Yes, that is what I’m saying. Every property you stated is DVC. The timeline I referenced is for standard Disney resorts. DVC resorts operate on a different slower timeline. In other words they go larger gaps between refurbs. So your experience with DVC Resort refurbs is correct and is not a reflection on the standard Disney resort schedule.
This is a thread about Fort Wilderness non DVC cabins being converted to DVC cabins. The cabins have reached their lifespan for full replacement.
All of this is beside the point. You don't like "to the studs," fine. I'm not married to it. The point was (and remains), DVC resorts undergo full refurbishments that require major construction, and that this cycle is in no way unique to these cabins.
You're incorrect, the pre-covid DVC schedule is 7 years soft refresh, 14 full. Most conversions outside of VGF resort villas were actually stripped to the studs literally. For OKW & SSR in particular there is evidence they stripped to walls, not studs.
I totally understand your point now. I missed a step in what you were referring to and after this morning I get it
My apologies for missing that step and yes to the studs vs to the walls seems silly to talk once I stepped in it with another here.
Nothing I said was incorrect. I was referring to non DVC resorts. Which do 7 years hard, 3/4 years soft. DVC resorts do 14 hard, 7 soft. However, as I mentioned this was reduced a few years ago because it used to be a longer interval.
Sorry your posts have been very unclear in wording to me. I have read and reread them and honestly get confused with your points and what you are trying to say. Maybe it's me and I apologize. The cabins will be DVC and were never treated like a resort either. So not sure at all what resort rooms have to do with either DVC or the cabins. But I'm done trying to decipher. Enjoy your day.
So you are suggesting that a) Cabin DVC contracts will only be 25 years long; or b) DVC will sell 50 year contracts and keep enough money set aside from the initial purchase to guarantee replacement units will be delivered half way through the contract without substantial costs being charged to members via annual service dues; or c) DVC will provide, upfront, a warranty to buyers that the costs of replacement of the prefab modules will not be included in dues in the future; or d) DVC will discount the points purchase cost but add a caveat that replacement costs for replacement prefabs will be added to annual dues over the first 25 years of the contract; or e) the annual dues for 50 years will include a stated % that is intended to pay for new prefabs at the 20/30/35 year anniversary. There are probably other solutions to the issue, but DVC has to be upfront about what the solution is -- otherwise there is major risk being taken on by a would-be DVC purchaser at Cabins that is not present in any other DVC purchase.
I am suggesting Option E.
I agree. And I also think the usual 7/14 schedule will be altered slightly, so that they get a refresh after maybe 8 years, and then a refresh+ with new kitchen appliances and anything else that needs replaced at around 16 years. So that at 24/ 25 years they get replaced and they start again.
It's obviously E, it was only ever going to be E, and E isn't any more expensive than what they do in the "normal" resorts. There is no additional risk to the purchaser. There's no "issue" in need of a solution. Replacing trailers is not more expensive than gutting buildings. Manufactured buildings are not more prone to wind damage than site-built buildings.
You are very welcome. I appreciate your thanks. It is my pleasure
It's the bathing suit. Very slimming.
