As a AKK owner, I'm very intrigued with the legal questions surrounding the apparent displacement of DVC guests at Jambo House and those reservations being transferred to Kidani (and possibly other places).
I understand Disney's "right" to take rooms out of service for maintenance, but then putting them to private use and superseding a reservation made by an owner seems ludicrous to me. Is this legal? I know we don't know the full details yet, but all of us can read between the lines. They are, apparently; going to put mls or the nba (lower case intentional in both cases because neither one is significant enough to me to deserve upper case) players in here. If that is indeed what happens, what are the legal implications of doing so?
These owners made these reservation while being fully entitled to the same. "Well we don't want you to stay there so here, take this instead." is not the way I thought timeshare ownership worked. Had Disney used their points to reserve these rooms fair and square, I'd probably have issue with that, but I could at least understand the legality of it.
So does the guy that owns 4000 points get to boot me out of a room if he wants it? How exactly does that work?
I get the hotel component, but we're not talking about that here. You want a bubble? Go use a property without a DVC component. Not good enough for those guests? Then go somewhere else. I don't recall any nba players stepping up to pay for my DVC or my dues.
I know this is getting discussed in other places intermittently, but I think it deserves a thread of its own right. This really seems to be crossing definitively over some mighty black lines. No gray area for me. Somebody explain to me what I'm missing.
