I have never sat through a DVC sale pitch and I haven't read reports about recent tactics, but do the guides still put a lot on emphasis on being able to book any resort at 7 months
subject to availability? Because if I'm a buyer on holiday and I am being explained that I can book anything I want at 7 months
subject to availability, maybe with the
point charts casually open on the AKV value villas, why should I buy GFV over RIV? Because so I can book at 11 months? Who does that anyway? I can book whatever I want at 7 months
subject to availability, I'll buy the cheapest resort, even if it's just a few bucks per point!
Unless the guides go into details how difficult it is to book at 7 months for a good part of the year (and they won't), the importance of the home resort choice has always been unclear to new uninformed purchasers. So cheaper wins.
