You might not put a whole lot of weight on VDH, but it’s a pretty big deal in the DVC world, no? I think the general consensus is that it will have the restrictions, and it’s a good bet that it will be relatively popular. The only way DVC members will be able to book it is with direct points.I don't put a whole lot of weight on VDH. It's really a unicorn in the DVC landscape. DVC is an Orlando-based volume business. If they decide that restrictions are hurting sales in the swamp, I don't think they'll make a permanent decision to keep them due to VDH.
I certainly think it's possible that they keep them. I'd probably even say better than 50%. But I don't think VDH is the reason.
That’s where the restrictions are effective. At least it worked on me. I bought direct at VGF2 and Copper Creek so I could stay at Riviera, VDH, probably Poly2, and whatever other cool new projects pop up in the future. And the more of them there are, the more effective the restrictions will be.
Also, I’m not sure DVC is unhappy with Riviera sales. But if they are, there are plenty of other reasons to account for them, namely lack of theming and problematic location. Personally I love it, but it’s a polarizing resort and many don’t.
