VDH Unit and Sales Tracker

Yeah, it was at roughly $42pp off before MB last round for 200 points.

But $208pp for 100 points isn’t terrible. <ahem PVB incentives>
Plus MB at VDH. I stopped following along so not even sure if yes MB at poly or still no MB at Poly. I hope this price point at 100 pts helps sell to more people
 
Is there something in here with updated numbers on how many of each room type have been declared? More curious than anything.
 
How long after a room gets declared does it go into inventory for booking?

Are we anywhere near a new declaration? Or is that not something that can be predicted?

No one really knows when they load new inventory after it’s discovered and reported that another declaration has occurred.

Sometimes you can tell when looking at the availability. But, DVD declared based on sales.

It's often the other way around: the room is added to inventory for future booking dates based on forecasted sales and declarations, months (usually 11) before the formal declaration. Then, later, the formal declaration roughly coincides with the date where expanded inventory was.

Totally hypothetically (i'm even going to use dates that don't exist):
  • On March 30th of year N, the inventory made available for booking 11m out on February 30th, N+1 is 25 rooms in a category.
    • Prior days have been 25, for some time.
  • The next day, on March 31st of year N, the inventory made available for February 31st, N+1 is increased to 30 rooms in a category.
    • Future dates are also 30, for some time.
  • Those 30 rooms are booked by members in the following days/weeks/months.
  • Around February 31st of year N+1, the official declaration paperwork is filed for those 5 rooms.
Said another way, if working backwards from declaration paperwork, it's often the case that the rooms that were added to inventory by the declaration were actually added to 'future inventory' 11 months ago.

It's very uncommon these days for there to be a mass inventory addition due to a declaration. It's only when their forecasting gets it wrong on the low-side, and they are very conservative (on the high-side) with their forecasts from what I can see.

I haven't been keeping up with 'future inventory' levels at VDH, so I don't know if we're close to a new declaration or not. Even if I were closely monitoring, there are signs that they did over-forecast and actually reduced bookable inventory at least once since opening.

Thanks. I was trying to size up my chances of getting my waitlist to come through for MM on 02/03. Maybe I should just buy a lottery ticket 🤣
