I felt a great disturbance in the force, as if owners of millions of Riviera points suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
It’s a done deal. It’s been declared into the same association. It will not have resale restrictions and existing poly owners will be able to book the tower. I would think this will absolutely kill Riviera direct sales, but Grand Floridian didn’t so who knows. Most people aren’t thinking ahead to resale value when they’re purchasing a timeshare.
It always seemed obvious to me that balancing out the most weirdly unbalanced association (studios and bungalows only) in the whole of DVC, to “finish” PVB and end up with a highly attractive resort with a mix of room types that would sell like hot cakes was pretty much a no-brainer. And that the single opposing argument of “but what about the integrity of the resale restrictions?” was not exactly a compelling one, to say the least.
