Moving early May to the second cheapest time and combining Dec 1-23 into the third cheapest time is intriguing to me.

 

[gregskellington]

Interesting. Just looking at my travel periods, one got slightly increased and one slightly decreased.

Nice, cant wait for some detailed analysis on them. Also really dig the teal color they used!

 

[Sandisw]

Looks like they finally got all of December into a higher of a season, and October and November continue to be higher to support the high demand of Fall Frenzy. With this new chart, the weeks in which Easter can fall fluctuate between only two travel periods 6 and 7..unlike 2021 and 2022 which had them span three travel periods...which is similar to what used to happen when they only did five travel periods.

So, very quick glance....summer slightly cheaper, early May a bit cheaper, and fall through December a bit higher?

 

[CarolynFH]

Thanks! And wow. When we bought in Nov. 1997, our 300 BWV points got us a 2 BR Preferred view for Thanksgiving week. In 2023 that week will cost 351 points! I'm glad we don't travel the same time and don't need a 2 BR all the time anymore!

 

[JETSDAD]

I'm liking the changes for our personal travel for the most part. We tend to travel Jan, May, Sept, and then first couple weeks of Dec. An increase in Dec is very justified due to demand so I understand that one. Our May trips we'll just make sure to do during the first 2 weeks to make up for any Dec trips. Can't wait to see some more detailed analysis.

Now we know how the new Grand Floridian "resort studios" points compare to GF existing studios. 3 views: standard and lake exactly the same as existing studios, but new resort studio theme park views are more expensive. (Apologies if we already knew that. I don't always keep up, but it's news to me anyway.)

My fixed week in November gets better and better with every revision they make.

Quite surprised they are trying this. I'm a fan of those rooms at 2-3 less points per night for a similar view, but same price? Curious how they will do.

My Jersey Week Poly Lake View Fixed Week contract is looking better and better. 168 points for a guarantee to stay in a week that now costs 185 points to book at 11 months.

Personally, I would rather have more space and 2 real beds so I would choose that over the deluxe studios at the same price.

Totally understandable! I imagine they are hoping families that need studios and need to sleep at least three will pay for these. The extra bed doesn't do anything for me so I selfishly wanted them to just be less points.

I had been on the fence about visiting WDW next Dec (never been for the holidays) or Jan '23. With December moving up a tier in 2023, Disney has helped make that decision for me. I guess I'll be up early one morning next month to book/take advantage of the slightly lower Dec 1-14, 2022 rates...

I will pay more for TPV! It will be interesting to see how many actual rooms there end up being. I bet they go fast!

Now I know how many points I’ll need to add!

If I was a VGF owner this would pee me off. Once it’s newness has worn off, new buyers will get less for more or the same- no mini kitchen etc. I forsee many chasing the superior current DVC rooms with the kitchens in, thus placing more pressure on rooms original members were sold.

I do think the end result will be no deluxe studios of any kind at gfv at 7 months. If you don’t own there forget the notion of deluxe studio. TBD on demand for the resorts and availability at 7 months.
