Disney's Long Term DVC Strategy

[HyperspaceMountainPilot]

No love for BRV?

I only see us losing 2 resorts, HHI & VB.
BCV, BRV & BWV will most likely be resold allowing current eligible owners to continue to book there. It will of course be a blow to those with non grandfathered resale contracts.

Does anybody have any idea what percentage of resale is currently grandfathered and/or what percentage of grandfathered resale will still exist after 2042? I believe it’s at least possible to have grandfathered resale at AKV, PVB, SSR, VGC, VGF, BLT, and AUL post 2042…but I think many of those resorts would have been very new when the restrictions kicked in so I would not expect much of their resale is grandfathered?

It's a situation that doesn't have an easy answer, I'm afraid. Current DVC leadership seems to operate under the general premise of "DVC Resale is the devil."

Easy to forget that Disney has sold 100% of all resale contracts as direct developer points at some point, in fact sometimes sold the same points twice or even more if they get them back via foreclosure or ROFR
I don’t believe they think resale is evil, more that they see it as an annoying byproduct of the way they operate the club
I honestly don’t think they are losing that many sales, properties are still getting sold out and in the meantime lots of rooms get backfilled by cash guests
My main concern with current DVC strategy is that everything is becoming DVC, how do you keep it special if higher and higher %age of deluxe rooms are owned by us
They want to shift occupancy risk to us but things like the cabins whilst they make sense financially made no sense when comparing to the rest of the product
That doesn’t give me confidence in the decision makers

I am not sure anyone would know.
Remember there are different dates for the grandfathered points. The one that imo that has the biggest impact is for contracts on/before 1/19/2019 allowing the points to be used at any resort. If your points are in that camp they could have been from any of the O14 resorts.
