Wow did you guys see the rumor that Disney is raising direct prices on sold out resorts by $50 each! If that's true that's nuts. Guess that's one way to try to force people into Rivera.

Where do you see this “rumor”?

 

[SG131]

My thoughts exactly. Where did you come across this rumour?

I'd say this bolsters the idea that sales are not going so well but even sales of sold out resorts are sales; why would they forego go those sales? I guess they're assuming more people who are on wait lists but don't want to be totally ripped off, will buy riviera rather than get the resort they want at resale. Generally doesn't sound good from a sales standpoint because this would essentially be a price decrease for Riv disguised as a price increase for all others.

Would be an interesting effect on the resale market. Their strategy may be to funnel demand to resale to bring resale prices closer to that of Riv. The problem i see with that is with these new prices, they are clearly banking on demand for direct sold out resorts will disappear; if that is so why would they ever rofr a contract that is sold resale? You'd think that would counter the increased demand because that does set somewhat of a pricing floor.

Interesting no matter what happens.

Pete heard the rumor and had an article written for his website.

This would make sense as to why we've seen some shifts in Disney's ROFR process. They've let some low BLT slide through which inspired my low offer. Maybe they aren't buying back as much because they don't plan on selling as much. I don't think this is the right long term solution to fix the problem they are having with Rivera.

Oh boy mine was sent in the next day after yours, the 9th, I hope I find out tomorrow - I am bugging out!! Obsessively checking my email.

 

[JereMary]

I'm hitting the three week mark, too, and keep checking my email like a crazy person. Can't wait for this process to be over. After being ROFR'd twice, I've been doing this since July.

Pixie dust for you. It took 3 times for us too, but worked out great, as our 3rd contract was the best deal!

DVC resale market is also reporting rumors of price increases, but a much more reasonable $5 to $20 increase range.

SSR $5 increase
OKW. $9 increase
GC $20 increase
All other sold out resorts...$10 increase

Again, rumors until Disney actually does it

I had to make a new section on the chart just for you ! Congrats on being the first resale Riviera buyer that I've "met"! We are excited to try it out in February.

 

[pangyal]

Thread has been updated! So sad to have had to come back to reality. I love our DVC! This thread always cheers me up when I see all of the people who have joined the DVC "family" with their points and can start being excited about vacations too.

You held out longer than I thought you'd be able to.

Not a big deal but the Riviera abbreviation DVC uses is RVA not RIV.
