WDW Permits 2014

[danlb_2000]

Interesting. We'll have to see if they file permits for each of the other islands or if some are left out.

There was already a permit early in the year for room rehabs in all the other buildings...

Lodge Building #1100, #1200, #1300, #1400, #1500, #1600, #2100, #2200, #2300, #2400, #2500, #2600, #3100, #3200, #3300, #4100, #4200, #4300, #4400, #4500, #4600, #5100,#5200,#5300,#5400,#5500,#5600 - Room Rehab

Well then there's the answer. Maybe DVC will come at a later time, but there most likely are no current plans.

From a marketing standpoint, it would seem easier to sell a stick-built standalone resort (at about the same construction cost per point) than try to convert existing Moderate rooms into a DVC footprint---particularly at the least-popular Moderate.

Agreed. That's part of the reason I was skeptical when the rumor was originally reported. One of the given reasons was that the rooms at CBR weren't selling so they could reduce overall hotel capacity and make a quick profit on selling converted rooms. One of the big issues is CBR being moderate not deluxe. Do you sell the points for the same price as the DVC additions connected to a deluxe resort? It might be a tough sell if I'm comparing buying points at Poly, GF or CBR. The rumor was that they were going to connect the resort to EPCOT directly via boat making it an "EPCOT Resort". I think that may have helped, but it would still not be an easy sell.

Only thing worse was when @Tom told me what a lift station is.

It's a Mike Rowe thing , Lots and lots of pooh...

 

[BalooChicago]

Friend's house had a lift station for their neighborhood back up into their basement. When they emptied it out, the ductwork collapsed, as it was, ugh, full.

They moved.

 

[SosoDude]

Yeah, I sell lift stations as part of my job. Glamourous, I know.

Like they say in the plumbing business, poop runs down hill, unless you have a lift station.

Good stuff. Keep up the good work

MK makes sense since FLE was still under construction for the full year 2013. I would have thought Avatar would have added a bunch to AK in 2014. DHS...the calm before the storm.

Here's to 2015 being a big construction year.

Most of the AK construction is being covered under large blanket permits.

That makes sense. I assume the DHS stuff will end up being similar.

Makes sense since P&R reinvestment in 2014 was around 9.6% according to @ParentsOf4 so necessarily permits would decline as well.
