This is a rumor but usually he comes real close.

Thus a new Member could buy (with financing) 50-BLT, 50-AKV, 60GCV as one purchase! (I have heard of, but can not confirm smaller subcontracts with financing). Without Financing, you could start with enough 25 pointers to meet or exceed 160 points.

Boy do I wish this was true back when I purchased!





Hey All!

Just off the phone with DEEP CROAKER.

The following are just pure speculation, DC's thoughts, *NOT BASED* on inside info this time.

In other words even more rumorish than usual. Please keep that in mind! I have not vetted any of this info!

Here goes in no particular order.

2011 Disney delivers first of new cruise ships....

Hmm West coast port, wonder why.... Hmmmm Hawaii opens 2011. Perhaps Hawaii is more of a cruise terminus than a destination resort?

2012 Disney delivers second new ship...... Where to go....????

Hmmmm, any deep water ports near Washington DC????

Hey didn't Disney buy some land near DC?????

Isn't the Northeast just a train ride away from DC.....

Perhaps DC makes more sense now.....

Okay, BLT incentives go away 6/15. *Perhaps* $5.00 per point discount will remain that's it.

AKV & SSR incentives may or may not remain, depends on how much is sold this last week.

Original BLT plans called for 1 Year sell out. They are behind that. They probably will not be sold out by Jan 2010, *BUT* the original projection was made before the economic crash.

Of interest, DVC Bigwigs are expecting a sales boom from the cash guests who snagged stays at BLT during the summer, and still expect 100% total sell out by June 2010............

Recent DVC Vice President retired, still not replaced.

DVC made some boo-boos with financing and Florida Regulators are on-site and reviewing the DVC's records of last several years. Now all Purchaser's must have 10%to put down. (No more gift cards applied to DP, or 5% DPs). All new incentive plans require regulators approval, so there really may not be any new ones announced June 15. (Except continuation of AKV & SSR).

Under new Banking and Mortgage rules (O'Bama's recovery plan), Mortgage Money (including Disney's DVC) are under tight scrutiny....... Every one is being extra cautious. Since this is a deeded Real Estate Purchase, they have to follow the same Federal Compliance now being mandated.

Poly DVC, keep hoping. Not before 2015....... (Not even on the drawing plans right now)

That's about it.

Enjoy!

ETA:

WDW Disney is just about sold out through New Years. Guides who do not have vacations already scheduled for that time period were told to forget going on vacation.....AND..... Overtime has been authorized. 5 new Orlando DVC-Guides were just hired as well.....

No DVC/Disney recession (at least with free dinning and 4/3 stays!)
