I tend to agree here - in my mind, a significantly lower price than $250 is the only reason for Disney to have hit pause on selling VGF1 points direct. The roughly year or so of no sales will take some of the sting out of it for owners who bought for $250/pt since they will have gotten 1-2 years of use by the time VGF2 starts selling.Nah, vgf will be aligned to the recent boardwalk sales and incentives
anyone hoping for higher prices are already vgf owners and in full freak out mode. Disney is going to have a hard enough time selling 2 million points at $200, why would anyone think they go into the $270s. Again comes from current owners of vgf worried about their own investments

It's still possible that the lawyers play games between VGF1 and 2. No one has actually seen the documentation. That would be a good thing for VGF1 pricing, maybe
I have suspected that we may get a shock and DVC have wrangled a way to introduce restrictions. I cannot fathom how they can possible sell a restricted and unrestricted product at the same time. Either Riviera's restrictions are brought into line with VGF2 or vice versa. DVC is about to get even more complicated for the unsuspecting buyer if not. I can't see how Riviera becomes an attractive product in comparison to an unrestricted VGF2 which seems that DVC would be cutting off their nose to spite their face.

Not a VGF owner and they don't need to rush VGF at all.
Draw people in with VGF and if it's too expensive push RIV or others. They just don't need the money that bad.
We likely will see another price increase across the board even by the time VGF launches.
dis will have street projections for sales. Real estate like any commodity has a shelf life And is a liability on the books. By that logic they could set each point at $1000 and just wait for the buyer. However the longer it sits the less money dis makes
Basic Economics are in play here governed by supply and demand. Disney will have two resorts selling in wdw plus one in Hawaii. Investors won’t tolerate poor sales. Yes dis will extract as much value they can, but they also want to sell and for each sale that equates in park spend which is sure worth more than a couple extra bucks per point
I agree but I think a modestly higher price on VGF vs RIV will actually help RIV sales. Instead, you are seeing OKW as one of the best selling products now a days. Why... those who think RIV is too high of a price are dropping to a lower cost alternative. I think Disney is counting on a simlar thing with RIV and having a High (VGF, DLT) Middle (RIV) and Low (AUL, OKW) model for sales
By that logic they could set each point at $1000
The numbers for OKW support it was more current owners adding on and not new buyers who went to OKW in the summer as the number of contracts sold vs points didn’t average to the 150 needed. And we know the restrictions are a big reason for that.
I do agree it won’t be the same as RIV but just can’t see it being as huge a difference as some imagine.
The new VGF is all studios and is going to make the resort very studio heavy. So, I think it’s going to have to priced to offset that.
I also have shared I think the BWV incentives is a hint that they are trying to adjust sales strategies after the pandemic and will use it to guide what they do moving forward.
Ah I see you subscribed to reductio ad absurdum.
By your logic they should price it $1.... See how I did that?
DVC is set to have at least 1 more price increase before VGF launch so having VGF launch at $250+ isn't really out of the ordinary compared to resort pricing.
I think it's more likely to be $275 than the $200-$205 that people have kept pushing as then it would be priced under RIV which makes little sense.
