I asked our guide last fall about the DVC SA question…. She was very honest about it…
She said after VB was hit by 2-3 hurricanes in one year (2003?) Disney decided that they were going to pass a Special Assessment. They briefed the DVC SAs and team about this. It was going to be a modest amount - maybe $500 or so per customer. She said, following the meeting, no sooner had she returned to her desk that she received a notice that the company had decided NOT to apply the SA.
She then also pointed out that, that’s how Disney “had” operated in the past, but you never know what they may decide to do now or in the future…. I sort of read the comment as being about Chapek and the (then) current leadership team’s nickel and dimming ways….
