DVC Direct July 2025 Sales Data

Honestly, if you are buying 1k of points at BWV, Golden Oaks is right up the street. Might as well consider it.

They only have bus transport, non-starter for many

But it's bus stop #1 nothing will get you closer to the main gates of the parks.

VGC definitely not NA in July

I get the feel you bought some?

But it's bus stop #1 nothing will get you closer to the main gates of the parks.

We got to park in that spot when racing to catch Starlight (in a Minnie Van) a couple weeks ago. It was pretty nice….but not $500k nice, let alone whatever those homes are selling for…plus the Bus Stop #1 at EPCOT is probably still further than BCV to IG.

“Disney has now sold 113,680 points for the Cabins, which is about 4.1% of the resort’s estimated 2,780,943 total points.”

Expires 2075. After selling VGF2 and PVB2 with only 41 or 42 years left, maybe they think as long as it sells out under 10 years it’s fine? But at the rate it’s been going might not sell out until 2055 There must be another piece of this puzzle. Can’t wait to find out!

I really thought Riviera was going to be higher after seeing those high point deeds.

If Disney decides to call Riviera sold out when it reaches 95%. Selling 45,000 points a month is going
to take almost 24 months. If it were close to the 98% that Disney is required to keep, 45k/month puts it at 28 months.

There are some number of points Disney has received back, so that’s a low end.

Will Disney decide to have better incentives?

Last time I looked iirc starting around $7m. And it’s on a land lease.

Maybe the Trust will be continually amended and never actually expire.

Ahh yeah, like a 2028 buyer getting a 2078 expiration? Seems possible with the trust model.

August data is going to show even better. Already passed July numbers. It is possible August data will be the highest ever for a month of deeds.

Disney finally decided to give CFW really good incentives.

Yes those incentives finally made it tempting to us!

Just curious since you seem to know - when you mention the 98% figure, does that mean Disney is required to keep 2% of the resort's points? Is that a requirement laid out somewhere? For all DVC resorts? Again, mostly just curious and thought I'd ask since you seem like you might now. I've also had the thought that, since RIV does not have a hotel component, maybe it is possible Disney will want to hold more and have cash rooms available than is typical for DVC resorts.

Florida timeshare law requires that 2% of the resort be held back so that units are available for routine maintenance and emergencies. For weeks-based TS, only 51 of 52 weeks can be sold. For points based like DVC it’s 98%.

In actuality DVC usually has more than 2% under their control at any given time due to foreclosures, ROFR, etc.

Thank you! Very good info to know.

It will have better incentives, but of course shorter life. Now is the time 2 years out to start RIV 2 if they are going to build since it would be done right at sell out point.

Assuming better incentives means better price…

Doesn’t that depend on UY? Anyone with Feb-Aug can sit back and wait. They will receive 2025 and later points if they buy before their UY in 2026.

Only those with Sept-Dec have the clock ticking for 2024 points.

The longer someone waits until it is closer to their UY, they also pay lower prorated dues.

My comment was more about waiting two years for the final fire sale that may or may not happen. I got a good deal on my recent points, but it’s nowhere near the deal. I got four years ago with four more years of points

Don't you mean DVC's 19th property: Yacht Club's Commodore’s Quarters

In two years, likely two price hikes and as you point out 2 fewer years.

Other than VGF2, what other resorts had fire sales to sell them out?

Thank you! Very good info to know.

I am not sure about ca or hi timeshare law requirements, but i know fl requires 2% and sc requires 4%.
