I just received an email. No points chart though . Gives an estimated price range, though and when ownership will expire.

We are certainly close. They've sent out another email today. The website references "Check this page in the coming weeks for booking and Add-On details."

Strange wording though… *could*

the wording is because of use year differences - later use years will expire later in 2074 i think is the implication

Yup looks like the first semi-official confirmation of the new contract date. Given that data being a specific reference to VDH and not merely 'Aulani et al." - I also think the 217$ per point price is sticking.

Points chart, points chart, points chart pleasseeee.

I’m fairly certain that’s not how it works At least not with any of my other contracts.

Do we think the resort will open to DVC point bookings/UY in 2024?

perhaps not - I can't say I recall how they worded the grand floridian email last year that effectively had the same fine print as this one (with different prices). Someone might have that screengrab handy.

Oh hey I did find that pretty quickly. The VGF email was a firmer January 31 - still not sure what the difference in could would realistically mean regardless, I assume then that it maybe is hedging for the true opening date of the resort and first month/year for which ownership is offered.

 

[nlenguyen]

Just give us point charts!

I'm not really sure what they'll do. VGF would have suggested all years would get their 2023 points and then October / December would be delayed with pro-rated maintenance fees. I *think* that's what will occur, with everyone starting off in the 2023 use year.

A Jan 2074 expiry would imply the "last" use year would run 2073-2074", therefore the first use year is January 2023.

The trouble with starting in Jan 2024 bookings would be a Dec UY, that's a weird product to market not actually have any technical usable points without borrowing for over 20 months.

 

[elenex]

In the past for some resort openings, haven't they given prior year points to late UY and not to earlier UY?

 

[hhisc16]

Do we think VDH and VGC points charts will be the same?

Nobody knows anything yet.

Every DVC resort ends Jan 31st of it's expiration year. That's for all UY's.

As @KAT4DISNEY stated all contracts end on 1/31. My guess is they didn’t know if it would open in 2023 or 2024 hence the “early as” to give the contract the full 50 years
