Great seeing Pete...especially...
900usd a night for a studio is insane... Im so happy i'm a DVC member and can get those rooms with points
Pete!
Love the rest of you too, really do!
What a great show. Love the energy and execution. Keep the content coming.
Good to see you Pete, where have you been?
Still glad to be a DVC member. Wouldn't have it any other way.
Yessssss! 🎉A show with Pete! Nothing makes me happier. A show with a Pete rant does makes me happier but that is about it!
PETE! The DVC fan show- must watch content.
YAY!!! Pete's back! I missed you!
Glad youre here Pete. Love the crew but love you too.
Take 100% of my money for that Coronado tower
So if someone buys at the DL hotel, and uses points there, they will pay the transient tax, but if they use those points elsewhere, they won’t pay the tax?
I bought in VGC in the beginning for $90 per point. One of the best investments I've ever made. I was ready to add on at the Disneyland Hotel, but I just don't want to pay as I checkout.
the ultimate aim of disney should be to turn the whole world into a private club. completing the EPCOT dream
Lots of stuff to cover here. Part 2 for sure.
Love the shirt, Pete!!!
Isn't the transient tax for all hotels in the county?
30:24 - Buy the old cabins and end up with a prefab ADU! :D
Forget Ca, when will DVC be in Japan or Paris?
Great show
So interesting the comparisons between Grand Cali and the new Tower. Grand Cal is WAY overdue for refurb. I kid you not - my stay in February was about the most disappointing experience ever. We didn't have a fold out couch -- just a tiny loveseat (they didn't even move the tables to make it look like the loveseat was supposed to be there) and the toilet seat fell off the toilet (even after they "fixed" it). Let's not even talk about how terrible the fold out couches actually are. Anyway -- it's all very surprising.
I agrée with you and I also wonder why no one discusses how small Grand Cal is and that even at 11 months owners don’t always get what they want and need. I understand the love for it, it’s lovely but it’s not as wonderful as it is being touted to be.
I heard about the Disneyland hotel villas! Looks amazing to explore on my birthday
Miss you Pete 😊
Im fine with the show being longer than 30 minutes!
Hey thats my spreadsheet you mentioned! 😂 I think I only took a screen shot of my numbers and did not share the file, but I'm happy to share the spreadsheet as well.
Pete is back 🎉
i bought grand cal for $89/pt in 2009 and it's one of my biggest "flexes" in life!!
The big selling point is pet friendly !!!!!
We have been considering buying into DVC since back November 2022. We were waiting on news of the VDH but decided not to purchase there due to the transient tax associated with it. However, the recent news of Fort Wilderness Cabins being converted to newer DVC cabins has piqued our interest. We are interested in buying directly as we have stayed in these cabins before and paid a high price of $500 to $600 a night in February 2023. Additionally, the current cabins lacked suitable amenities such as comfortable sofa beds and USB outlets. We were pleased to learn that they plan on using the existing cabin area and using the same footprint with modern upgrades. To us, since we prefer having our own personal space when we are at WDW, we feel DVC at Fort Wilderness Cabins will be a good purchase for our family vacations. We absolutely enjoy looping around the Fort and look forward to 2024.
My guide told me the Visa offer was only through April and didn’t work at VDH. Bummer.
I bought in the original Old Key West when it opened. Was great at the beginning but got crapier as time went by, sold it years ago. I just book regular disney hotels now, so much better
How far is the hotel from the parks? Do they provide transportation?
Love the show! Do we think that there may be a possibility to open up new DVC resorts without having new contracts being sold? That way existing members just simply have more options to stay vs worry about new members? Or would that make them hard to sustain without owners being involved and costs would get passed along?
Previous DVC advisor here. It’s not really possible to open a DVC resort without selling to new members. DVC is technically a timeshare and set up that way financially. They have certain “occupancies” they have to fill. That’s why members have guaranteed weeks and use years/months.
Disney screwed up with the cabins, They should have left the cabins the way they are and build the DVC "NEW" cabins on the waistland of Reflections.
This same discussion about lower prices, etc was had when Riviera was announced due to its proximity to Caribbean.
Riviera didn't start with low dues, they were pretty high at the time. They just didn't increase as much as the other resorts and now they seem normal. I suspect VDH will follow the same pattern.
I agree with Amy I think they will have the price per point the same, but have the value in the number of points to stay.... As an example, both OKW and AKV are 20 pp night weekdays in Sept for 1BR.... If they were to match this, you could stay 5 nights with a100 point contract. I REALLY hope they add this to Copper Creek so it stays part of the old exchange system.
How do I get the $1200 discount with the Disney credit card? How does that work?
I see no way they point prices dip or change based on resorts. It will be point chart controlled otherwise people buy tons of points and transfer into "deluxe" resorts. Amy said it I think.
Cabins are the first thing to make me consider direct but its also hard to see how the value buying there works. I wonder if this cash option is still affordable and if so I would just rent there instead. Point charts will break this resort I think very fast.
409 cabins at fort wilderness. 350ish DVC cabins. Maybe one small section gets torn down and deluxe amenities added on site.
Daaaaannnnng, State of California is gonna rake in the $$$ with this one. I just ran the numbers on that but with free parking for DVC members and the 10% discount on food and schwag it balances out a little. If the Disneyland Resort were as big as Walt Disney World and a week-plus stay was required, I’d say no but the DLR can be done in 2- and 3-night bites.
As a DVC member for 20yrs, I am against the cabins going DVC. I think the concept art looks like shipping container homes that have no place in the Wilderness. ❤
The problem I have with those new cabins will be transportation, it is not a walkable resort at all so will a golf cart be included and baked into the dues, since as we say DVC members like to leave without a bill that’s almost $100 a day for a golf cart everytime,also I imagine the annual dues to be high as these are “trailers” and will need lots of upkeep in the elements constantly
I seriously doubt the price per point will change. This would make the ability to stay at a different resort not work at all. Imagine if the price per point were 2/3 of the standard point price, people would buy those cheaper points and use them at deluxe resorts.
The point charts will be reflected so that the number of points will be lower.
It would make the seven-month window even more of a nightmare than it already is. But maybe the idea is to give an entry ramp to DVC and move them up to buying Deluxe, once they get a taste of staying other properties? Hard to tell.
I would buy DVC cabins. We are a family of 5 and love “rustic” and more campy accommodations. If only we had the disposable income to do it!
That's the thing, it won't be rustic anymore. It's being modernized and will not feel like a cabin anymore.
Pete be like - I am wearing Gucci - do I look like some transient?
We added-on points at VDH opening day. We were expecting $250 a point, potentially up to the $300 range when you see what they sell the Grand Cal at. $230 looked reasonable, but the incentives put us over the top. Originally we were only going to do 100 points (if that), but ended up getting 150 because of the $20 incentive, nearly doubling our existing points. We're on the West Coast and we do runDisney, so having a Disney hotel as our home base for race weekends on both costs will be great.
We paid with our Disney Visa and didn't get a discount, maybe that's at a higher price limit? But we do get the six months financing and the Disney dollars back, so that was a little bit of money back. Of course, now I'm more disappointed the Premier Pass isn't coming back since we'll be doing both coasts more often. Not crazy about the transient tax, but knowing it's only if we use our points there, we can make that up by renting our points from time to time. We couldn't find a Grand Cal contract in our use year even on resale, so we'd rather lock in what we can get, because I'm not confident Disney wouldn't ROFR the Grand Cal points even if we found them.
By the way, Monera is great. We used them for the original financing on our Grand Floridian resale. Paid it off pretty quick, but the entire process was hassle-free with them.
Sorry, but I wouldn't want teenagers in my bedrooms at that cost. Teenagers aren't necessarily going to fit in bunk beds forever. As for 2 teenagers sharing the sofa, seems like a non-starter to me.
DVC needs to build on Reflections and reimagine the bedroom situation.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: take a non-DVC owner and walk them around the exterior and common areas of SSR or OKW, then do the same at POR, and they won't be able to tell the difference. SSR/OKW are already moderate resorts with kitchens. Even the quick service and table service locations at POR are better than those at SSR/OKW. And the pool at POR blows the one at OKW away. Don't even bother trying to compare Fulton's General Store with Conch Flats or Artist's Palette.
The lines got blurred even further with the Resort Studios at VGF2. Now, you can't even say a kitchen/kitchenette defines a deluxe villa. With the cabins at FWC, the only difference is early/extended theme park access.
they are going to massively upgrade the resort and jack those points. say good bye to the whole vibe created by the most loyal resort fans
DVC hoping the buyer is very uneducated is a funny strategy if it is part of the calculation lol
Georgia peach watching now 🍑 🏰 🎉❤
Moderate resort prices are comparable to DVC rental prices - non-DVC owners upset about the cabins will be just fine. Please do this with Gran Destino!
Can’t tell you how disappointed I am that Disney is going to curse fort wilderness with DVC crap. So sad.
I completely disagree with Disney’s perception that by making all the cabins DVC it is going to successfully create a new customer base. They have destroyed a sub culture within WDW by doing this. Many people that follow Disney already feel an over reach with DVC products. Taking away the best Moderate option and possibly more moderate options from other resorts Dora’s not make me want to buy DVC, it makes me want to vacation somewhere else instead.
DVC Fan. Folks, DeSantis has said that his new board that will run WDW is looking at new taxes. The taxes will be at the same rate as California's Transient Tax (15%) on all Hotels and Simular properties. So will DVC owners pay the same tax as Disneyland's DVC Tower? This new tax will not effect Universal as they have been given 20 year tax breaks on their latest hotels and the new ones for "Epic Universe." It looks like DeSantis is going to tax Disney within an inch of it's life. There might even be a passenger tax on the ferry's across 7 Seas Lagoon. Fun times. Cheers, Chris Perry.
Making the cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Campground a DVC Resort will be a HUGE mistake for Disney along with their new cabins that are replacing the current cabins. The cabins have a too modern look for the campground. Disney is going to DESTROY the campground with making the cabins a DVC Resort.
Who’s going to buy there? You have to be the biggest Disney addict
So Pete, how is this different, (we both are Floridians) to what FL Gov. De Santos, is wanting from Disney? This Disney crap does not fly in CA, so why should it in FL?
