Outstanding analysis and summary. DVC may plagiarize this as their talking points for guides.After extensive consultation with my Ouija Board, Crystal Ball, and confirmed by my Magic 8-ball, here’s what I believe will happen:
Thoughts?
- DVC will put out a HUGE press release (attributed to Yvonne Chang, of course) announcing the roll-out of DVC 2.0 (my name, not theirs) soon.
- DVC 2.0 will offer the opportunity to purchase a home resort of one of the following: CFW, RIV (undeclared units), AUL (undeclared units), VDH (undeclared units), and the new Polynesian Tower (all units).
- In DVC 2.0, direct purchasers will have an 11-month home resort reservation priority, followed by a 9-month reservation priority for other accommodations in DVC 2.0, and lastly, a 7-month reservation ability at all DVC 1.0 resorts.
- DVC 2.0 contracts purchased via resale may only be used at the DVC 2.0 home resort but will still have an 11-month reservation priority.
- DVC 1.0 contracts purchased directly from DVC, and pre-2019 resale contracts, will have the ability to reserve DVC 2.0 accommodations at the 7-month window.
- DVC 1.0 resale contracts purchased in 2019 and later will have no access to DVC 2.0 accommodations.
- DVC 1.0 traditional “deeded” sales will continue under existing rules until available points in the remaining declared units are exhausted. Additional sales demand for DVC 1.0 will be met via ROFR.
- All future DVC resorts will be included in DVC 2.0
Edited to add VDH!
Your analysis assumes DVC 1.0 resale post 2019 cannot book Poly points in DVC 2.0 (i.e. Poly2 Tower). Is that correct? If so, you think DVC doesn’t care that there will be a mutiny because of Chang’s statement? I mean I don’t think they care and I still think her phrases “right now” and “part of the same resort” don’t equal “guaranteed same association.”.
