Beginning January 19, anybody who purchases a resale contract for one of the 14 original Disney Vacation Club resorts will be limited to staying at those resorts.
That means that anybody who buys a resale contract after January 19 would not be able to use their points to stay at Disney’s new Riviera Resort or at the new Reflections- A Disney Lakeside Lodge at Walt Disney World or future DVC properties.
Once sales for the Riviera Resort begin, those who purchase a contract for that resort on the resale market will be limited to staying only at that resort.
Call me crazy but when my friend sent me the information (because I was considering buying more points but through resale) I read it as anyone who buys resale after 1/19/19 at any of the original resorts can only stay at them by exchanging their points - something similar to when a DVC person wants to exchange to use RCI. Please tell me I'm wrong...
I'm an original owner at SSR and figured I'd go resale because it's cheaper and I already have the perks as an original owner.
