There was so much availability! I switched my November trip. It made me curious - do we know what % of inventory in the resort studio building has been declared?

Silly question - does this mean half of the new points have already been sold?!

Silly question - does this mean half of the new points have already been sold?!

No, it means that only half of the new points can be sold, and more importantly, that half the new villas are available for points bookings by DVC owners. The other half still belong to DVD, which can put them out for cash. When DVD gets close to selling out that first half, they'll declare more villas into the condominium association, which will give them more points to sell and will give DVC owners more villas to book with points.

Do you think there will still be construction on the Big Pine Key DVC building in Dec?

Do you think there will still be construction on the Big Pine Key DVC building in Dec?

Big Pine Key should be finished by next month, as that's when the first reservations were available to book. However the other outer buildings with regular (non DVC) resort rooms will be getting refurbished next (I believe I read somewhere that Boca Chica is next; I think permits were filed.) I'm not sure what the timeline for all of the renovations to be completed will be - I guess it's possible something could still be going on in December, just depends how quickly they work.

Do some of the standard studios now contain 2 queen beds? If so, is there a special booking or just a request that needs to be made?

I believe 2 queen beds is standard for the new resort studios. It's a different category than the original deluxe studios when booking.

If you mean Standard VIEW, the standard view resort studios (in the new Big Pine Key VGF building) have 2 regular queen beds. I believe the standard view deluxe studios (in the original VGF building) have one regular queen bed and a second queen Murphy bed that folds out of the wall but has the same queen mattress as the regular bed. As above, the resort studios are a separate booking category from the deluxe studios booking category.
