Has anyone noticed?

If you're talking about posts here you're looking at a very, very small sample.

It's not just here, I've seen it in multiple places.

I don't know how long this will last trying to rely on first timers and upsetting your repeat visitors.

Timeshares are overrated. Even time share king , Siegel can’t even get his 90K square foot mansion a few miles from WDW nicknamed “Versailles” finished completion. Construction started in 2004.

Some dude taking forever to build a house has nothing to do with Disney Vacation Club which has a new property actively under construction right now.

Goals of the day:
1. Shower
2. Run over no one on the way to/from school
3. Read someone saying that “timeshares are dumb” or “paying for rooms is smart” when they didn’t buy dvc when it was cheap/a good deal


…yep…I’m good

…it depends on how much growth is in Colorado over the next few years…

Hope they’re building new McMansions and Amazon warehouses…for Disneys sake

I don’t either. I think they’re going to have to come up with a better balance. We enjoyed our trips immensely in 2018 and 2019. This current system is nowhere near as good for us.

Those years were a hot mess as far as crowd levels…not that it’s better now.

And fastpass+ is not coming back. It’s over, Johnny

I'm still don't understand why they went with all these changes park wise after Covid. I know FP+ had to go as it wasn't working anymore but everything else has made things worse.

my DVC has been a home run........paid $99 for 330 points in 2010 in the secondary market at BLT..............Been over a dozen times..........and now its worth almost 2x what I paid for it...........WDW timeshares are a different beast altogether, I'll take it

Much worse.

 

[SingleRider]

Has anyone noticed the change of tone on these forums lately?

I'm definitely not seeing the negativity as much, people seem generally happier with Disney as a whole....

If you agree with this could you give your opinion on what you think has changed?

If I had to guess I’d say it’s because Chapek is out.

That will change once the honeymoon for Iger ends.

Mine was about $60 per…
…the rack prices are beyond stupid.

Turned out to be the right decision…no guarantee at that time though. First 15 years or so of dvc were very pro-customer…it’s slid backwards since…

Wonder why?

That’s likely the one thing you can mostly put on chapek…

He’s a low talent $hit peddler…nothing more. Corporate malfeasance to have him running more than the gift shop in dinoland.

Iger will do his two years at the same time the Board will have to look for his replacement which seems to be a mighty task to identify ANY outside candidate .

I don't know how many. I have seen a lot more posts from DVC members then I have before.

I would wager, are people who bought a lot of points anyway. Are they skipping the parks the whole year? I doubt that. They are the perfect kind of guest for Disney. They own a ton of points, still show up at the resort, probably buying drinks at the pool bar and meals here and there. Take up no space at the already crowded parks. And they get their money from this customer no matter what, kind of the beauty of that time share.

One Guess.... drum roll please

Yep your correct .... no other questions please have a good day

Well that’s the best case scenario for them…for sure.

I’m not a renter…but what I’ve seen from renters (as in point lords) is they start out saying they’ll rent part and keep going…but the cash and the fact their eyes tend to wander pulls them farther away from this description over time.

Iger has to go…

This is my “Lock of the week” prediction of the century. And I never miss on those.

So if you don’t want to hear it…don’t make me say it/Ignore me/get me banned.

Public service announcement

(this was not directed to you, Vegas…just a general announcement)

Not exactly a risky bet.
