Disney Vacation Club significance of the number 217

[wvhokie]

I just saw this question on a Disney's website and I tried to find the answer online but couldn't find it anywhere. Does anyone know the answer?

What is the Disney Vacation Club significance of the number 217?

I was thinking that it might have something to do with the history of DVC.

Thanks!

I got that question too. ???

I got nothing

Don't know either. Crazy guess - are the Poly Bungalows set to open February 17th?

Sounds like I'm not the only one applying to be on the DVC section of the Mom's Panel (even though I'm a Dad). I think you're heading in the right direction with this answer.

I believe that is the average number of points people own in DVC.

If you don't know, that's probably a darn good guess right there.

Number of rooms in the original opening of OKW, maybe? I don't know.

Or...it's the opening price per point for Poly!

These are all great guess! I have tried to look online everywhere and don't see it. I was almost tempted to call member services to see if they know

The first thing that popped into my head was the number of points for a week in a 2 bedroom in value season at OKW.

There is a question about the number 216 on the DCL application so I don't think it has anything to do with points.

And I think 189 was the number for WDW....
