Is DVD ROFRing AKV?

[krayzeeguy]

I got a cold call from DVC yesterday and they offered AKV direct at $200 pp, which is at least $50 pp more than resale right now. I considered buying into DVC at the tail end of 2019 and now with the loss of Magical Express and daily housekeeping at DVC resorts, and the points pool problem I'm so glad we didn't. When I brought up the points pool problem the rep said that they're allowing people to bank more points which is helping to alleviate that, but just from what I'm hearing anecdotally it still seems like a lot of folks are having a hard time booking the rooms they want even 11 months out.

FYSA, the AKL contract we successfully got was for $129pp so more like a $70pp difference

Mine got bought back at $135. I've also seen $140 get taken lately.

Dopelmayr is the company, I don’t recall seeing that video, perhaps it was a ride w/ the lyftblog guy Peter Landsman? There was a lot of discussion/rumor about a potential phase 2 https://www.disboards.com/threads/s...l-kingdom-kidani-to-saratoga-springs.3705166/ back when phase 1 was launching & the timeline was after another 3-4-5 years if phase 1 was successful.
As much as I would love for there to be a Skyliner station at AKL/AKV, I don’t think DVC makes enough money from reselling legacy resorts in the grand scheme of things for them to start hoarding AKV points w/ an eye to making a profit several years from now due to an increase in AKV popularity driven by Skyliner access & I’m not sure there are enough guests staying at AKV/AKL to justify the cost of putting a Skyliner station there. D23 is in 2 days, watch them announce the expansion & prove me wrong .

If they had a Skyliner station at AKL and another at AK, that would make good economic sense. People going to AK would not mind that over the bus.
