Same with us. We cancelled our early August DVC stay. Had plans to buy APs for all 5 of us and go this winter along with next Summer. Instead likely going to sell one of our contracts and just bank the other points. Will see when how things look by next Summer. We aren't interested in...

@yulilin3 u made my year educating me about the ignore button. That makes reading this thread so much better. :D I'm on Board of a local Y. Was incredible to see the varying opinions about when to reopen it at meeting today. There is just so many unknowns at this point. And we're a small...

No I don't know that. Possible yes, likely? That's only speculation. I think it is much more widespread than we know as Stanford study suggests. Bringing this back to Disney specifically I feel like some want to hold them responsible for any potential cases that might result from them...

I won't disagree that chances may be higher, but you have stated multiple times as fact that relaxing social distancing will create a second wave. My point is nobody knows if that is really true. The point of lockdown was to flatten the curve so hospitals were not overwhelmed, not end the...

Love how some posters spout this idea of the impending 2nd wave as absolute fact. The reality is nobody knows. It is very likely people were thinking SARs would have a second wave or resurgence, I did. The only thing that is clear we don't know exactly. Science has ideas and those may very...

This exact idea was floated by our local ESPN radio show on March 31st. It was a good listen as they were discussing the players doing normal Disney stuff in between games:D. It seems like games occurring in one location is gaining steam across several leagues, but I wonder how that revenue...

This is absolutely the case for our local hospital. They were forced to cancel all elective surgeries and sick patients were routed to their free standing clinics for initial screening depending on symptoms. The plan was to save all available resources at main facility for the pandemic. Our...

I don't disagree with your thoughts. But until a few months ago I wouldn't have thought they could (or would) have added a new resort to the club with these kind of restrictions. I also wonder about the regulator approval. DVCMC was quick to point out that all this was acceptable because the...

I was talking more about the possibility of excluding a resort in the near future. I threw out the scenario that maybe they could keep SS from trading into any other resort in 5 years because resale was so cheap there it was hurting direct sales at the new locations. The person I talked with...

So if next time they decide your resort is no longer eligible to stay at any other resorts. They confirmed when I talked with them that theoretically could be an option, but they couldn't see exercising it. Would you care then? I get that not everyone is concerned about this issue. I have no...

Interesting I had just looked there yesterday for first time in a while and notice that, but you are right today that notification is gone. My guess is same they just got tired of advertising it.

That is very interesting. As I posted before I also had to speak with Karen because Yvonne was unavailable. She explicitly said that Riviera was part of DVC (I obviously knew the answer but wanted to hear it from her). I asked why they didn't go the route of DVC2 and keep any new resorts...

I have seen this position in many various forms brought up in response to several recent Disney changes. Yes TWDC is obviously a corporation just like any other and the management certainly has a responsibility to maximize their shareholders earnings. However, the shareholders should also hold...

I agree and to some extent I think DVD is relying on the fact that this is such an "in the weeds" discussion that most people will gloss over and not really understand how crappy they are treating their most loyal members just to make a quick buck. The lock-off premium was exactly the same. My...

I think that is probably the next two steps, file a complaint and notify DVD through a C&D. Fortunately my college roommate is an attorney in Palm Beach who practices business law, so can get some of the entry work done very easily. But he is checking with his contacts to find someone who...

That's the regulatory agency I thought it was and I did find the complaint form. I wasn't sure if they approved every revision or it was just filed with them, as in for public accessibility.

I think that is a reasonable first step. I did ask about the regulatory agencies in my conversation and I would describe the response as almost over the top about how the regulators are fully aware of this and it was all approved (aka "move along nothing to see here"). Does anyone know if this...

I agree 100% this is much worse for the Direct DRR purchasers as of right now. Of course after 2042, it might be much worse for those L14 resale buyers who purchased after 1/19/19 if they have very few options to trade into.

Actually the answer I got from DVCMC was "members wanted differentiation between direct and resale buyers". Yeah sure and how much did you have to pay those "members" to say that? The fact is they had no answer for the direct buyer asking what they got for paying so much more for the same...

Exactly, that's why I just expect they do monitor it. Just not sure why it was intentionally brought up and in particular the way it was. It seemed a lot of the conversation was about they are satisfying some members. I think no matter what you did you could manage to please a few people out...
