percentage of 100 pts or less contracts than CCV. (The number has dropped tp about 30% for sales to date at RIV).

One last number, in comparing total points sold by DVD for each resort to the total number of studios in the resort-including those which are a part of a 2 Bedroom lock-off, CCV has about 42K points sold/available studio which is on the high end of DVC WDW resorts but not nearly as large as VGF (53K pts/studio). PVB is at the low end of the range at 11K points sold/studio.

I was on at exactly 8:00 a.m. this morning and was able to book two studios for the first week of June 2020.

Excellent information. How did you find the points sold for each cabin?

I was reading DVCNews.com and saw where they calculate the points for each unit based on information in a deed for that unit. The deeds all include a unit number, the percent ownership in that unit and the points. So I saw where Unit 15 was 2 cabins, found a deed for that unit and calculated that the total value of that unit was about 48000 pts or 24000 points/cabin.
