Disney announced it was changing the name of the Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge to Boulder Ridge Villas at Wilderness Lodge. In keeping with that name change, the sales data charts now show ‘BRV’ instead of ‘VWL’ for this DVC resort.

Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows — The 159,001 points sold June 2016 was the second best month for sales for the Polynesian since sales began in January 2015. Since Disney began offering sales incentives in February 2016, the Polynesian has averaged 153,012 points in monthly sales. Before the incentives were offered, the resort only averaged 78,868 points a month in sales.

The Polynesian has sold 40.9% of its 4,032,720 total points and it has just over 2,300,000 points left to sell to the general public. No Guaranteed Week deeds were sold in June 2016. So far, 88 Guaranteed Week deeds have been sold: 12 Guaranteed Week deeds for the bungalows, 50 deeds for the Lake View studios and 26 for the Standard View studios.

Disney Vacation Development has declared 218 studios and 16 bungalows for the DVC inventory. There are still 142 studios and 4 bungalows that have not yet been declared. In terms of points, 62.88% of resort is now officially part of the Polynesian’s DVC inventory.

Another declaration might be necessary within the next few weeks. At the end of June, 2016 Disney Vacation Development had about 887,000 declared-but-unsold points left on hand. If sales continue at the same rate as since March 2016 (153,012 points), Disney Vacation Development has enough points on hand for less than six months of sales.
