Disney has published new summer incentives, with “new resort” offers available only for Riviera and Aulani, Copper Creek appears to have finally hit its sales target. The Aulani ones are significantly better than the Riviera ones. Incentives are good through 9/8, with the bonus incentive only good through 8/4.

There are also sold out resort offers for SSR, OKW, AKV, and PVB.

If they really wanted for Aulani to sell out they should sell it for $140 pp. at that price it would probably take 2 more years to sell out. Heck they have been selling it for 9-10 years already, what’s another 10-20.
 


Disney has published new summer incentives, only for Riviera and Aulani. The Aulani ones are significantly better than the Riviera ones. Incentives are good through 9/8, with the bonus incentive only good through 8/4.

It will be interesting to see if they still have sold out resort incentives; if you hear anything, let us know.

Lots of detail on another forum....
OKW,SSR, PVB and AKV now have incentives starting at $6pp at 150 points

All other resorts no incentives including CCV

Is that only for new members? I don't see anything about it on the add on page.
 
VGF resale is now selling over the cost of RIV. I thought it would happen, but not this fast.

CMDR Thor--are you an existing DVC member? If so you would be seeing add on discounts rather than new member ones.

I'd be surprised if a non-DVC member could get such a significant increased discount simply by having a "my disney experience" login ID. It does make sense to me that add-ons would be cheaper than initial buys, since a 100 point minimum for a new buyer is easy to justify given the point chart, whereas it is harder to justify buying so many points (and paying dues on them) when you are already have a DVC membership.

**Edited to add, I just noticed the minimum for incentives in CmdrThor's chart is 100 points, whereas it is 150 points for the "general public" chart. That makes me suspect the better incentives are definitely only add-on, since 150 was required for new purchaser direct incentives prior to May 13.
 
I am not a fan of these "Act Fast" promotions. With Disney now doing this a couple times in a row, why would anyone who did any research buy in the last month of the current promotion knowing there may be another "Act Fast" promotion around the corner which will possibly bring a better deal? It seems Disney is playing with the pricing more than they typically have. I would feel cheated if I bought in that last month and then Disney had a much better "Act Fast" promotion come along. Makes me feel even better I just bought Riviera resale.

Many who were thinking recently may have simply agreed in the past few days, knowing they could get the new incentives if they were better, as long as they were in the 10 day period.

I have done that in the past.

Pricing is the only thing they have to play with. They have no new construction. They don't even have any Reflections concept art to pitch. It's just baking cookies in the RIV GV again. The only thing that changed is the price. Act now! Special price!

The DL Tower marketing is going to be crazy, it's all they have going on right now.
 
Now I'm really mad. No one offered me a cookie when I looked at the GV.

I'd send you a link to the photo shoot baking cookies there a billion years ago we've all seen, if the whole website weren't down again.
 
So just to be clear, the new incentive for sold out resorts (e.g. SSR) is $2 less PP at 150 points than the last one ($6 pp vs. $8 pp.)
 
Many who were thinking recently may have simply agreed in the past few days, knowing they could get the new incentives if they were better, as long as they were in the 10 day period.

I have done that in the past.
OK... so, I'm within the 10 day period on Riviera, and the new incentive is double what I was offered. Do I just call my guide and ask what they'll do for me? Do I have to actually cancel and repurchase?

Thanks.
