November direct sales slow, but still 16.7% higher year-over-year

[maui22]

"In November 2023, 148,538 Disney Vacation Club points were sold for the 11 DVC resorts located at World Disney World and The Villas at Disneyland Hotel. It was the fewest number of points sold since April 2023 and 27.0% less than what direct sales have averaged throughout 2023. However, year-over-year, the number represents a 16.7% increase over the 127,326 points sold in November 2022.


Despite the late-year slow down, Disney is still on pace to have its best year since 2011. DVC only needs to sell 72,000 points December 2023 in order for the year to settle in at second place behind 2011, when 2,467,550 points were sold for the year.


The largest deed sold in November 2023 was a 1,000-point deed for The Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort. The next largest deeds were a 900-point deed and a 700-point deed for Disney's Riviera Resort. In addition, one owner added on 1,050 Riviera points, split into two 525-point deeds"

Those brakes have slammed on the Disneyland Hotel. Strategy may need a rethink in the new year.

Riviera just chugging along seemingly.

Just wonder what is next for VDH because it’s ground to a very slow crawl.

And, RIV continues its steady increase! With the extra incentives right now, you wonder if it might get over 90k in the next few months!

Probably no strategy for VDH. Like aulani they’ll have no problem renting rooms for cash and happily continue to sell 30,000 points a month.

RIV is definitely the one with the biggest carrot for buyers.

VDH tax really scared people off. Not sure what Disney's solution will be other than to eventually offer some bigger incentives.

I don’t even want to stay there on my non VDH points! My MFs on those points would be crazy high!
