I dont think I would call the current incentives at SSR a firesale. A 200 points purchase would cost you $41,000 before discounts and $34,500 after and only save you $6,500 or $172.5 per point.Do you think they are trying to sell VGF ASAP, then have monthly “fire sales” of “sold out” properties? We saw one for AKL not too long ago and SSR is currently occurring. Could BLT or CCV be next to fill in the gap between VGF selling out and Cabins/Poly2 coming online?
I wonder if its because you are SELLING your points back to Disney. When selling and making a profit you need to pay tax' and for non U.S citizens that would mean getting an ITIN number reporting to IRS and a whole lot of paperwork.Interesting. Still feeling bummed that the magical beginnings promotion isn't available to anyone outside of the U.S. Otherwise I'd be very tempted to add on.
Yes, I'm sure it's something like that. Although, when we originally purchased I feel like we had extra paper work and had to pay state or federal sales taxes on our deed? It wasn't that big of a deal. Not sure, would have to look.I wonder if its because you are SELLING your points back to Disney.

Despite popular DIS opinion- VGF was not significantly cheaper to explain the massive difference- Restrictions are hurting salesIs Riviera selling out slower than other big resorts historically, or is it pretty much on the same track? It seems like it started forever ago and it's only a little over half sold.
This opinion ignores all of the other variables that can impact a purchase decision and is also short on any actual evidence to suggest that it is solely the resale restrictions that are the difference.Despite popular DIS opinion- VGF was not significantly cheaper to explain the massive difference- Restrictions are hurting sales
At least these numbers a start to move in the right directions re:earnings call
Back in 2009-2010 (AKV Kidani, SSR THV, and BLT all opened 2009), guides complained about 3 WDW resorts. Exactly as you wrote, 2 options is their ideal number. One priced higher and one more economical choice. They have limited time to set the hook before the family is tired of talking and wants to go to the parks.Guess its better to have 2 options at WDW than 3. 3 options can be one too many and the sales risk to cannibalizing on eachother.
I will say the same about your opinionThis opinion ignores all of the other variables that can impact a purchase decision and is also short on any actual evidence to suggest that it is solely the resale restrictions that are the difference.
Historically DVC resorts sell out in 2-2.5 years at least that has been the trend for the newer resorts except Rivera so it's definitely way behind the trend.Is Riviera selling out slower than other big resorts historically, or is it pretty much on the same track?
