Can anyone comment on what Disney CANNOT change in the years ahead for current DVC owners (other than total points per year per resort)? In trying to piece together responses to numerous threads in recent weeks, I've come to the perhaps incorrect conclusion that they can at any time impose almost any change: whether one has the freedom to stay at resorts other than one's home resort, required length of stay, maintenance fees (is there a cap on the yearly increase?), whether a special assessment is imposed in case of hurricane or other damage (is there a cap, and shouldn't insurance cover disasters?), whether HHI and Vero Beach remain DVC options, etc. It would seem to me that a short contract would at least hedge against loss (both financial and emotional), as would a small contract. If ownership becomes so undesirable that no one can sell, Disney still gets to reap maintenance fees for the length of the contract.
An additional disincentive to purchase is that as resorts sell out, it will only get harder to secure reservations at 7 months or less. Even now it sounds as if one has to jockey to get certain room types at certain times of year at 11 months.
Not wishing to be a downer. Just wondering what protections/assurances a buyer has.
Thanks much.
