We have 2 separate issues at stake. One is what is best for an individual and their family, how they spend their money and choose to vacation is their decision. All issues were looked at with eyes wide open, I cannot see where there is any issue on this. The second issue is what is best for all DVC owners with regard to value, resale value. The resale restrictions will likely end up hurting all DVC owners in the long run when it comes to resale. However, if you plan on owning for 50 years, is it really hurting an individual--as many have said and to repeat DVC is at the heart a time share and not an investment. I find this whole issue very draining as I am in my mid 60's and know all too well how life can throw you curves (open Heart surgery last year was a real eye opener). So I maybe in a position in the future of being forced to sell my treasured DVC points. This is why I can clearly see both sides of the argument.
Agree on most points except that I would use the word impact vs. hurt in terms of resale restrictions.
Is Disney changing the product? Absolutely. Will those changes impact resale value and possibly booking down the road? Most likely.
Will those restrictions hurt all owners? No, because it all depends on your individual exceptions for the product. But I absolutely do agree it will impact all owners in some way.
For me personally, right now, i don’t see that impact being a big deal.
