I do think you are putting too much stock on the verbage included in the video. This has been discussed in the VDH thread. There is precedent to think nothing of that verbage: this same thing happened when VGF2 was teased (before we knew the actual price). Many people were doing similar calculations based on the numbers included in the boiler plate message and that turned out to be wrong. What ended up happening was that the resort began sales at the same base price as other active sales resorts and there was no last minute increase on the base price. Look at the old VGF2 pricing threads and you'll see.
I am just taking what little DVC information that has been coming out so far this year, combining it with the historical trends, and speculating on possible outcomes that may affect the Poly2 pricing in 2024.
I believe that is what this thread is for.
I have not been reading any VDH threads as I have no interest in the California resorts.
For those that are interested in VDH, I hope that the pricing lines up more towards the AUL, RR and VGF price and not towards the price that they last sold VGC direct at, but I fear that will not be the case.
As for VGF2, I was one of the very few that expected the direct pricing to come down and line up with the other active resorts, was prepared for it, and bought direct there on day 1 because of that pricing change.
There was, however, an increase on the base direct pricing for active resorts from 201 to 207 right when VGF2 went on sale last March.
I would not call it a last minute increase, its just that the timing for the next price increase and the opening of VGF2 sales were aligned, and I am expecting the same timing alignment to happen this summer with the opening of VDH sales.
The possible price range that was stated at the end of the video, while not officially set and subject to change, does appear to support this conclusion of another price increase on or before the start of VDH sales.
I believe that this price increase will happen and continue the historical trend, affecting Poly2 pricing, and that is the primary reason that I have brought it up and discussed it here.
