Disney is counting on “what if I prefer to sleep around at not yet built resorts” FOMO to get people to pay $200+ for Poly when they can get the exact same Poly product for about $150 resale.
As we’ve seen around here, there are some people willing to pay 25-40% more for occasional stays at RIV or VDH and more flexibility with hypothetical future resorts, but I am not one of them and I would be surprised if it’s enough to sell RIV, PVB, VDH, CFW, and AUL at a fast pace… which will be fine as long as they are doing ok on hotel bookings, but could result in some deals if hotel bookings drop.
We're not in the market for anything at the moment, but we have enough direct points now to stay at any future amazing resorts at seven months, so resale is looking better and better.
I feel like an OG OKW owner now! "Back in my day, we bought in direct at Riviera at $188pp. Now it's up to $235pp!"
