Me too. It has been a long time coming. It looks like they are moving at a steady pace too.

I agree. It's not like Disney is raising the level of service and amenities. Instead they continue to stagnate or decline. It takes years for them to build anything new. I would not enter a DVC contract today. Your dollars will go,so much further in many other wonderful destinations. The sad...

I think $160/pt kept me from buying into the Poly. Based on this increase, it is safe to say I have bought my last DVC points.

If I could cancel my trip at the end of the year I would. It will be my last for a while. I am sick and tired of pouring money into this company to consistently be disregarded as a customer. In the future I see my DVC being used as a home base, without really spending much time at the WDW resort...

Won't lower point trends lead to lower occupancy? It's a question, not a statement. If so, does that call into question the long term strategy of the DVC prioritzation? Sure you can hit revenue targets by jacking up prices, but won't that be offset if in the future, less people are coming...

There is a picture here http://dvcnews.com/index.php/resorts-48755/beach-club-villas-11244/news-71844/3243-beach-club-refurbishment

I think it is great that the refurb has gotten underway. I am encouraged by the pictures I have seen. I love the wood floor concept. I am a little uncertain how wanting your home resort to be well maintained and not in disrepair makes someone jaded. This refurb is long overdue.

Specifically, I don't know which budget it would come out of. Maybe they would use the housekeeping budget. Maybe there are discretionary funds available for use. I am not saying every complaint warrants upgrades or dinners. I want to point out that am not even saying my situation warranted...

Folks at DVCnews.com say the refurb at BCV villas has actually begun. There is still a little discussion as to whether any workers have actually been seen.

GoofGoof, we may just have different philosophy's on this. Having worked in the hospitality and service industry in my younger days, I feel making bad situations right are essential to consumer satisfaction and long term loyalty. I would have compt a room on my budget and worried about the...

I understand the differences in the rooms. I disagree that Disney couldn't have swapped my room with another villa that was in the cash inventory and then just rented mine out for cash once cleaned. They could have and should have. They should have done whatever was necessary to make the wrong...

I am starting to fall into this category myself. I know, I no longer recommend DVC ownership as an option to people I know. If I am asked about my ownership, I am very candid telling the good and the bad ( which lately is a growing list). Hopefully the refurb on BCV will start soon. I too am...

Thanks. I am assuming it is the rooms that face the existing villas, but don't know for sure. I am curious to know how many and where they are.

Where are the rooms located that are being converted to DVC?

This serves to reinforce my point of "It's not what they claim it is". If I were a customer and not an owner there would be a method of resolution. There still should be, even within the DVC model. Disney does hold its own DVC room inventory (these are the rooms that are available to rent, when...

It was frustrating to say the least. It was the first time it dawned on me that perhaps they don't value me as a customer as much as they used to. The sad thing is we have had some great vacations too. It just seems that the things that leap to the forefront of the mind is the negative ones. I...

We were staying at VWL (I may have omitted that from my above list of places we have stayed.) We were switching from a 1 BR to a studio. We decided to make. Pool day out of it since we didn't have anything to do until dinner. We grabbed a day bag for the pool and gave bell services our luggage...

Yes! On more than one occasion we have checked in to dirty rooms, dealt with rude and dismissive CMs, even been told after on particularly bad experience that since I was DVC there was nothing they could do to help resolve my issues. Basically sorry your trip stunk, see you next time sucker...

I am pleased your experience is different from mine. I have been going to WDW at least once a year since 1993. We stayed in deluxe resorts during this time. In 2009 we bought DVC believing the sales pitch. We own 2 home resorts, BLT and BCV but have stayed in 6 different DVC's. OKW, SSR, BLT...
