That's not the way it works. A certain amount of those resorts have to be available for cash bookings per Florida law. They're not reducing DVC availability by any stretch, they may be converting the non-booked DVC rooms to cash rooms so that they can have more DVC rooms in the future.Disney sure doesn't advertise DVC ownership as nominal. When the possibility exists that DVC owners could be unable to book their resort because Disney gave the room to someone paying $100 a night, I think they have room to be very unhappy. It's tens of thousands of dollars to buy in and they get the short end of the stick on the regular. We looked to buy at one time and declined. I'm glad we did.
Same holds true with BC and YC . If the open BCV why not open everything there since they have to open the amenities anyway. Plus no transportation busses need for two of the parks because people can walk.It's true that only part of AKL is DVC, but if they have to open the DVC part of Jambo house they might go ahead and open the rest of that resort.

You pay thousands of dollars for a nominal ownership that allows you use in accordance with the terms and conditions. You don’t pay anything for the right to block others from staying or even getting a better deal occasionally. Sheesh.

Right. And if I recall, DVC members are the only ones that can currently still make reservations
Completely unknown. Disney hadn’t said anything. There are just some TAs who say they’ve been told this, but other TAs haven’t heard anything.So from what I've been reading on here, if we are booked at Boardwalk from August 8th-14th we are most likely going to be moved over to the Boardwalk Villas?
Time will tell.....The only amenity they probably have to open is the pool. DVC doesn't have a food court or qs options. It would be entirely possible to open BCV without opening the BC and the YC. At this point, I think it's almost a given they won't open both, regardless and a real chance SAB won't open at all.

Which they are not doing... Unless the use of the property by Disney blocks owners from using the property that they own a part of.
That is not official. It’s an email from a TAThis looks official to me
Legoland Florida opens today.

I wouldn't look to hear about resort details for a least a couple more weeks.Time will tell.....
Hopefully more info released this week.
We don't know if they're doing that or not.. members have the option to use their points on short notice. Say there was a run on DVC rooms by owners; what would Disney do for the confirmed cash reservations that they are intending to move to DVC properties? I don't see Disney playing that game.Which they are not doing
EDIT: I just checked and right now for July 11-18 and there is full availability on the DVC side for all resorts on WDW except for the Poly and Jambo house for 1 bedrooms. Some resorts have studios available for the whole week.
Did you have the free dining offer booked to get the 35%? My trip was affected by closures but I didn't have free dining so I assume they won't be giving anything to resort/park packages?FINALLY got my 35% off email that everyone else was getting. In my work email Friday.
