I've been on the wait list for months now and there is still a good chance I'll get that last night to a lake view but today I went onto the Disney website to see whether the room was available for cash and sure enough on Dec 3 there is lake view deluxe studio available to pay with cash. Now, if the lake view Deluxe studios only exist in the Moorea longhouse than how is it available for cash but not DVC members? could someone much smarter than me please answer this? I'm guessing all the rooms in the Moorea longhouse don't actually belong to DVC but I'm hoping that guess is wrong. Thanks in advance.
Disney owns points too. They acquire points from members that exchange their points for cruises, Adventures by Disney, etc. They can then book rooms at 11 months and sell those units for cash (to pay for the exchange).
They also own developer points, which they can sell too—especially in resorts that aren't sold out like Riviera, and they have some "breakage" inventory (unused points).
All the rooms in Moorea are not lake view either, only about half. Obviously, half the longhouse faces green space, not the lake.
At PVB, only 72 rooms are lake view. You still have a good chance to get the room. Many times wait lists don't fill until the last few weeks until a trip.
