Newbie here with DVC question

[Tinkerbelle24]

Hi All~
I have a quick question about DVC. I was wondering if Disney has bought land with any intent to build vacation clubs there that are not at WDW?? I am interested in this so any info helps out!! If so please let me know where they are located. Thanks a million!

Of course, you know there are two existing non-WDW DVC resorts, Hilton Head and Vero Beach.

Other locations had been planned, and land purchased in Newport Beach, CA. In fact, the resort was announced by DVC years ago. However, because sales were slow at the Hilton Head and Vero Beach resorts (in fact, Vero was intended to be a much larger resort than it is, and "extra" land was sold off), Newport was never built, and the location sold to another company (Marriott, I think).

As to whether there will ever be any non-WDW locations in the future, we really don't know at this time. A DisneyLAND location is rumored to be in the works, but no official word from DVC. WDW seems to be the most popular destination for DVC owners, and I imagine most of the future construction will be located there.

You can trade to other locations through Interval International, or rent out your points and use the proceeds to visit other destinations.

Thanks Chuck for the info. I know of those 3 places.. I wonder if there are any others. I think that they are 2 more places.. Im not to sure if Disney has bought the land yet or not but im pretty sure there are 2 other places.

A number of years ago DVC had indicated interest in building something in Colorado and had announced renovating a building in downtown NYC to sell as a DVC resort (there were even artist renderings published) but both were subsequently dropped from any activity.

I can't recall any other announcements or strong rumors besides those already mentioned.
