Probably logistics on selling the points…after that, it will be tough. There’s way more demand for dvc in California to leave much of anything as cash available

First look at The Villas at Disneyland Hotel, opening September 2023. Reservations open March 15th for DVC members and March 17th to the public.
"The Villas at Disneyland Hotel will blend timeless Walt Disney Animation Studios classics with contemporary designs, delicately curating a celebration of Disney history in the place where it all started—the Disneyland Resort. This will be the fourth tower at the Disneyland Hotel, located just steps from the Downtown Disney District.
From the moment you catch a glimpse of the 12-story tower’s colorful façade, every space will immerse you in discovering the creative storytelling process, bringing some of your favorite Disney stories to life like never before in a variety of themed accommodations."
"Reservations for The Villas at Disneyland Hotel can be made beginning on March 15 for Disney Vacation Club Members by contacting Member Services at (800) 800-9800 and on March 16 for Disneyland Resort Magic Key holders by contacting (714) 956-6425.
Villas are limited in availability, and restrictions apply. Subject to change or cancellation without notice.
Bookings will open to the public on March 17, 2023, subject to availability. You can make your reservation online at Disneyland.com/VillasDisneylandHotel or by contacting (714) 956-6425."

Wonder what the rate would be on that two level penthouse. 15k? 20k?

Oh that’s right. But you have to buy points right? Would that be the case here?

In Florida, some rooms at every timeshare has to be available for rent by law. I don’t know if Cali is the same?
But those rooms - at least in Orlando - are cash. Not a good deal, but they are available

No, you go into the booking tool just like you normally would for any hotel room.
I very briefly entertained the idea in my head of buying a very paltry number of points for this hotel, but then I realized something Disney probably realized before they even broke ground, the price per point here can be astronomical and they will get away with it. GCV sale is reportedly over $310+ per point on a 150 point minimum; how much is a 30 year contract gonna go for here? $325? Higher?

Not only astronomical cost…but the volume of points they sell means it will be hard to get.
I don’t see much of a point if it’s booked solid all the time.
The whole problem with dvc is this: they are not building enough park attractions/draws to make it worthwhile…there’s a hole in the bucket and it’s been leaking for going on 20 years. That’s the real problem.

Looks nice enough but what is the theme? An upscale Marriott on Disneyland hotel property?

To be fair this one blends pretty well with the other towers of the Disneyland hotel and the style in general.

Exactly. I’ve seen so many comments about the “lack of theme,” but the Disneyland Hotel itself has never really been themed. One could say it’s themed to Disneyland, but it’s very subtle.
Not sure what people were expecting, but I agree that this new tower matches what’s already there.

5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
The price per point will be $217. They never price active resorts based on sold out resorts. Plus they have 4 million points to sell, this will be their 4th resort they’re actively selling, and DVC isn’t exactly selling like hotcakes right now.
Also VGC has come way down from its brief ludicrous flirtation with $300, you can find contracts now under $250
Now the VDH point chart, that might be crazy.

So, the plan is to sell this as a DVC resort, but it will open for bookings before you can buy points?

Theyre not going to sell all 4 million points in a month, or even a year. So they’ll have a lot of inventory to rent for cash at first.

Sure, I understand that concept. Typically the points are on sale sooner.
I guess my end goal with my comment was to understand when the points will go live for sale.

In their defense, from my hillside perch in OC that area on July 4th and New Year's Eve often had some of the best displays of illegal fireworks smuggled in from Tijuana of the entire county.
There was fireworks kerfuffle that rivaled it south in Santa Ana, but the flatlands of western Anaheim always puts on a good fireworks show!

They’re selling timeshares for high cost to go to packed parks…IF you can get in.
The actual stunning trajectory of how Bobdom has turned the park trajectory in just 10 years is amazing
It’s a numbers problem…why is the only park project under construction in the US a Moana statue with a garden hoss attached to it?
These are becoming hard realities. And the management has failed to strengthen its core product.
