Castle's Conclusion
Tcool's Reviews
Initially I was unsure of where this project was going, but in my mind this project was steered into the right direction once the destination was chosen! I feel like going international was a great choice, and overall I really loved how everything was shaping up! However let's see if your idea still holds up, or has fallen from grace.
I feel that certain aspects of the resort were more focused on while other segment were left in the dust. Nothing truly made it stand out besides the Family Museum, and the ties to Walt Disney's past. I'm not sure if the general public would be interested into buying into the DVC if that is the main selling point for this French DVC. With many visitors to Disneyland Paris staying off property, many would likely choose to just stay in another hotel, or go to a timeshare off property.
Overall this project had a good structure, and if worked on a bit harder and if some of the kinks were worked out it would be a homerun in my books. However given that this project was well incomplete, and overall just missing something I have to say that I'm rather disappointed with the end result. During the brainstorming I was glad with the idea, but the execution was rather weak.

Admittedly going into this project I was unsure of the decision of the ski resort for DVC because well skiing is something that could only be done in a certain time of year. However these were my early thoughts, and as such let's see if you can convince me that a Ski DVC Resort is a good idea.
I like the reasoning behind a resort within Canada, and detailing on why it should be in Vancouver. However if the focus i on the Chinese based on their love of skiing what about the rest of the year? Who is this resort for during the skiing off season? Would this affect the aim at Chinese tourists, or would the focus shift to other markets?
With that said the detail within the project is astounding, and the attention to detail is great! I love how nothing is too small to get looked at, the budget, the map, room layout, etc. The Village sounds great, but as a whole I'm worried for the target audience, the Chinese. It would have been nice to see some Chinese cuisine, or even Chinese-Canadian fusion cuisine as a way to sell food to the Chinese if they do not feel too adventurous. Overall though I loved your village, and felt like it would be a fun place to shop at after a day of skiing. While the activities are great, and really highlight how this resort can become a great place to visit throughout the year. Also small nitpick on the pool, but it's only open for four hours with lifeguard on duty
Overall I really this DVC resort, and while the resort is fleshed out I do have some final concerns. Those concerns being its target audience when the Chinese don't want to visit, and how a visit during the summer can really be justified. By all accounts it sound like the resort should be best experienced in the winter time However, with that said I do like your resort as it is unique and overall very nice and a good quality.
