Total Resort Point Question

I am wondering how Disney determines the total points they can sell for a given DVC resort.

Reading the offering statement, it appears they allow every vacation villa to be determined available for 51 out of 52 weeks a year.

Does this mean they can total all the points for a given villa type for 51 weeks, times that by the number of villas by that type, add all the villa types together, and that is the total number of points they can sell?

For instance, they would take a preferred studio - add all the points from the point chart for 51 weeks for that type - times that by the number of preferred studios - and that would give them the total points they could sell for that type? Do this for very type of room, total all of them together, and that is the resort total?

If this was the process, given there are different point costs for different times of the year - what single week is excluded from this calc? Do they just average the pt per night or do they exclude a low point week in this calc?

Frankly, I have no idea why I got "stuck in" trying to calc this. :-)

It just became a quest for me to calculate the total number of points for the Riviera.

Early on, by my estimate, they are going to sell about 6.5M pts for the Riviera. This is just based on the number of points they estimated for the original 69 villas they released already and multiplying that by the eventual 341 villas at the resort. However, I have no idea if the mix of types in the original 69 perfectly scale to the 341.

So, I went to check it using the point chart and realized I had no idea how they do this.

However, given this directly affects availability within the system, I imagine there is some type of process they must follow to sell a timeshare and make it fair to the owners dictated by Florida or whomever governs timeshares within Disney.

I would avoid following down this rabbit hole of a thread, unless you are interested but it is very protective. It was members (myself included) were trying to figure out how the resale restrictions were crafted into DVC.

As for how it is determined it’s based off a base calendar with the minimum number of weekends and weekdays, which I don’t think really any owners have had the chance to see. Though a more detailed write up is in the documents provided at the link below, not sure 100% it was the method they used at all resorts but at least what they used for OKW I believe. As for the 51 weeks they are required to sell 1 less week for each Unit so that there is capacity for repairs and maintenance and then the developer owns at minimum 2% of the 51 week points.

Also did you buy Riviera? I’m considering a small add-on for the Epcot/HS access.
