I believe the way the email is phrased that stated this increase is it’s the sold out price of the resort. Recent resorts have seen their prices drastically increase once it sold out. This pretty much puts it inline with the other MK resorts (less BRV). It says to add on at the 188 before the resort sells out. So that was my basis for this assumption. Plus June 1 is projected for when CCV is expected to be sold out.
That is the objective of the sold-out price. Disney doesn't want to be actively selling it but actively selling the current build, in this case Riviera. Same as Beach Club Villas at 225 right now is crazy mostly because they didn't want it to be standing at it's old price against Riviera.
I think the idea that poster might have been getting at is that it prices CCV closer to those resorts (perhaps they didn't realize this was the sold out price or they feel those resorts are worth much more than CCV). Though I don't think it will effect it much this price movement isn't because DVC valuing all resorts to a higher degree. However, this is to push CCV higher than Riviera (since this is the price CCV will be at once it is fully sold out and I suspect Riviera closer to 190). It's really meant to be a deterrent from people wanting to buy CCV over Riviera once CCV is sold out and Riviera is live.
def "magic pixie dust."
