According to this, tomorrow should start demo. We will see!

Hopefully there will be updates this week. We are anxious to see if this actually starts since reflections was just cancelled.

A reasonably reliable source on another board indicated that the DLR Villas are delayed roughly 9 months due to COVID, but that they are continuing with no budget cuts. So we shall see!

That's not bad considering other DVC plans probably been shelved indefinitely.

Hopefully this is the case. With DLR still closed with no end in sight, I’m hoping this doesn’t change.

Oh man. This is a DVC that really peaked my interest and would love to buy here.

Same. My wife and I have debated endlessly whether our direct points should be at Saratoga Springs or Disneyland. We’re leaning Disneyland.

 

[Disfan20065]

We’ve had the same conversations. Since Disneyland is so much closer to us we are more likely to go there over WDW. As soon as this is available we are going to buy in.

A friend of ours owns at the Grand Californian. They never have any trouble making DVC reservations in Florida via DVC or a trade with another DVC member. I think this would be an added benefit to buying here.

Now with DL still closed and COVID still very much a thing, what do you guys think the price per point will be and when do you think they will start selling? I really want to own at DL since we only go for about 3 days every year. We stayed in GCA a couple years ago and loved it but the price is just too high for us at the moment. However things could be better down the line which is why I'm paying attention to the DL Tower. Thoughts?

I think it will be priced the same as whatever Riviera and Aulani are going for at the time; $10 more at most. Maybe $220?

I'll take equal to whatever BLT is going for direct, so $235 now, maybe $245 by then. Maybe you win by Price is Right rules haha.

 

[sethschroeder]

the price is just too high for us at the moment.

I would not expect DLT to be cheaper in Price or Point Charts. Now one of those might be less expensive but I would not count on it. The big difference will be that DLT will be a new 50 year contract so its math likely will be a little better.

I don't expect it to be very different in point chart wise. Price I'm hoping for the $200-$210 range. Also GCA is just too much, with the resale prices I've seen, for us on a personal financial level as well. Hopefully we'll be in a better spot financially to be able to buy in a couple years when the buying opens up.

 

[sethschroeder]

I think we see a 20% increase in point requirement with prices starting at $200/point. That means in fall it goes from 148 points to 175-180 points for a week in a studio.

Okay I was way off. With Riviera now going over $200/point I am going to readjust my prediction.

$235/point with 175-180 points for a week in a studio.

I'd really love to see what the grand villa goes for. I'm a socal native, but soon moving to orlando for business. When my wife and I have talked about it, we probably do 3 night stay max a year and would love to bring family when we're back in town. Those enormous outdoor balconies really pique my interest

 

[thelittledipster]

When would this go on sale at DVC, before it opens for people to stay? If so, how soon?

6-9 months out?

Did they break ground yet? What’s the latest timeline? What is supposed to happen next in the name of progress?

Not as far as I’ve been able to discern. We are looking at a 2023 opening most likely. Anything new that comes up I’ll post here. Next is groundbreaking. Disney’s filings this summer implied (but did not outright state) that we’d be seeing site prep by now. It’s not clear if the ongoing DLR closure has impacted the timeline.

Disney included it in some hype videos they did earlier this month so as far as we know it’s still on the agenda.

Haha, well if anyone can use their DVC one way or another, it's you!
