    VDH Unit and Sales Tracker

    There is precedence for Disney to give points as far back as the previous calendar year. Copper Creek did not open until July 17, 2017, and the earliest Use Year to receive points was August 2016. The September, October, and December Use Years also received their initial allocation of points...

    What is the earliest Use Year that is receiving current year points at VDH? Does it start with February 2023? Or does it go as far back as June 2022?

    April 2023 Direct Sales Flat: https://dvcnews.com/dvc-program-menu/financial/financial-news/5616-disney-vacation-club-direct-sales-flat-in-april-2023

    The April data should be posted early next week. I've been out of the country the last three weeks with limited internet access for part of that time, so I'm delayed in compiling and cross checking the numbers.

    DVC direct sales very very low in Feb

    It was not a single person. There were three deeds sold to three different buyers: a 400-point deed; a 200-point deed; and a 150-point deed.

    December 2022 Direct Sales

    The 125-point VGF deed reacquired by DVD was likely not a Right-of-First-Refusal. Based on the Deed Document Tax amounts on original deed transaction and the subsequent Warranty Deed filed in December, it was reacquired for almost the same price the buyers paid for it back in March 2022. I...

    If RCID is dissolved, what happens with DVC?

    In 2021, the 11 DVC condominium associations within RCID's jurisdiction were assessed $37,582,577 in ad valorem taxes by RCID. In 2021, the condo associations were also assessed another $38,573,880 by six other taxing jurisdictions, including School (State), School (Local), Library, Orange...

    If RCID is dissolved, what happens with DVC?

    I believe one reason why Disney and the city and county governments haven't made specific comments about the legislation to dissolve RCID is that no one has actually seen the actual legislation and, more importantly, no one has had time to analyze how dissolving RCID will impact the operations...

    VGF Direct Contracts Sold

    You make a good point, assuming that overall sales remain static. If overall WDW direct sales remain at its current 12-month average of about 122,000 points a month, then VGF2 will be cannibalizing Riviera's sales, or vice versa, and neither will come close to 70,000 points a month. However, I...

    VGF Direct Contracts Sold

    VGF2's Unit 11 has roughly 889,000 to 890,000 points assigned to it. Since Unit 11 is exactly half of VGF2, the Big Pine Key building is adding roughly 1,778,000 to 1,780,000 points to the VGF condo association. To sell out in two years, the VGF resort's sales would have to average less than...

    The VGF 2 pricing thread

    FYI: Of the 101 resort studios included in this declaration, it appears that 98 will have balconies. The three studios that probably won't have balconies are located on the 5th floor, including the Tower studio on that floor.

    DVC tax system error

    Kudos to bing showei for pursuing this issue with DVC. I doubt if anyone would be receiving any credits if it hadn't been for his work. DVCNews has been posting articles about DVC property taxes for several years, including estimating the amount of over- and underestimates per point of the tax...

    Updated DVC UY distribution chart

    The charts reflect the Use Years originally designated by Disney up until April 3, 2019, but does not show the valid Use Year for those points that Disney has reacquired and resold to the general public since that date. Until April 3, 2019, Disney was adhering to the rules that all points in a...

    What's the deal with resorts being closed but DVC portion open?

    The Beach Club lobby is open, as well as the Marketplace. The walkway to the Yacht Club, as well as the Yacht Club lobby, are open. Also, the Wilderness Lodge lobby is open.

    AKV resales deed location

    drusba is correct; Residential Units 01 through 56 are located at Jambo House and Units 57A through 120C are located at Kidani Village. And also like she says, it really doesn't make much difference which building you own.

    Riviera Sales by the numbers (vs CCV) for 2019 - (December added 1/16/2020)

    I think the monthly sales data tells more about the person trying to interpret the numbers than the numbers say about sales. No one, well, at least not me, is privy to what Disney is thinking when it comes to sales. VGF sold over 226,000 points in one month in 2013 and a few months later there...

    Am I the only one underwhelmed by Riviera?

    Chances are you aren't the only one underwhelmed by the Riviera. But the chances are equally as good there are many others who are very impressed with the Riviera. Keep in mind that DVC is large enough to cater to a wide variety of tastes. Each of us can walk on to any of the 15 DVC...

    What is the current 2042 status on existing points?

    Are you sure the extension offer has not been on the table in more than 10 years? Over the last few years I have seen a handful of deed transactions where OKW owners paid Disney to extend their ownership to 2057. Admittedly, its been a small number of such transactions, but somehow, some way...

    Riviera Sales by the numbers (vs CCV) for 2019 - (December added 1/16/2020)

    True, when fully declared the Riviera will be all DVC with no hotel rooms. However, Disney controls all inventory that is undeclared, as well as all declared inventory that is unsold to the general public. Currently, 71% of the resort is undeclared, which means that Disney can do what it wants...

    Riviera Sales by the numbers (vs CCV) for 2019 - (December added 1/16/2020)

    My numbers are somewhat different than yours regarding the Polynesian. It has 3.9 million points and it took about 36 months to sell out. It averaged about 107,000 points a month during its marketing period. Copper Creek sold its 3.3 million points in about 27 months. Its still too early for...
