My impression is about a 20-30 day lag time, so I would expect that the April numbers would probably cover early March to early April. Exact dates are so hard to predict.
Unfortunately this data now becomes useless in telling us anything about Riviera's popularity. It only tells us that sales dropped off a cliff after they closed the parks, which is no surprise at all. I would expect May to be even lower until they start re-opened, and even then the numbers are going to likely remain low for the foreseeable future. How do you convince someone to buy a timeshare when closure can result in that you can't use it.
I'm mean, I'm sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but I think it's very likely that things will get opened too quickly, or another round of outbreaks will happen somewhere, and they'll have to close down again. I personally would be very unlikely to buy Direct at the moment even if I was in the market to unless Disney offered up some good incentives. Now resale is another matter, as some good bargains may be found right now I'm sure.
