Thats the worst thing about Disney fandom. People think the removal of literally any thing is 'the end' or 'the worst' or whatever. It can be any change, big or small, and you'll find people that say they'll never go again because of it.
Buying resale also gets you in on a shorter term. Try it out for 5 or so years, and if you really want to, buy studio level or whatever it's called as an original owner.
Beach Club before and after. I think people who complain about the updates they're doing at resorts across the board are nuts.
Umm, not sure where you are getting this from. Whether you buy direct or resale, you are good until the expiration date of that resort. There is also no such thing as buying "studio level".
The DVC contract end date for BCV is Jan 31, 2042. Depending on when you bought in, you could easily make more than you paid for it initially.
Ummm, 3 of the longhouses are already DVC. If they want to add more DVC to the Poly, it would be a lot cheaper to just change over a few more of the longhouses, rather than build a whole new tower. That way, the number of guests would be similar to now, and not overwhelm the staff.
Oh trust me, I'm not knocking the soft goods in rooms at all. That's one of the weirdest complaints I see on the boards. I think the value proposition for our family is diminishing for a lot of reasons, but I would not say we hate updates to the units. We personally have never had a problem with a DVC unit I can remember, whereas we have had deluxe rooms with problems at WL and GF.
On the first point, I was saying that by buying resale, you would get a shorter lease term than buying at the original level, and when I meant studio level, I was implying you go on for a contract with the smallest number of points (I believe it's 150?). On the third point, the thread is about adding inventory to the Polynesian by replacing Luau Cove with rooms, no?
True, buying resale could result in a shorter overall contract term, but my impression from your statement is that you can still buy at the original level. That, of course, is not true.
The only thing that infuriates me about this is the decorative, rather than functional "quilt". (And this holds for any resort/hotel that goes this route.)
I think even that little runner is gone now. My understanding is that this was a cleanliness decision rather than a design choice. The white bedding can be cleaned more often and more thoroughly (i.e. bleached) than the colored bedspreads.
True. The germaphobes were loudly complaining about the bedspread when it was reported that it wasn't being washed in between guests. So Disney's answer was to remove them. People need to be careful what they complain about with Disney, because in a lot of cases, something will simply go away.
So true.
Then give us white comforters that can be washed with the sheets. It's really annoying having to ask for extra blankets with EVERY resort/hotel stay.
You'll get that option with the new rollout of Be Our Guest+. Paying $10/person per day will get your choice of 2 extra soft goods per stay. You can have a comforter and a pillow or 2 comforters, the choices are endless with Be Our Guest+.
Wait what? Are you serious?

I made sure to say *all* hotels/resorts to indicate that I'm aware it's the standard.
Well we know they stopped the Luau because it was not making “enough” money.
This is honker
How do we know it wasn’t making enough money? Did it stop before covid? When I was there in 2019 it looked pretty much sold out for our seating.
I saw a report someplace I think, it was literally reported the Luau is not returning because it was not profitable enough. Fake News?
Yes and fluffy beds feel more luxurious. Comforters can easily be washed. They just don't want the expense.
