PVB Tower Charts, Sales Date and more!!!

FW requires having all the points in one single contract, correct?
Or will still be possible to break it? - say a 300 pts into three 100 points contracts
Thanks

Will someone share the current member incentives tomorrow? Or will they just be posted? We’re awaiting our membership to be activated and I’m so excited to see if we’re going to be buying our direct contract this month

The FW points will be in one contract, but if you add on more, those can be their own.

We checked into this when we bought VDH and we couldn't split into smaller contracts so we didn't do the fixed week. You also had to buy I believe 10% more than we needed.

I'm 1000% positive one of our friends here will post it. DVCFan.com and dvcnews.com will have it up sometime in the morning.

Like Sandi said, you can split up points between fixed weeks and extra contracts, but can't split up within a fixed week,

For example,
We got 2 fixed weeks for RIV and some extra points so we have 3 total contracts totaling 300 points. We have a 135 point FW, 114 point FW, and a 51 point extra contract

Also, the extra contract also has to meet the minimum contract size. For PVB, it's a minimum 25 points and at RIV its 50 points.

I am likely out (for now). The small amount of 1 bedroom villas, and projected minimal number of standard view 1 bedrooms, are my biggest hang ups. I can already get a studio quite easily at the 7 month mark, but the thought of walking a 1 bedroom at the 11 month mark is not appealing to me.

No. But they can convince me with “I can’t pass this” incentives. Not worried about it because I know it won’t happen.

This is exactly where I am, too, on both accounts.

 

[NicoleBold]

I might wait to buy until 10/5 so I am still in a 10 day window at booking.

I have 110 resale poly points (already have 200 direct at VGF). My motivation for adding on is to switch my Feb 2025 trip from two studios to a 2br. With borrowing I still need a few extra points to make this happen, so I’m looking at a few options.

A) just enough 25 add on!
B) 50-100 so I can also extend the vacation one additional night.
C) two be fixed week 7 to be sure I get it, I’m worried there won’t be enough declared 2br inventory for me to book!

C is actually not a real possibility.
Still debating on the right number of points, and if I fail at getting that 2br, I’ll either back out or just add the extra night or two in the studios and enjoy my trip anyway.

Anyone pulling the trigger tomorrow on PIT? We were almost ready to, but seeing the point charts and 1BR/2BR numbers, makes us take a wait and see attitude. Factors for us will be:
How fast is it selling? VGF sold fast, but others not so much.
Incentives: We got a killer deal on BLT a while back.
What it actually looks like and the "vibe". We are going to Flower and Garden in May and will drop in for a visit.
Any other thoughts or concerns folks have?

IMO it's worth waiting... even if it sells 2-3x faster than Riviera, it will probably still take 2+ years to sell out. My main reasons:

1) If I were Disney, I'd price it high at first to capture all those willing to pay the most. PVB has a highly dedicated fan base, and I suspect they would want to experiment and see how many are willing to pay close to the list price. Once that pool of potential buyers runs out, they may have to offer better incentives. Economics 101 - demand curves generally slope down (less demand at high prices, more demand at lower prices).

2) I strongly prefer MB over current year points. With a new resort, I'd also want to wait until after the start of my desired use year, to get MB and not feel like I'm buying a totally stripped contract. If they offer MB now on 2025 points and my desired use year was June, I wouldn't want to take MB now and have to borrow June 2026 points.

3) We'll probably do 1-2 DCL cruises in the next 18 months. Sometimes they have extra incentives to buy on a cruise.

4) Resale at PVB is a viable option, so we'll see where those prices go now that there is a comparable resort with no resale restrictions and full member benefits competing for the same buyers.

The fixed week chart is usually 10% higher than the standard point chart for the week, but there are examples where the charts are off if you know where to look, i.e. I believe week 7 at the Poly for a standard view tower studio actually requires less points for the FW compared to the current points chart. Week 7 at Riviera was also this way (my FW cost me 153 points, but it would normally cost 155 points to book that week with the current chart).

I need to print this and walk around with it tomorrow morning plus what @Tatebeck said.

I have enough points and DVC-Y status. I can’t stress about not getting a 1BR at 11 months for Feb or Spring break.

We can hold each other accountable to this.

 

[NY Pirate Princess]

We are on the fence. I want 150 points at the poly and we are not blue card DVC-Y. It all depends on how I feel tomorrow morning I suppose!

Not like tomorrow is out last shot at the poly forever. Repeats to self. Over and over.

Definitely not tomorrow. I REALLY want to love PIT enough to buy direct there. Probably the last chance to buy unrestricted direct points, and we love Poly and what we've seen of the tower. But the point charts and room inventory are pretty much on the "worst case scenario" side of what I was hoping for

We will wait to see what booking is like in 18-24 months. I have a feeling the standard view villas will go lightning fast given all the existing Poly points, and being shut out of the rooms I want at 11 months at a home resort is hard pass for me. I'm not big on paying extra for view, the view premiums for PIT are insane IMO.

If I'm wrong and it's not hard to book SV at 11 mos, then I'll consider direct if the incentives are there, otherwise resale, which should be back at normal prices by then.

Once it was established it would be same association, we pulled the trigger on RIV during the last incentive cycle, no regrets.

I believe there's a small charge for this as well. As I recall it's $250 split. That may have changed. But a good deal if you want to split between kids eventually or if you ever need to partially sell off your points.

I made my appointment for the 6th for the same reason. Right now my plan is to buy just enough direct to get me over the hump for a couple key times of the year that I would like to book Poly but my resale points are going to come up short. However… if I come away from the 15th completely empty handed, I’m not going to feel terribly motivated to write that check. At that point, I’ll probably cancel and regroup.

Yes we ended up buying 306 points and split them between 4 contracts 80, 80, 76 and 70. We have 3 kids and deeded them as our trust. I think is waa $250 per contract.

Does anyone know if booking will be online on the 15th or if you will need to call in?
