DVC 2042 Tin Foil Hat Extravaganza

Oh man. This is what we are going to do right now?? I have two full options for you. Both are based upon my insider knowledge from all of my Disney insider sources.

INSIDER INFORMATION OPTION #1

• VB will be sold to another timeshare company. That timeshare company will cold call every current Disney VB owner for months on end explaining to them that they should renew their timeshare with their company because they are the best timeshare company in the world. They will explain that after you buy a week at the new exclusive VB resort that you should then transition your week to points because then you will be admiral corporal status.

• HHI will be sold to a legitimate timeshare company. They will then fleece a whole new generation of people who think they want to play golf in HHI for the winter. They will explain to their potential customer that if they purchase 1 million points, then they will be able to vacation in HHI on every 3rd platinum thursday in the year which will not be disclosed until the 2nd gold tuesday week. They will give those members the perk of paying absolute full price on maintenance fees each year along with playing the back nine of the exclusive 9 hole golf course with a sand wedge and a putter.

• BRV will be refurbished and absorbed by CCV

• The contracts that DVD cannot sell for OKW to make them 2057 contracts will be held onto and those rooms will be sold as cash until 2057.

• BCV will be completely overhauled because the location is prime for EPCOT. During the refurbishment, they will find that the resort is loaded with rust from all of the salt air that comes off of the nonexistent beach. The refurb will then take longer then expected and the next CEO will scrap the old plans and announce that they have listened to customer feedback and are ecstatic to announce the all new Journey Into Imagination Villas and Casitas. Where each room will come with a Figment statue which stands over you while you are sleeping. This groundbreaking resort will open in 2060.

• BWV will be shut down for an extended period. This won't be due to DVD completely refurbing the resort. This will be due to current members locking arms around the resort and not allowing the bulldozers onto the property without going through them. They will demand disney just extends the resort by 50 years and put nanny chairs in each room. Disney will comply. But then the owners will complain 5 years after that the resort is old and tired and it is not what they signed up for.

INSIDER INFORMATION OPTION #2

• All of the resorts will shut down for a specific period of time. HHI and VB will be sold off. BRV will be absorbed by CCV. OKW will go on a firesale of all of the points they could not convert to 2057. BCV and BWV will both go through lengthy refurbs and go back online as new resorts. They will be ridiculously expensive and the point charts will make people vomit.

So there you have it. My insider predictions.

Let’s copy and paste “option 1” on the agenda of every condo association meeting until 2042 to force at least some of that into existence

Hmm I will be 86 when zero day happens. We have owned BWV since 1996. You can ask @DVCDerek what happened when DVD offered extensions at OKW. It was a nightmare for the guides. I would love to see a complete refurb and then re offering the points. However if current trends continue, they will bulldoze it and put in an ugly tower like RIV or PIT. That will kill the vibe. I bet even Disney does not know what they will do. So perhaps @SorcererMickey has a point. Lets copy and past Option 1!

I am still unclear how my final allotment of points will be given or used.

I have an AUGUST UY. I expect I will get my final points on August 1, 2041. But the end of this version of DVC ( as far as I know it) is January 31, 2042. So do I have to make a reservation for some time BEFORE the end of January 2042? Or will my points be good until the usual, July 31, 2042?

I have never seen or heard anyone explain to me how this is going to work- and while it is far off- it is going to happen. If the solution is "oh, that's so far in the future, don't worry about it," then when is the date we should start worrying and expect some answers?

But the new tower will have an Epcot theme park view studio for 50 points a night!

I could see the tower happening, and keeping some of the existing buildings as part of the “village”.

I’ve never heard this asked by anyone aside from you. What about a December UY? Do they have 2 months to use points? That’s incredibly unfair if so

Boardwalk and Beach Club Towers will absolutely happen.

As for points I assume everyone will get their last year points on Jan 1 2041? No idea.

No Beach Club tower. That will impact Epcot sightlines from within the park.

Is BRV becoming part of CCV really what people think? I’ve never heard the DVC Show crew mention this. If true, why am I not buying at CCV? I love BRV but stayed away due to 2042.

1. Hilton Head and Vero Beach will be sold off to another timeshare chain, like Hilton or RCI.

2. Boardwalk gets refurbished and resold at a premium. Tough to beat the location.

3. Disney sells OKW points at a discount with the 2057 expiration.

4. I'm sure beach club will be refurbed and resold, but I'm curious if DVC tries to convert more rooms or part of Yacht Club into one big association.

5. If Boulder Ridge is absorbed by CCV, those will be sold with 28 or 29 years of points left. That's very possible, but I also wouldn't be surprised if they're resold as a new association.

Good point re CCV in 2042. Would they really offer BRV as part of CCV on short years?

DVC membership always has its eye on Yacht Club…unless they walk away from the conference piece of the hotel’s business I don’t see how they let go of inventory. The place was well thought out: A hotel side and a timeshare side. It’s just odd how the timeshare side’s room layouts came out so irregular.
