Regarding OKW I think a few things will happen:
1. ROFR will have some of a presence between now and 2042, and I think OKW will be a target. Cheap easy way for Disney to acquire 2042 points they can use in the system.
2. OKWE resale contracts seem too high to me compared to the 2042 point sales we are seeing. These will need to come in line with each other.
3. If they offer an extension again, I wonder if they will choose to offer it to all 2042 owners, not just the initial ones that did not sign. They have the legal issues, but also the practical issues of not really wanting to have to sell OKW again, and how do you do that while existing owners have 15 years with the same points chart.
4. Their lawyers will be looking to see how they can possibly consolidate the remaining 2057 owners into existing buildings.
5. What happens to the
points charts and/or maintenance fees when so many owners exit the resort at once? And does that cause lawsuits to emerge as well from the surviving owners - things like “Disney failed to maintain a world-class resort for Vacation Club Members” or “Disney took a beautifully maintained affordable property and turned it into an unaffordable, unappealing resort” doesn’t exactly make for good publicity.
The whole thing is a total mess. Part of me wants to buy a 2042 OKW contract just to be a part of the ride! Also will be interesting to see how owners who have both 2057 and 2042 OKW contracts are treated in this! There have to be a few!
