Exactly. These room prices they put on are an excuse to justify the "immense savings" you get buy buying a DVC contract. The discounts have always been there, its like walking into a Kohl's department store, if you are paying the listed price and not getting it on sale or using a coupon, you are an idiot.
That’s what my family wants and we are very important. We like the pull down under the TV, too.
Mid to high 90's daily. Occasional dips below but not many.
You joke about the pull-down, but I think one of the reasons why 1 bedrooms are so low-demand relative to the studios is that there are many resorts where the studio sleeps 5 but the 1 bedroom only sleeps 4. Nobody is going to choose that unless they're desperate for a kitchen.
The impact of that proposal would be to screw over people with 100-150 point contracts, which currently are enough for a week or more in a studio. I can’t see that happening. It’s not really possible when they are building studio-only DVCs, which is happening here and basically happened at Poly. You can’t have a week in a studio at BoardWalk cost more than a week in a studio at Poly.
It's unfortunate that it would screw those people but I literally think it's an obligation in the membership agreement. They *must* balance demand.
I just don’t see it happening. You need to keep studios across all resorts in the same ballpark at a given season.
Yes, and they have only made the studios more appealing over time. I’ve yet to book a 1BR. We don’t cook on vacation, except for maybe an egg sandwich or easy Mac. We cook the other weeks of the year, not on vacation. So I have no need for a kitchen.
People already don't book the better views. That's another area where they need to make the reverse adjustment. Make it a smaller premium to upgrade your view.
I like to cook breakfast. It saves me a ton of time in the morning and I make better eggs than Disney does. But even paying cash, I would never book a one bedroom. We'd do standard rooms, FW cabins, or bring my parents along and jump to a 2BR.
Sure, they’ll do strange things with new hotels, but I think it is far more likely to maintain the status quo at the older ones. They can change everything in 2042, which isn’t that far off for Disney.
A literal selling feature of timeshares is the ability to get a week for a certain number of points. They say this to prospectives at the Best Kept Secret desks. If you told people 150-points would get them the week they visit, you can’t change that much.
Contemporary south is under full refurbishment right now. For at least the intermediate future...they’re not interested in driving pilings to replicate bay lake.
