†Proposed (projected to open Summer 2024). The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort – A Disney Vacation Club Resort is not yet registered or available for sale in all jurisdictions. This is not an offer in any jurisdiction where registration requirements have not been met. Actual inventory offered for sale will vary by state of residence.
You have to buy 150 to be eligible for perks. But they cut the minimum buy-in number of points to 100 with VGF2. Also you can add on fewer, probably 50.
Well at this particular home resort there is not a concern about buying too many or too few points for what you want. Every cabin is the same and there’s nothing but a cabin. So there’s not the variability that can be so concerning for this resort.
Recognizing that these points can be used elsewhere, I think they’re banking on most buyers having full intention to only use them here.
Oh and also what @Nicky_S said which is much more based in fact than theory
Oh, okay. But…it WAS a minimum of 150 pts, right? I’m not crazy, right? (Well…I mean, about that.)
It would suggest that Disney was struggling to sell with a minimum 150 points.
Interestingly (and only tangentially related), the lady we have used to rent points from in the past has just recently decided to sell ALL of her points. She said she isn’t happy with the direction she has seen Disney headed, and just wanted to get out now while she could sell her points for something.
She didn’t elaborate, but I found it interesting. It makes me wonder how the DVC market is going to fare going forward.
I assumed she meant more from a business perspective. Disney has been making a series of poor business choices since like 2019, and they are a bit in dire straits in some ways as a whole. But, I can’t say for sure. I’m reading between the lines.
Only for first time buyers, not for existing members (including resale). I assume this message is for existing members since they are the ones who can buy starting tomorrow.
I assume there will be a minimum for first time purchases.
Aside from the day, the discount will likely apply to anyone who buys up until April. And I think the minimum for new buyers will be 100 points as it was for VGF2.
