Upcomming announcement speculation thread

[jmchone0830]

Well the last webcast with "special" pricing was nothing to write home about. Seen a lot better deals in the past.

Please forgive my ignorant question but where are the webcasts posted? On the dvcmembers site? We're in the process of purchasing so do not have access to the dvcmembers site yet.

Is anybody at WDW now? Please ask a bus driver.

Okay, I am still reading the thread but had to respond to this one! I laughed so loud at work I drew attention to myself! Thank you!

You can only ask a bus driver if you have the decoder ring to gone along with the message.

Although the pessimist in me agrees with you

Okay, finished reading the thread now.

If Aulani is now approved for sale I would venture to bet that the announcement will be a launch of the DVC sales campaign for the Aulani property with special perks for the original purchasers of the property, similiar to what they did for BLT.

Along with the announcement, there will probably be incentives for the other DVC properties that are not sold out (or close to being sold out), there are several now... BLT, AKV, Treehouse, Grand Californian, etc....

1. There has not been a real good incentive campagin in some time now.
2. We are approaching the Spring Break and Summer Season when people are planning vacations and would consider purchasing DVC.
3. The economy is still very weak and DVC has quite a few properties out there lots of 'room' for selling, and now Aulani being added to the mix.

Time to move inventory....

We bought BLT during the webcast last summer and got a great price. We would probably add on if the price was right. ($120 per point is waaayyyy off the mark.) So, if the quip from the Disney Management team about 'we listened to our members' has anything to do with pricing, hopefully we are in for a long overdue and GREAT incentive!

For what it's worth, I just got off the phone with my guide asking about an add on to AKV. He said that he "knows that the $15 per point incentive for AKV is getting smaller on March 7". Other than that, he doesn't know what's going on.

I did a small add-on @ VWL today; my guide said things about Aulani would probably be coming, but not till later in the year. She also said the sold out resorts (nothing mentioned either way about others; I was specifically asking VWL but mentioned curiosity in HI earlier) would probably have a price increase later this week of 'a few dollars', so I called at a good time!

We'll see what actually comes out, and hopefully it isn't just "Planners have been mailed!"

Waiting...and waiting...

My old contract for just BLT I already received, but then I changed it and I am waiting for my new FedEx box.... I hope that if there is a new incentive it will be good for me.

 

[letitsnow]

i hope the new announcement will allow me to buy in to vgc with 100 points instead of 160...wishful thinking...

Our guide has never given us any info for upcoming incentives. In fact, he knew we were at WDW in Dec, and after we get home I read on the Dis about special offers that were good only if you were on property. He could have at least called us to let us know what we could get if we stayed around 1 day longer. (wouldn't have been a problem since we drove this trip)

In the past, we've asked him about rumors, and he replies that he doesn't know. We do hear from him on current offers, but he would never hint at anything that wasn't out there yet.

I would love to see incentives for smaller add ons. I would love to see DVC discounts for all park tickets, not just the AP's. I wish the discount could be extended to family members. We as grandparents want to take our grandchildren, but can't get discounts for their tickets. I would like to see a discounted DP for DVC. But the one big thing that wouldn't cost DVC or Disney any money.............DVC Fastpasses. I suggested this one to our guide over 2 yrs ago.

I won't be holding my breath for any of these, though. I'm afraid we're all going to be disappointed at the "big" announcement.

maybe online booking????

Online point sales

..how come ther is never any speculation that includes VGC?

I hope for some big VGC incentives. Those VGC points are like new cars taking up space at a car dealership, and the new models are coming.

Funny you should say new models coming. We've been hearing speculation about expansions at Disneyland, certain property Disney owns in Anaheim near the resort, Anaheim Gardenwalk going up for sale at auction etc. The suits were recently over at Disneyland Resort taking a tour, and there has been speculation about another DVC at DLR again.
I really doubt this is the big announcement everyone is waiting for, but you never know.

I agree....BRING ON THOSE BIG VGC DISCOUNTS!

I agree....BRING ON THOSE BIG VGC DISCOUNTS!

(Nooooooo! No more good discounts for VGC.... I told DH we're not buying anymore DVC for a really, really, really loooooong time. )

So, we've been speculatin' for 5 days (seems longer )---anyone got anything definitive?

I'm thinking it's going to be something about the start of Hawaii sales and maybe online booking. Hawaii sales would likely bring some other sales incentives as well, so I'd expect that to also be part of it.
