Direct DVC September Sales

[BayTower2010]

Some numbers for Riviera. Using DVCNews total points for Riviera is 6,739,966.
If resort is declared sold out when 97% is sold, it would reach that level when 6,537,767 points are sold.
@wdrl September data shows 5,455,823 points sold.

That left 1,081,944 points to reach 97% (sold out for
this example).

If DVD average 60k points per month (higher than they have averaged in 2026, but below what the resort was averaging prior), it would take 18 months to reach that level. (March 2027)).

I still think it sells faster once the last declaration happens because guides in the past used the “almost sold out” sales pitch in the past after the last declaration happened.

If LSL goes on sale last quarter of 2027, both Riviera and and PVB could slow.

If DVC wants to make sure Riviera is sold out by the time LSL goes on sale, there is a simple time tested solution. Starting in June of 2026 give some massive sale concessions. The question is not if they could sell out Riviera by December of 2026, but do they really care?

I’m on the Dream right now and the guides are pushing Riviera and CFW.

Is that a windmill I see in the distance, or a fixed week at Riv?

Cuz the service is there. Other theme parks here charge more for parking and their equivalent of lightning lane than Disney. The APs are wayyy cheaper tho

Exactly. I live about 10 mins away from a different theme park, but we let go of our *cheap annual passes, because the food, the theming and the experience was no where near Disney. All it did was remind me that I WASNT at Disney.. so now I get more happiness from watching YT livestreams when I can't get to the Disney parks; what I'm doing right now.

For the record, I like my local Six Flags (neé Cedar Fair) park very much. Cedar Point is great. It's not a Disney park, but it is not trying to be. It's a different thing. And, the setting on Lake Erie is just fabulous. This is an older shot--the park looks quite a bit different now--but gives you an idea.

My gripe with CP isn’t the rides or the park itself, its the food. At other parks i often find myself paying more for worse quality food than Disney. I saw a post not that long ago where someone paid 15 dollars for a singular chicken wing from Mrs. Keats BBQ. Thats just terrible. The only place I was okay with was the Farmhouse but even then the portions were somewhat small.
