I wonder how many 2042 OKW contracts there are and the age of the owners
Disney will not give them the option to pay dues and will not accept payment is my guess.I'm no legal expert on the topic, but yes they would need to pay their dues to still access the product, like all other owners. The real question is if DVC will try to lock out the owner's who haven't paid the extension, even if they continue to pay their dues (or maybe DVC won't give them the option online to continue paying dues... who knows).
The number of remaining owners will be small and much older than your average DVC owner. Disney will offer nothing and just wait to see if a class action lawsuit develops which I am betting wont happen.I think the real question is whether a handful of nonagenarians want to spend their remaining time and money suing a giant corporation.
I’m betting that when push comes to shove the answer will be no. Disney seems to be betting that as well.
Sorry, I think your arithmetic is wrong. 2042-2024=18, so January 31, 2042 is less than 18 years from today. You might have calculated from now to 2057?2042 is 33-34 years away,
I calculated from 2007 to estimate the ages of those who might still have qualifying contracts. I'll edit the post to make that more clear.Sorry, I think your arithmetic is wrong. 2042-2024=18, so January 31, 2042 is less than 18 years from today. You might have calculated from now to 2057?
You must have received diferent extension paperwork than I did. There was no "obvious" reference to a "lock out" in any of the papers I received. The notarization may or may not be an easy process depending on your personal circumstances.
It'll only require one or two of them to be retired lawyers. Popcorn at the ready!I think the real question is whether a handful of nonagenarians want to spend their remaining time and money suing a giant corporation.

It will still cost a lot of money for a lawsuit that can be dragged out and there would have to be enough people to sign on for a class action to make it worth while for an outcome that is not guaranteed. Retired or not, I don't think any lawyer ( especially one that is retried) is going to want to bear the expense of a lawsuit on their own. We will most likely get a preview of what Disney intends to do a few years before the 2042 expiration date. I will assume Disney will stop assessing the 2042 contracts for the general fund for any maintenance and repairs that they estimate for 2043 and beyond.It'll only require one or two of them to be retired lawyers. Popcorn at the ready!
