Second declaration in two weeks for Animal Kingdom Villas

[DVCNews]

On July 23, 2012, just two weeks after declaring 12 two-bedroom villas for the Disney Vacation Club inventory, Disney Vacation Development has declared another batch of villas at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas. This latest declaration adds five two-bedroom villas and five Grand Villas, representing 262,100 vacation club points, to the DVC inventory.

I'm not sure why DVD does several small declarations over a very short period of time instead of combining them into a single large declaration. I suspect DVD has a good feel on how quickly it will sell points. It probably already knew back in April that it would need to have 88.63% of AKV declared by July. In fact, it probably already has a schedule in place for when it will make the final declarations at AKV.

I would think that the smaller declarations make financial sense for them as it allows them to get cash reservations up until the declaration. If they did this in one large declaration these rooms would not make any money until sold by DVD. Any rumors on when they will begin sales for GFV, or when they will release any information regarding price, or potential point charts?

But even if DVD makes a single large declaration, it still owns the points until they are sold to the general public. DVD can use those declared-but-unsold points for cash reservations.

I haven't heard any word on when sales will begin for the new Villas at Grand Floridian. We are at WDW right now, and I've talked to a few of the Cast Members manning the DVC kiosks in the Parks. They all say basically the same thing: Opening in late 2013; 147 vacation homes. The CMs don't know, or at least won't say, when sales will begin. They don't even know if VGF will have Grand Villas. Right now, the specifics about VGF are "Disney's Best Kept Secret."

Feels like a big difference from BLT... I'm very curious about studio count & if there will be multiple view categories. Personally those are much more relevant than GVs. Of course the point chart is also a big deal. The waiting is the worst, but honestly VGC was harder since I did add-on there right at the start & currently have no reality linked plans for a VGF add-on... And with that kn mind the final question: Will I ever get a studio at 7 months?
