Riviera went on Sale March 2019 and opened in December 2019. I purchased in June and DVC i mmediately gave me a new membership number and 2019 points. The points could not be used until the resort opened, but they showed in my account immediately. I had already been a member, but it appeared...

I noticed that no Jambo House DVC rooms are bookable until Jan 2, 2021.

I didn't stay at Riviera, but did get a chance to visit twice during it's inaugural week. A few observations - - While the resort looks big when approaching, it is really a quick walk to all points around the resort. I wouldn't worry about room location based on distance to a particular...

Two of us had breakfast there today at 9 AM. We left at 10, but could have been out in 45 minutes if needed. It was an excellent experience by the way. The food and service were definitely top notch. My kids are grown and we dont usually care for characters, but I will definitely return in 2020.

Bing, You bring up a good question about the desired outcome. From my point of view, there are only two equitable outcomes: Either include DRR (and potentially future resorts) as part of the Club, or not. Every Club member should have access to all resorts in the Club. Alternatively, if...

Their actions affect every single DVC owner. Only one owner is positively impacted by Disney's actions. All others are negatively impacted.

Thank you!

The 1/19/19 announcement is no longer on my DVC 'Notifications' page. Do notifications get rolled off to some other area on the site or expire?

I did agree with Karen that Disney did have the right to include/exclude any resort at any time. I further shared my opinion that in this case, that is not what they are doing here, but rather they were including Riviera in the Club and excluding some of the Club owners from accessing it. She...

I had an appointment with Yvonne several weeks ago. However, Yvonne did not make the appointment, and instead I spoke with Karen about the changes. I specifically asked if they were going to provide restitution for 1) Direct owners as of 1/19 since they effectively diverted some of the value...

"I don't think that there is any easy way to block access to the reservation component" They own the reservation system. They decide who they want to favor and not favor. They simply asked their attorneys to change the terms to the 225,000+ existing valid customer contracts. Doesn't seem too...

I am confused by her comment. What was the 'official' reason for the points change, if it was not a cash grab?

Agreed. I spoke with several people about this (I live in a family-oriented, Celebration-like community 86 miles from the MK, I can't spit without hitting a fellow club member). All have told me that they read the restrictions and dont believe that it will affect them at all since they bought...

My guess is that the security lines will be at Gondola boarding , like the monorails are now. From construction photos, it appears that they will be adding more entrance lines. I predict other then the Fish & Chips store, which will see a tremendous increase in traffic, all should flow smoothly.

I've done some 'back of napkin' math on the value of that 'candy' in 5- 10 years. It's staggering. (And likely the motivation for this move.) And guess what?Most of it comes from current direct owners, not the resale owners (although the additional breakage that will occur due to the imbalance...

Does it matter? It is clearly about profits and likely, individual bonuses tied to the direct sales. All owners except one lose big, big time. I have come to the conclusion that they only care about making as much money as possible in 2019 and nothing else right now. Ethics and their...

Sorry. I decided to delete my original comments. Glad you were able to speak to someone.

I am I the same boat. Deed recorded on 3/20. Contract showed on my account 3/28. I added on with a different use year, so it is a new contract attached to my account. I didn't have to make any calls (yet).

Current thought on this situation..... I don't think the restrictions will reduce the resale value of the L14 resorts, absent a slight blip perhaps right now as people are trying to evaluate the impact the changes on their own situations. DVC - at least the L14, is a huge value over time...
