C cay is a overgrown sandbar without any cover, water, or any natural beauty or features. Everything is brought on and off by Disney every trip and they manufactured the limited recreation and beaches that are there.
Contrast that with Oahu that can support year round population, has natural beauty, recreation, has commerce, and other people bringing what you need, etc
Diamond head vs the rocky brush of c cay? There is no comparison

When I talked with the CMs on C Cay they said they hid in the buildings at night for the most part because of the bugs that came out. That could have just been their way of making sure I didn't "accidentally" miss the boat when it left.

Not that CC could ever be comparable to a Hawaiian island...
..but have you done the kayak tour on CC? It takes you off the beaten path to areas not accessible to day guests. The kayaking takes you into the mangroves. Very different from the manufactured beach areas. Most definitely not something Disney placed there. Also, the beach areas you see during the tour are not really messed with by Disney. They don't feel too altered.
No, I don't think building on CC is a good idea at all. There's not enough there to support a resort. How would guests even get there??? Plus, it'd take away from that highly touted DCL experience, the special-ness of a day on their private island.
I think a Caribbean resort would be nice. There's plenty of islands that have airports and other services established. Not so sure how well it'd sell... I don't see it ever happening.

A Caribbean resort would be nice. But, until they build one, I would recommend staying at a Beaches Resort. We stayed at Beaches Resort in the Turks and Caicos over spring break this year and it was amazing! The landscaping and theming of the buildings was very Disney-esque. The food quality and choices were great and the customer service was top notch.

They could sell DVC in the Caribbean because its close to the customer base and would provide a year round location. There are tons of timeshares all over the Caribbean that sell without the built in guest base DVC has.
Using their current island isn't a great option. I'm thinking somewhere like the Bahamas or a place like St Martin. St Martin already has a cruise ship port, established shopping and restaurants plus the beach.

And yet if there's short term profit for $DIS, it would happen in a second...

They will have to pay extra to the Bahamas officials I think.
I am new in this thread. I do not know what the DVC offers at WDW. If they take over a resort, can the general public not be able to book a room?
A bed and a bath is all my wife really need, but are open to options. I prefer to stay on property, I feel more secure, and enjoy bus service.
I would pay a more if I was guaranteed some perks that fit into what I wanted. Would appreciate any advice.
Would prefer to hear from you guys in the booths at the parks.

From what is being described, they would take over a portion of the rooms of a resort, but there would still be rooms available to the general public (aka Non-DVC members). At this point, they are currently turning some rooms at The Polynesian into DVC rooms and also building some new villas. The rumor is that some rooms at the Wilderness Lodge will be taken over and converted to DVC, but not all rooms. There are still many, many non-DVC rooms so no need to fear not being able to book a room!
You can actually book at a DVC resort, too, it is just very pricy unless you rent directly from an owner. It is unknown if the moderate resorts will be affected at some point so there is only rumor and speculation.I hope this helps!

Check out the DVC section of the board. There are lots of threads on what DVC is, how it works and if it's worth it.
DVC resorts generally have both studios (which are about the same size as a standard hotel room) and much larger 1BR, 2BR and even 3BR villas. The villas have full kitchens, separate living and bedroom spaces and a washer and dryer in every room. If you are just looking for a bed and a bath the studios would be more than enough. They usually have a queen bed plus a pullout couch and a kitchenette.
My thoughts as well. ... For a Four Seasons, the place seems ... pretty ordinary. Sure, some pics of the public areas are artsy and nice, but in general it's very BLAH!
I dunno and I dunno if it has been answered yet. ... My guess is yes for EMH and no for 60-day FP.
My guess is that the Four Seasons guests will get FAR superior Guest Service than a WDW deluxe guest.
I think unless you are taking a MK only vacation, the monorail resorts are not at all convenient for most of WDW. Four Seasons has location as well.
Why?
Swan and Dolphin and most DD Hotel Plaza locales have it ... one of those best-kept secrets as folks go crazy trying to book Chef Mickey's or Cindy's Royal It Will ALways Be King's Stephan's Banquet Hall To Me.
It's a mix. Some services are from RCID and some are from O.C.
Used to be?
They used to be something like $15-19 when they started. At least the Christmas parties, which started well before the Halloween ones.
