When do you think Disney will finally make an anouncement?

[Stickytutu]

We are thinking about buying DVC But, I am trying to figure out if I should wait a month or two before buying. We would love AKL, it our faviorite place to stay. And we would wait if there was an announcement of a new DCV. How soon do you think an announcement might be made?

October 1st.

I think they'll announce it on the '06 Members Cruise. That begins Oct. 22nd.

October is when they will announce it officially.....But presales probably will not start until March or April of 07 and it is going to be the Contemp....not AKL

You know what they say about speculation in the real estate market...

Anyway, regardless of the next DVC, it may be years before it is open. If you want DVC, I'd suggest buying now at today's prices. You can always add-on through some type of incentive on the next DVC resort. I wouldn't be surprised if they open those sales to existing members first....

What do they say? and who are they?

I think it would make a lot of sense to open up the sales of whichever new DVC they open..To existing members first..It would keep the sales going at SSR even make them stronger... and they will probably sell out everything a lot sooner if they did it that way.

I think they are going to announce both CR and AKL at the sametime on the Member Cruise

Or during the October Press Event ... or both ...

What is "the October press event"?

 

[cdpa4d]

Disney usually hosts a press event each quarter to announce new attractions, or any new Disney related news. The last one was in New York in which they announced their new year long celebration: "A Year of a Million Dreams".

I will guess the next one will be held at EPCOT where they will announce the new DVC(s) and also talk about the opening of the new Nemo attraction and the opening date for the new Nemo show in AK. They may also mention Laughing Floor Comedy Club dates and the new Midway Mania attraction at MGM where Millionaire is currently housed. Who knows, they may even announce a new celebration for EPCOTs 25th anniversary!

IMO, sales at any new WDW DVC resort won't begin until either SSR sells out or the new resort is ready to open. Whichever comes first. But that could easily be 2 years from now.

 

[CarolA]

Keep in mind that prices could (and probably will) go up at least a few times between now and the next resort. (Especially if any of these rumors are true since it appears CR will be a license for Disney to print money!)

 

[byoung]

I think SSR needs to be almost if not sold out before an anouncement will be made.

(Especially if any of these rumors are true since it appears CR will be a license for Disney to print money!)

I thought they did that already.

I do know they were doing presales of BCV and still had inventory left at VWL because when we bought in December, 2001 we were given a choice of the two. Our guide told us they had about a month or two inventory left at VWL, but, if we wanted BCV we could do a presale there, but, would not be able to use our points at BCV until later the next year. At that point, the models at the BW were still decorated like VWL.

i will agree with some of the other people here being in oct. oct 1 is the start of the fiscal year.

We also were given the choice of two DVC's when we bought. Both OKW and BW were selling at the same time, so maybe we won't have to wait until SSR is sold out before the next one is offered!
