Resort Time to sell out?

[patm95]

Hi all. Question for my own curiosity. Traditionally, how long has it taken for a Disney resort to sell out? I'm especially interested in how long the older resorts took. OKW, Vero, ect. Has it been taking longer for resorts to sell out in recent years?

Thanks!

Unless someone has kept track of that info already, it would take some effort, but in theory, you can go to the Florida records office online and pull the deeds from DVC to new owners and see how many were sold each month. Would work for the Florida Resorts only. Keeping in mind, even after a resort is "sold out" DVC continued to take back contracts thru ROFR and resell, so it would be a best guess by volume thing.

It would be hard to compare them, as you can see from this Room Inventory Chart from the DVC Field Guide (which I love using for reference lol)... some of the Resorts, like Grand Californian, had so few rooms, it's hard to compare that selling time to the larger Resorts.

Great points. Sounds like there are a lot of variables!

I asked ChatGPT for OKW just to get a starting point, and it said that OKW sold out in about 7 years, and cited this page. https://www.dvchelp.com/page/old-key-west-resort-information-page?utm_source=chatgpt.com

You could probably get similar answers for every resort you're interested in.

As with everything involving LLMs, take the answer you're given with a grain of salt (indeed, the page that ChatGPT uses as its reference quotes an 8 year sellout).

Thank you. I often forget we have AI as a resource.

You can also just use a search engine, I googled "how long did old key west take to sell out" and got the same answer/website as above.
