Yeah, but we still have to fill over 1,000 weekly rentals every year. Can that top group of DVC'ers really do that every year?
I have to imagine that the # of owners drops off a cliff once you get past 500-600 points. Seems like having 400ish is pretty regular.. but still blows my mind.
and I'm a guy who spends thousands on pure 'toys' for myself all the time.
It could also well be that people will rent these for shorter stays. Spend a weekend at the Poly, enjoy Trader Sam's Grotto, the pool , a massage at the GF's spa and dinner at Victory & Albert - oh and watching the fireworks from your plunge pool - and you have a perfect splurge weekend.
The interesting thing will be: Are they going to sell fixed weeks for the bungalows and will they have any takers. I am afraid that there will not be any way to find out, but that should tell us how well Disney reads its DVC market.
