My hope is that as demand softens (DVC just launched a new 40% off for your friends! promotion this week), Disney (the hotel side) will have sufficient motivation to crack down because commercial renters are getting $30-40/pt renting AKV and BWV, and that’s money that their “guests” aren’t spending at moderate/deluxe hotels. This will become even more imperative when new PVB owners are furious they can never get standard view rooms in the tower (I assume RIV and CFW are slightly less awful because direct points don’t make sense for commercial rentals…but perhaps the fire sale on OKW will start to cause headaches there as well).Unfortunately unless Disney sees it as a major hit to their bottom line they don't care.
Disney is terrible about spending the extra effort to block scripts that allow people to snag rooms and dining reservations— I’ve heard rumors that some people have scripts for VQs as well. I was going to say that maybe people should have to call for the first 24 hours at the 11mo mark, but I suspect we are already at a point where someone could spin up a network of “virtual assistants” who could competently manage a DVC booking script.
