Unless you were booking in the summer, it’ll still be cheaper.Dang! Just when I was about to reserve a 2BR.

SameThe same thought ran thru my mind! haha
Nope - it wasn't right even if we could have taken advantage of it.

In the case of AKV, the 1BR and 2BR were generally less expensive during Magic and Dream season under the now-repealed 2020 charts (with the exception of 2BR standard). Either way, I’m glad that DVC listened to feedback and paused to re-evaluate, even if it doesn’t personally help me.Unless you were booking in the summer, it’ll still be cheaper.
Get your grand villas though while you can!
Different group. DVD is sales and have a different agenda. DVCMC is management of the existing resorts and have a different mandate.Now reverse the decision on Riviera resale contracts and I’m back on board!

Exactly.OMG - the reallocation would've worked!!!
Seriously though - I posted this in the "lawsuit" thread - but to me this signifies that someone at Disney realized that they did something of questionable legality. They wouldn't do this reversal just because some people complained.
My DH was in bed, luckily he hadn’t fallen asleep yet, because I could not wait to tell him the news!
My wife shook me awake last night for this news... Lol
Seriously doubt that is going to happen. This new restriction is to drive people who are on the fence to buy resale or direct to buy direct. My guess is that resale cost will be 50% to 60% of direct which would still make it profitable for DVD to Use ROFR to take contracts for anyone on the wait list after it is sold out.Now reverse the decision on Riviera resale contracts and I’m back on board!

Lawyer communications regarding potential lawsuits would likely be protected from discovery as attorney client communication.I'm guessing that their lawyers were whispering "class action", and not putting it in emails so that it could be discovered by outside counsel.

I wouldn’t have paid close enough attention had the thread not gotten past 10 pages or so.I wonder if Disney thought that the common folk wouldn't have figured out what they were trying to do in this scheme?
Didn’t follow that case at all.Serious question, since I don't know the answer. Were Wells Fargos emails protected during their investigation/lawsuit?
Oh yeah, I wouldn't have had a clue either. But the experts and long time DVCs caught on.I wouldn’t have paid close enough attention had the thread not gotten past 10 pages or so.
I made the assumption that Disney did it correctly, and it wasn’t until I made a spreadsheet and plugged the numbers in myself that I realized how crazy this all was.
So yeah, I’m betting they figured no one would go through that much trouble.
