That's a heavy curve to grade on.Maybe, but given the restrictions, it’s much higher than most expected last year,
My point is that people love the resort and what it has to offer. They are buying it direct, and resale for a decent amount,
Again, for owners who have points that trade, getting it for less than direct to stay there is worth it for many.
Last year, I said I wouldn’t buy resale for $50/point. Now, I would if I can get it around $120 because I absolutely love the place and have only visited.
I don't think we have enough resale data yet to see where it will really settle. I just have a feeling it will be closer to SSR/OKW prices than most expect because the buyer pool for Riviera will be much smaller (if you're only going to own 1 resale contract... it is highly unlikely to be Riviera) and there are a lot of points out there.
It's funny because while this shouldn't, the lobby greatly impacts my opinion of resorts. I want to be wowed when I walk through the door and Riviera's lobby looks closer to a Marriott/Hilton property than what we have seen in recent years out of Disney.When it was under construction I was telling DH about the rumored theme and amenities and such and he flat out said he didn't care. This resort had all the things we were looking for and isn't as stuffy as VGF and has a longer contract than BCV. I do like the more streamlined aesthetic though I do find the furniture in the lobby to be an odd choice. Yes, the lobby is small, but I can honestly say the grandness of the lobby does not affect my vacation at all. I don't care what the lobby looks like when i'm playing with the kids on the pool slide.
