That is AWESOME! I’ve poked around looking at older charts but it is very time consuming making it hard to retain the info. Having everything at one click is magnificent. Thank you.

I’m surprised at the difference in weekend point costs on older charts.

Yep, now you understand why many owners were quite upset when the weekend-weekday reallocation took place. Based on my memory, there were some members who routinely booked Sunday through Thursday with points and Friday/Saturday with the 25% DVC cash discount. We had to call MS to book anyway, so it could all be done in one phone call. Some owners had bought only enough points to cover the weeknights and found themselves short of points after the reallocation.

Excellent! I love all the tools you've developed.

Not sure if you can do anything about it but when comparing BCV and SSR the charts don't line up since BCV doesn't have standard and preferred views.

What year do you reckon they got rid of the cash discount?

They didn’t - it’s still around, requires a call to MS to inquire about availability, which is more limited now than (weekends were) then.

Thanks! That one may be tricky to change. I'm putting together a tool that allows you to more easily compare points across different resorts/rooms with the same occupancy. That may be more useful for what you're looking at.

Finally updated the dvc points vs hotel rack rates tool for 2024:

Also, I didn't realize it, but the DISname Lookup tool was still pulling from the old defunct Google sheet so that's been updated too:
https://www.dvcrofr.com/disname-lookup

And with that everything is finally migrated over to AWS and we're done pulling data from Google sheets!

Very cool! Great work with all this. Thank you for doing it.

Yes, thank you! I find myself going back to it a lot

I noticed that the 12 individual calendars on the trip planner page are from 2023, not 2024 (Jan 1 2024 is a Monday, not a Sunday, and February has 29 days in 2024, not 28). I assume that wasn't intentional since you have Easter marked as peak season in late March (2024), not April (2023).

Tremendous! Thanks.

And thanks for the heads-up on the spreadsheet from @Grumpy by Birth

The DVC vs Rack Rates tool is the best feel-good page on the internet (after the DVC splash screen showing your next trip).

Thanks made my day! It's probably the most useful page on the whole site.

The whole site is great! I love how easy it is to use the features.

It would be if it included the resorts out west….

I think i found an issue with BWV Studios. Pool/garden is coming back as same pts as Standard when it should be the same as Boardwalk view? In the Rack vs DVC page

You're right, those should have been matched up with the B/P rooms for dvc. I updated my mapping. Thanks!
