Looking at availability, there are:
0 nights available for the next 11 months for AKV Club Studios.
0 nights available for the next 11 months for AKV Value Studios.
7 nights available for the next 11 months for BWV Standard Studios. (Only 2 nights are consecutive.)
Historically, these are by far the most difficult WDW DVC rooms to book.
These rooms are not booked solid for 11 months because of walking. They are booked because they are in extremely high demand.
As I recall, Disney is required by state law to retain 2% ownership in DVC resorts, meaning the rest of us have bought the other 98%. That’s an insanely high occupancy rate for a hotel year round.
Some of us exchange our points, but then Disney is allowed to sell those for cash. Demand remains high.
The problem here is supply and demand.
With Disney selling 98% of the supply, changing the
point charts can be used to help balance demand.
But we still have the problem of commercial renters grabbing hundreds (thousands?) of the most desirable rooms and reselling them as “confirmed reservations”. I’m not talking about someone with a half-a-dozen DVC contracts renting out their excess points. And I’m not talking about DVC brokers who offer a relatively small number of confirmed reservations through DVC members with changes of plans. This appears to be happening at an industrial scale and appears to be a relatively recent phenomenon, at least at this scale.
This is hurting all of us DVC members.
