Ft. Wilderness Cabins becoming DVC?

[hglenn]

Paul just posted in the facebook group about the cabins at Ft. Wilderness are becoming DVC...

How will that work? I suppose we have to wait and see if it'll be a separate association or part of one of the existing ones?
I think I can post this here...

If the treehouses sit empty or rent for cash - why add the cabins ?

Not that one of my best disney trips wasn’t in the cabins.

I’m mixed. Hopefully RVs can still hook up.

They do need a refurb and it will connect to wilderness lodge a bit more.

Again I’m mixed

I just hope the dogs can still come and hoop Dee do and the ranch isn’t affected

Throwing up some trailers in an undesirable location to get rid of unprofitable cash stock sounds totally on brand for DVC. But...

The timing makes no sense to me. 2024? You mean when you're supposed to be selling that giant high rise building you just spent all that money on?

And when you're still holding millions of RIV and Aulani points?

Agreed that the timing is strange. Maybe explains the lack of ROFR being exercised even more. Weird.

Wonder if this means the boat route between Ft Wilderness, WL and the Contemporary will return?

From the article: "A select number of cabins are also expected to be dog-friendly."

This could be a game changer for us...and solidifies no VDH for us. Will hold on to the cash and see how this story develops.

They could be made to be 2 br - and if they have a grill per unit + golf carts

Take my money

Umm ok. Will they have resale restrictions?

 

[Nursemanit]

What if they are a part of Poly2 ? Cabins and 1-3 br

Kinda a version of Reflections?

 

[Sandisw]

It will be a new association because there are no DVC units at that property. But. I find it an interesting move…

What I find interesting is that last year, when they gave out sales info for VGF, it was shortly after that they announced the Poly tower.

Now, a new project announced after VDH sales….but still mum on what is going to happen with the tower.

My guess is these will be pet friendly accommodations, as they currently are.

The posted information says a select number of accommodation will be pet friendly.

I wouldn't get too excited. They'll have a handful, like club level rooms. I doubt they'll allow many. Or they'll charge a lot more for them.

LOL. You think they will include golf carts?

 

[ChipNdale8887]

I'm curious to see the point charts for this. 1 bedroom point charts? Will they be closer to a Saratoga springs 1 bedroom point chart or copper creek 1 bedroom or like a Riviera 1 bedroom?

 

[I Run Long]

When I first saw this, I thought, "April Fools!" But nope, we're defnitely past that date. It looks interesting and since we will never be direct owners we're out but still - it makes me think that adding to moderate resorts (I'm looking at you French Quarter), will be developed further. Who knows?

The cabins have them now so why not ?

Or it will be a larger amount- with the LVT floors it’s not hard to be pet friendly
