I know you’ve always peddled this “add-on to CBR” theory.
I don’t. There is no way they send everyone over to CBR to use their feature pool, or for a QS. For all sorts of reasons, but mainly because that is not the way to market DVC, it opens a can of worms which makes it impossible to balance cost per point, MFs and points charts with the DVC framework. Plus the “flagship” comments.
You know? ...oh do tell. I don’t recall peddling that theory here...
Well...you Have to assess based on the informational available. And that’s where it points - for now.
If you look at it: the “overpriced corridor” is lining up in spectacular fashion.
It was started with AoA...the most overpriced rooms in Disney history. Followed by moving moderates (cringe) to rack rates of almost $300 a night and rising...now the first ever “mod squad” DVC...and pop will follow after ski lift...perhaps a redo before that one?
Here’s where my basis comes from: spending dimes on DVC services is like pulling teeth. It is viewed as a “drag/loss” on profits. They HAVE to add some stuff...but what? And the Caribbean Work is 100% not a coincidence...multiple motivations for sure...but I’m gonna hold on 20 on my stance.
This thing is protruding into the lake and backing right into Martinique/OPR. (Unfortunately...I do know Caribbean like the back of my hand - it’s why I never go there
). Quite a coincidence indeed.
And if you recall - I assume, wasn’t here - the main discussion point on DVC at Caribbean (besides the stupid canal talk) was whether they CARE about the price point for amenity angle anymore? After all, isn’t it all about “location” now? That’s what is leaking and dusters are supporting. Who needs good food when you have a 190 sf “villa” and a hot box to mgm on a string for “rian Johnson: the experience”. (Oh...you get the point, I just can’t resist with such obvious tongue in cheek jokes)
Feature pool? Don’t see that being shared. But it could be a bland one like bay lake or wilderness 2.0.
Quickserve? Yeah I can see that shared. Absolutely.
1. Caribbean is losing 1/6 it’s capacity and has had the food area rehabbed twice in 16 years.
2. It’s too close for them to resist.
3. They can’t really be bothered to run quickserves except out of dire need at DVCs. Look at what okw has for 600 units? Or Saratoga for 1000?
4. The whole point of the ski lift is to flood people into the 2 parks where they already got about 15,000 employees toiling a day. Why add more than minimum food?
I mean...explain where any of this is unreasonable based on pattern and bucks?
