Do we anticipate these will have the same rules regarding resale DVC points as RR? I know I can use my first contract I bought resale at RR but not my second because I bought it a year later after they had changed some of the rules of resale. Also, will the resale of points from these new cabins have the same rules as RR where they can only be used at the home resort and not the other DVC resorts?

News Disney Vacation Club announces plans for more than 350 new cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort
- Thread starter DCBaker
- Start date
Anticipating yes to both questions.
Past cabins have had a 25ish year life so one planned replacement at year 25 should allow to owners through two 25 year cabins, and then we'll see what happens at 50 years. I'd expect the replacement cost to be built into budget, I guess capital improvement budget. They can grow it over +20 years to not make a burden on dues in any one particular year.

Thanks, I don’t get emails that can be considered as “marketing” - there’s some weird licensing issue about marketing to us in the U.K., although we can buy direct over the phone. We can’t even view any promotional videos on the website!
But I don’t think the email has gone out to all members, because there are a lot of people asking the same question on other forums too.
You would think the dates would be up on the website by now. It’s only a couple of weeks away!

Yes. This was confirmed in the documents filed recently about the Palmetto Trust.

People who love Fort Wilderness LOVE Fort Wilderness.
People who don't love Fort Wilderness are free to purchase at Riviera or Poly 2.
The 2024 point chart starts on July 1.So they still don’t say July 1st there. Weird.

The cabins were never priced like Moderate hotel rooms, nor should they have been. Just like Family Suites at Art of Animation aren't priced like Value hotel rooms.

A cabin in June 2024 is $551 Weekday / $580 Weekend.
A standard view room at POR those same dates is $339 / $342.
A resort view room at Wilderness Lodge is $614 / $615.
So a cabin was always much closer to a Deluxe price than a Moderate price.

I got the same email and I definitely never signed up for any information about these cabins. I suspect that any DVC members who didn't receive one either will receive it eventually later today or live in a state or country with restrictions on what can and can't be sent to people unsolicited (may have to "opt in" to receiving marketing emails from a business rather than the usual "you're getting these unless you opt out" method most businesses use).

They look like half of a double wide trailer... Seems a little cheap feeling for the cost.

That's literally what they are and what they've been for decades.
They're my favorite accomodations on property.

I didn't realize the old ones were that as well.. Guess I am not picturing what they looked like.
