I've been away from Disney and the disboards for quite some time. So many other things going on in our lives that WDW just was not even a thought. We're back into the disney frame of mind and we're planning next year to throw a few trips in after a 2 year hiatus. Man was I shocked to read about the July 4th TOWL nonsense, the 2020 points thing, and the resale restrictions.
All are really concerning, but particularly the 2020 reallocation attempt. I have read the articles and many of the threads (they sure do go on for a while...rightly so as it ticked off most members on here). I really have only 1 question about it all. The articles all say "DVC listened to their members concerns and acted accordingly". I was always under the believe that a "unit" was a studio, a 1br, or 2br, etc....not an entire resort. And to me it seems DVC "changed their minds" because what they did was not in the contract. But I've never been able to discern if this is the correct interpretation. Obviously DVC is not going to announce "Hey we got caught violating our terms and have to backtrack"......of course they will spin it in a positive light.....but is this the correct reading of "unit"? There are many smarter and more educated minds on these boards than myself on the legal matters of DVC. I am quite grateful in fact for many of you that have that knowledge.
I'm not looking to rehash any of this.....just looking to see if anyone can answer to what the actual interpretation of the contract is. I know when we were looking to purchase, our sales guide did say the number of points to book a room stay the same year over year.....just can go up or down per season or weekday/weekend. I know that salesman are salesman and you must make yourself aware....but that was always my belief......and to read DVC say in print, we will continue to analyze usage and make changes accordingly makes me believe they will try this again in the future if their legal team says it's ok.
