PVB Tower Charts, Sales Date and more!!!

[davidhr]

I had checked the point chart when it was released and knew that it was going to be expensive, but even with that got sticker shock yesterday when looking at the points when checking the booking tool.

Even the duos were super expensive. I like riviera duos but I really don’t like the sink layout of these.

Looks like early declared inventory looks something like this:

14 - Tower Standard villas - Duos
2 - Tower Preferred - Duos
4 - Tower Premium - Duos
34 - Standard Deluxe Studios
8 - Preferred Deluxe Studios
25 - Theme Park View Deluxe Studios
15 - 1 Bedroom Standard Views
4 - 1 Bedroom Preferred Views
20 - 1 Bedroom Theme Park Views
0 - 2 Bedroom Standards (Dedicated)
0 - 2 Bedroom Preferred (Dedicated)
3 - 2 Bedroom Theme Park Views (Dedicated)
1 - Penthouse Preferred
1 - Penthouse Theme Park

I think these numbers are a little off.

There are only 26 1 bedroom units (Your numbers show 39) but there are 46 Lock-off units and 40 Dedicated 2 Bedrooms.
My guess is your numbers are pulling from lock-offs.
Not sure why the official paperwork only shows 1 bathroom in the 1 bedroom and 2 in the 2 bedroom.

I'm actually glad people are booking here. I don't personally see my family staying in these cabins so it basically just opens up more availability at 7 months at other resorts. It also gives people like you said an opportunity to save points and get larger accommodations if they're willing to sacrifice location.

I'm the opposite. I own PVB points and actually, would rather use them at CFW.

That said, we drive every time, so that probably makes a big difference...

Perfect, I’ll take your place at Poly we didn’t drive when we weren’t locals so location is very important to us and will be again once we leave here. Idk I’m just not a fan of the layout although I’d love to bring our dog to the resort.

You can have it and I'll keep all of the extra points saved Honestly, kidding aside, our PVB stays that we do in the future will probably be in the longhouses as those studios have more space.

As an aside, as one that thinks most of the properties are all about the same (park proximity doesn't hold a lot of value to us, because they are all closer to or farther from one park or another), SSR, AKV, or OKW even is just fine. I've only ever done rope drop one time in the 20+ years we've been going to WDW (back when Rise of the Resistance opened), so no need to rush. Our stay patterns have definitely changed now that DD is an adult...

As to convenience, if I'm leaving the MK at night, getting on the Poly boat or the FW boat is 6 or 1/2 dozen the other to me (with the caveat that I have a golf cart at FW).

I posted the link to Tim's DVCNews dues article in the 2025 dues thread.
A lot of PVB owners are going to be very happy to see their dues go down by 3.69%.

Here's a link to my post. Figure it's best for dues discussions to happen on the dues thread.

We're not rope drop people either. I can't get my partner out of the room before 1030 at the earliest but we like being able to head back midday for a nap and then go to dinner.

Maybe I'll enjoy the boat more now that it's cooler out but during the summer it was miserable for me with the smell of gas and the sun in my face so generally we'll take the moldy smell on the monorail because at least it's air conditioned

It was a good year for me. RIV only going up 2.3%, AUL only going up 3.6%, the one that hurts me is AKV but fortunately that's the home resort we have the least amount of points at. With me buying Poly next year it's also indirectly good for me that their dues came down

Not surprised one bit by the dues coming down. With the larger than normal average amount of points per room (thank you theme park view rooms) and the simplicity of maintaining the "small" footprint of the new tower vs older, spread out longhouses, it was sort of inevitable that the dues would either remain flat or drop down a bit. Happy to see it have a positive effect on PVB!

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
