I stayed at the Poly many times in the 70's and 80's, and nothing about that tower is like staying at the current Poly resort, but the Grand Floridian DVC building is identical to the original Hotel, same with Bolder Ridge at The Wilderness Lodge, and Bay Lake Tower is "similar" to the...

I'm sure you'll ignore this again and repeat your own opinions, but Those of us who've been DVC members for 20 years before you joined don't think think the DVC is so great at the Poly

Availability depends on what your booking and when, an Old Key West Grand Villa at Christmas time is something you need to book 11 months out, Wilderness Lodge and Bay Lake Tower are hard to get in the summer... I'm not sure why people love a single room with 2 showers so much, 2 bedrooms have...

But any existing DVC member can book there, that was the whole idea of "The Club" but every new offering is a little less impressive than the original offerings... Copper Creek is a nice place to stay though, huge improvement over the first Ploy DVC options

The post quoted was a response to my one of "my" earlier quotes

Actually it was $15 a point in the beginning, and if they didn't want us they shouldn't have had 50 year contracts

That's exactly right... DVC was originally marketed as home away from home... "The Welcome Home" Gretting started at Old Key West and now is something they say everywhere on property... but "hotles don't ask you to make a 50 year commitment... it's evolved into what most people accuse timeshares...

Everything you said gave me that information... Thinking that buying into a club with yearly dues for an old hotel room with 2 showers was the biggest red flag But the good news is now that you've acknowledged that you're the problem maybe you can take steps to change Because you're clearly...

Their target pricing is leaving most of those buildings half empty, which is why they're turning them into DVC... they don't want to accept the fact that they aren't The Ritz of The Four Seasons, they're "a place to for families to stay while they go ride roller coasters and meet cartoon characters"

WOW! I can't think of a polite way of telling you that you're clearly part of the problem... but if you want to spend your points on "a hotel room with 2 showers?" you're part of the problem... most of us want more than that, that's why the biggest rooms, Old Key West being the biggest, go the...

So judging by this concept art this is "roughly" what they're going to do... destroy Laua Cove and build a high rise with a tiny footprint in it's place which in no way looks or feels like The Polynesian VILLAGE Resort that people have known an loved for 50 years So it's slightly better than...

Umm? No! Epcot was to be as a kind of permanent World's Fair, the idea was THAT THIS STUFF YOU SEE HERE WILL BE HAPPENING SOON IN THE REAL WORLD! ...Everything in Horizons was some late 70's, prototype technology from General Electric, as was the Carousel of Progress, and the old RCA Home of...

The pandemic has been devastating for many businesses, including Disney's Theme Parks... but I think they are doing a really poor job of trying to "recover financially" from it right now. The reason it's so poor I think, is because for the past decade or more, the place has been run by people...

Changing the Imagination pavilion of the 80's is the most disappointing thing, it needed "updating" not "replacing" ...if they put it back to how it was in the 80's it'd still be a great ride. I loved Horizons, but by the mid 90's it was clear this wasn't "a plausible future we would see in...

We flew into to Tampa once because the airfare was better, and the drive to WDW isn't that bad, but with Orlando Intentional being closer it's just is easier and quicker... now that's there no Magical Express it's kind of going to be a hassle though and rental car prices are crazy at Orlando...

"Timeless" is something that appeals to "society" over time, and remains relevant over time, like stories of Ancient Greek Mythology for example What you're describing are things that are "personal/sentimental" that appeal to "individuals" for individual reasons... like I personally loved the...

I'm afraid of heights will never get in one of those things. If they became the only form of transportation at WDW? I'd stop going

Basic concepts tend to be "timeless" so things like "Pirates", "Ghosts", "Singing Birds", "Singing Bears", "Mountains with Roller Coasters in them" are all "simple concepts that anyone can grasp and don't change over time" or different aspects of culture or history that have already lasted for...

The Epcot from 1982 died in the mid 90's when most of the corporate sponsors declined to renew their 15 year contracts, only GM/Chevrolet has been there from the beginning... but EPCOT '82 was supposed to be a "Permanent World's Fair" and a "World's Fair" was basically what today is called a...

This statue SHOULD NOT be built at Epcot, and the name "Dreamer Point" is extremely disingenuous... Walt was dreaming of his Progress City while lying in his death bed, he wasn't dreaming about roller-coasters based on comic book characters and ways to monetize Disney IP... I understand why they...
