Disney Vacation Club has recently suspended of sales for the Polynesian Villas & Bungalows, a beloved monorail DVC resort. Let’s provide an in-depth look at this development, and see what this may mean for buyers at Polynesian Villas & Bungalows.
Halt in Sales: A Closer Look
The DVC has temporarily ceased selling points for the Polynesian Villas & Bungalows, a decision that was implemented on February 15, 2024. This announcement was unexpected, as no official reason was given for this decision. While the resort has been in “sold out” status for years, DVC continued to offer points at the Polynesian for $250 per point with no incentives, but has halted that practice recently.
However, it’s important to understand that this is not an unprecedented move, as the DVC has previously suspended sales for other properties with ongoing additions in the past. Prior to the Big Pine Key building being added into DVC at the Grand Floridian, Disney halted sales for that resort as well.
Impact on Current Members
This decision does not affect current DVC members who already own points at the Polynesian, existing owners can, of course, continue to use their points as usual. For those members wishing to acquire more points at the Polynesian, they will have to wait until sales resume or consider purchasing them on the resale market.
Effect on Potential Buyers
For potential DVC members who had been considering the purchase of points at the Polynesian, this news may come as a disappointment. However, it does not completely eliminate the possibility of ownership. Interested buyers still have the option to purchase points via the resale market, which can represent a significant savings when compared to the retail prices offered by Disney directly.
Looking Forward: What’s Next?
While the suspension of sales at the Polynesian Villas & Bungalows might seem concerning, it’s important to remember that the DVC has suspended sales for other resorts in the past. These suspensions were temporary, and sales eventually resumed. Therefore, there’s a possibility that the sales for the Polynesian Villas & Bungalows might resume in the future. However, as of now, there is no specified date for when this might occur.
Conclusion
The Disney Vacation Club’s decision to halt sales of points for the Polynesian Villas & Bungalows has undoubtedly caused waves in the DVC community. However, it’s crucial to remember that such decisions are often temporary and could be indicative of future enhancements or changes.
In the meantime, current members can continue to enjoy their points, and potential buyers can explore other options, like the resale market. As always, we will continue to provide updates on this situation as more information becomes available.
