Easily verifiable... I have included the points chart for 2013.
This is directly from the financing offer sheet provided before my purchase:
Vacation Points Purchasing
$145.00/point
for current members only (This was a limited time purchase option for DVC members only)
2013 Annual Dues $5.4100/point
The items in italics are my additions.
The current price point is at $150 and is probably on the way up again. So the math is right. It costs $176,100 to buy these points if you want a shot at the "Highest Price Weeks". What is even worse is paying the premium of the guaranteed week at those numbers.
At the rate of sale for VGF, I would speculate that the "Developer Mouse" is going to place an even higher premium on points at Poly. I would not be surprised at a starting rate of $160 per point. Until I see some real park development though, the "Developer Mouse" is not getting any more of my pennies.
If they do put those bungalow over the water of the lagoon, sight lines will be the least of my worries. Sinking things is easy in Florida. The last thing I would want to wake up to is a floating bed and a swim in the lagoon in the middle of the night. Bugs and critters hold little appeal for me too...
(Relax usual suspects, this paragraph is in jest. It's only funny because it's possible.)
It is very sad to see something so well themed become less so. I do hope that a
replacement water feature is a greater themeing element. If not,it isn't a surprising outcome.
I will always remember my stay at the Poly. The fireworks, the lagoon light parade on the water, and the feeling of being even farther away from the ordinary world. Oh the things that tear at the heart are the things for which a word was crafted, Nostalgia.
