My main argument is that December points and demand are not balanced. My opinion is that the second half of August makes the most sense to balance it.

We can all have opinions, but fact is that August is not the only month that are high season for hurricanes so that argument hold no merits.

Fact is also that December is high season for DVC members. Fact is also that December has been high season for a long time.

Will that change if the points for studios increases - I don’t know - guess it depends on how much.

Is the allocation of points only determined by the DVC members and not Disney vacation guests? Is the potential of adjusting points based only on the reservations by DVC members for specific time periods?

Are they limited to only a certain number of travel periods with a maximum of 7?

I don’t know which criteria DVC used but, among others I guess It’s determined by the demand, how fast it books up etc.

Disneys regular resort guests have no impact to the number of points required to book a room. Only DVC members have that - in the sense that a higher demand could demand a higher point cost.

There are no limits to travel periods. We got the current ones a few years ago

Based on DVC owners bookings. They can create seasons and there is even a chart in the multi site POS that shows what would happen if every day was the same point level.

Based on that information it seems to me that Disney could easily defend changing the point charts. Whether they want to do that is a totally different discussion.

They easily could breakdown the amount of DVC reservations made per day/week and the least popular weeks get a reduction in points required. If that benefits August or early December or any other month the response to any unhappy individual is the data supports the change.

They recently (2023 or 2024, I’m not sure) completed a reallocation that made summer cheaper and fall/winter more expensive, including increasing the cost of the first two weeks of December. It took 3 years, IIRC, because there are limits on how much they can change a given night from one year to the next. They also expanded the calendar from five to seven seasons. So they’re probably watching booking patterns now to see the effects of that reallocation before making more adjustments. For instance, already I’ve noticed mention here and elsewhere about booking early May rather than later due to the relative points cost of those weeks.
