Direct purchasers will be able to book other DVC resorts. Anyone who purchases RIV on the resale market will be restricted to using their points at RIV.
Still waiting on points charts and whether Legacy 14 owners will be able to trade into RIV at a 1:1 ratio.
Which makes RIV points worth WAY less on the resale market. One of the selling points of DVC is that the points retain much of their value compared to other timeshares. No one knows what life will throw at them, so paying a premium for a resort that will be worth significantly less if resale becomes necessary seems like a bad idea.
Disney seems to be going to great lengths to promote the value of buying direct from them, but I can’t be the only one who views this new policy as a negative for initial purchasers rather than a positive.
