And I am not disagreeing with that possibility, although it seems strange that DVD would allow an existing member, who is not a Riviera owner, to begin reserving before any owners (such as add-ons). In the past, DVD provided a starting time for making reservations by those who add on at the new resort that was shortly before other members could reserve. Also, it would seem having special undeclared inventory to do that would not really add anything special since when the Resort opens to members there will already be a unit or units declared into the resort and thus ample availability for those reserving early.
The announcement seemed even more vague/subject to interpretation than most recent ones.
Optimistically, thought crossed my mind they might offer existing DVC/non-Riviera members a chance to book on cash/perhaps point conversions of some sort pre general pubic. File it under a sales tool of sorts for add-ons, akin to the traditional TS method of visiting via a heavily discounted stay but with no need to sit thru a hard sell. Why, yes, I do live in Fantasyland.
