Listing prices...which vary based on the size of the contact...as you know.
The economy hasn’t even shown the damage in real numbers yet.
We’ve gone from zero to full open in a matter of a few weeks across the country. Once you open the faucet it’s hard to ramp back down and we hit a holiday weekend too. No use fighting it. Just embrace it and pray for a positive outcome.
3 years and up.
2 years and under are not required to wear masks.
Dear Disney Vacation Club Member, A little more than two months ago, I shared with you the details of our company’s plans to temporarily close our parks and resorts, pause cruises and make other changes because of COVID-19. While this time apart has been challenging for all of us, physical-distancing efforts around the globe have helped slow the spread of the virus and have allowed Disney to plan for a gradual reopening. We began earlier this month with the phased reopening of Shanghai Disneyland and Disney Springs at Walt Disney World Resort. Today, Disney CEO Bob Chapek announced additional plans including the expected reopening of Disney’s Vero Beach Resort and Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort on June 15 and all Disney Vacation Club properties at the Walt Disney World Resort on June 22. This is fantastic news and yet another positive step forward – for our Members, guests and our Disney teams. As we prepare to welcome you home, we have assessed every aspect of the resort experience – from pre-arrival to housekeeping to recreation – with your safety and that of our Cast Members as our top priority. A summary of what you can expect during your next visit is posted on the Disney Parks Blog. Some of the operational adjustments include:
Our Members and guests will also play an important role in helping prevent the spread of illness. Like our Cast, all Members and guests will be asked to wear face coverings in public resort areas when not eating or drinking and to respect physical distancing. Members and guests are also strongly encouraged to check in remotely through the My Disney Experience app, frequently wash their hands and use cashless payment options. More details about these operational adjustments, including offerings that may remain temporarily suspended at individual resorts, are available online at disneyworld.com. While these adjustments may make the places you call “home” feel a little different for the time being, we will continue to make adjustments as the situation evolves. As you may be aware, it was also announced today that Walt Disney World Resort submitted a proposal to government officials in Florida describing our approach for a phased reopening of Walt Disney World Resort theme parks planned to begin on July 11. Reopening dates for The Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa as well as Aulani, Disney Vacation Club Villas, Ko Olina Hawai’i have not been determined, and we will share updates about those resorts just as soon as we’re able. Members wishing to alter their existing resort reservations may do so online at disneyvacationclub.com or contact Member Services for assistance. Finally, as part of our continued efforts to provide flexibility during these uncertain times, we are further changing and extending our temporary policies regarding expiring points. April, June and now August, September and October 2019 Use Year points that are set to expire in 2020 and that were used for reservations during the closure period will be extended for one year from the current expiration date. Additionally, April, June and now August, September and October 2018 Use Year points that were banked into 2019 Use Years and used for these reservations will now all expire November 30, 2020. This temporary policy only includes expiring points that were used to book a stay arriving between March 12 and the end of the closure period and that involve a reservation cancelled after February 29. Additional information on these policies is available at disneyvacationclub.com. All of us at Disney Vacation Club thank you, not only for your patience and understanding but for the many well wishes we’ve received during our closure. The reopening of these resorts is an encouraging step forward, and our Cast couldn’t be happier to welcome you home. To borrow words from a familiar tune, there’s a great big beautiful tomorrow, and tomorrow is just a dream away! | ||
See you real soon, | ||

Did they just say to hell with it and open the floodgates, or are there restrictions in place? (Honestly haven't followed Georgia much because I'm nowhere near there.)Georgia’s reopening was supposed to be a disaster since they were not really meeting any metrics. It has been a month now and has not turned crazy or dire. Not perfect but not the mess that many predicted.
A month after reopening, Georgia coronavirus cases continue slow and steady
A month since Georgia took some of the earliest and most extensive steps to reopen parts of its economy, Covid-19 cases have largely flattened in the state, albeit with a slight recent uptick.www.cnn.com
Of course they are. The only people being naive here are the ones thinking any of this is based on data or science. The original CDC and federal guidelines are out the window. Like I said just embrace it and hope and pray for the best.
I hope for the positive as well. However, seeing how people in Lake of the Ozarks (where there was no social distancing what so ever) handled this. Seeing how people are refusing to where masks, there will be an increase in cases. The increase will be geometric, and we will be looking at another lock down.

So let's look at the facts then:
| Resort | Average Selling Price in 2018 | Approx. average from today |
| Animal Kingdom | $107 | $108 |
| Bay Lake Tower | $130 | $144 |
| Beach Club | $129 | $147 |
| Boardwalk | $112 | $114 |
| Boulder Ridge | $104 | $102 |
| Grand Floridian | $144 | $162 |
| Old Key West | $86 | $100 |
| Polynesian | $138 | $140 |
| Saratoga Springs | $98 | $104 |
We would be going as part of a convention, hotel is free, already have an ap. So I could easily justify it.
This is a big question of mine.I’m assuming park hopping is out of the question
That's my concern, too. Yes, we need to re-open, but we need to do so carefully and in smart ways...not by basing our behavior on what we WANT things to be like.
Of course I'm not saying that DVC never goes down. Please quote where I have stated this. I said you were wrong in your prediction that prices would fall, and you seem to be the person ignoring reality.
Hey man. Thanks. I’ll take that win.Since the other thread was closed before I could get this in I’d like to congratulate the 286 other posters who also picked July in the poll. This proves (at least in my case) that a broken clock really is right twice a day
edit: I expect to see at least 286 likes on this post
