The incentives for new members to purchase and for existing members to add-on has changed.
The previous developer points incentives for BLT/AKV have been replaced with a free cruise on Disney Cruise Line:
- Add on 100 points: a 3 night cruise for 4 people (160 for new members)
- Add on 125 points: a 4 night cruise for 4 people (200 for new members)
- Add on 200 points: a 7 night cruise for 4 people (270 for new members)
We are going to check into DVC membership when we are there in April.
WOW! That's quite a jump in incentives! I'm almost speechless!
Maybe cruisline bookings are severely down......
I feel jipped:(. I attended a DVC open house yesterday and they did not offer me this.
Guess I jumped too soon at those builder points. Definitely would have rather had the free cruise.
Holy cow!:jaw:
Any idea how long this is going to last?
Dang that's pretty impressive. I'm thinking about adding additional points, but not ready at this point to do it. I would like a cruise though.
I don't know. I'm pretty happy with the developer points. For my 160 points under the new plan, I'd get a 3 day cruise. I took the developer points and will be using them in May for a 10 day trip with the kids at Saratoga Springs. We've been on cruises before so I'll take the 10 days over 3 days anytime!
Cost wise, the criuse is a better deal. $160 developer points would get you like $1760 if you were able to "rent" them. The cruise much more than that for 4 people.
Renting SSR points is probably going to not be easy this coming year, I don't think the $11 a point is going to hold.
But, if you're not interested in the cruise, then DP are still good.
I agree that from a pure value perspective the cruises are a better deal, but at the end of the day our 200 developer points are going to pay for the majority of a week plus in one of the treehouses (assuming we can get in!) so I'm okay with that.
:jaw::eek: Holy cow! Wish we could buy an add-on...:( I have never been on a cruise and would absolutely love this! :(
I know they are offering this for the Villas at the Grand Californian as well. My Uncle is adding CA to his FL ones.
