Sorry if this is old news but I've been sort of out of touch completing an internship - I MISS MY DIS!!!!
Anyway - after the last fiasco, I want to know if this is really real before I get excited about another addition to the DVC family.
Thanks!

Horace Horsecollar said:From other articles, I agree that a Coco Palms Kauai DVC resort is extremely unlikely. However, just because another developer is involved in a resort project doesn't mean that DVC can't also be involved.
There are a number of Marriott Vacation Clubs in which Marriott works with another developer. The developer provides the location and financing. Marriott brings the name recognition, reputation, marketing, sales, ongoing management, and inclusion in the MVCI network of resorts. In such resorts, Marriott may or may not have an equity role. Presumably, the developer and Marriott both make money, and Marriott doesn't have to come up with all (or any) of the money for land and construction.
Along the same lines, I could see DVD/DVC working with another developer. In fact, in any future off-site locations, I think such a partnership is actually more likely than DVD doing everything themselves.
I recently posted Could this be the New DVC Resort in Hawaii?, speculating that the developers of the Grand Ko Olina project at Ko Olina on Oahu are likey to want a timeshare partner for the timeshare part of the massive resort complex -- and a DVC resort could be a good fit for the developers and DVD/DVC.
That doesn't exactly mean, "DVC was in the process of buying the Ko-Olina Resort on Oahu." But there will be newly built timeshares at the Ko Olina Grand (in addition to the Marriott timeshares at the south end of Ko Olina). It's likely that the new timeshares will be branded with a trusted, recognizable brand. Maybe, just maybe, that brand could be Disney Vacation Club.
The Hilton Grand Vacations Club at Waikoloa Beach Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii, with 120 two-bedroom timeshare units, is scheduled to open early this year. The timeshare resort's guests will have access to the Hilton Waikoloa Beach Resort and HGVC will undoubtedly market to the guests of that huge, spectacular resort.Plutofan said:I was talking to a friend who owns a Hilton Grand Timeshare. He was told by Hilton that they are building a large Timeshare on the Big Island in Hawaii.
Its a joke.cbjl said:A thread on the rumor board says the sign has been replaced with a truck - anyone confirm? (or was this a joke I'm not getting??)
