Maybe I just misunderstood the criticism all along. Are you saying it's the DVCers, as in the people themselves, that the critics have a problem with? I always saw it as them implying that Disney does things to cheapen the resort experience when there's DVC present.
Sounds about right to me. Given the choice of pleasing my poor customers or my rich customers, I'm going to opt for the rich customer every single time.So it's definitely "bungalows" ala Poly DVC?
...It's so nice for Disney to be spending sooo much attention, time, and effort to build nice rooms only for the folks who have ridiculous amounts of spending money.
These closures aren't even close to shutting down 20% of the services at WL. All Disney is saying at this point is that the area from the beach, which includes a tiny playground and firepit along with chairs over through the hidden springs pool, will be walled off and unavailable. I'm sure the nightly movies that are shown on the beach will be moved, most likely to the indoor area in the villas as they do when it's expected to rain. I just got back and while there paid careful attention to the number of folk using the beach knowing that it was going to be gone the next time I'm there. Despite the crowds in the parks, there was almost no one there except at movie/campfire time, and even then the most I ever saw was about 14 people and it was very much dependent on the weather (one time it was only 2 adults with what I considered to be their two older teenage kids. Walking down toward rentals dock each day at various times of day I never saw anyone using the playground (it's very lacking to start with and needs an update.)
Are you complaining about your home resort receiving upgrades?Wonderful. So glad I booked a studio at WL for Princess Half Marathon weekend.
Can hardly wait to see next year's dues bill.
I'm sure they won't put anyone in a room facing construction. I'm also sure the treeline will get worse then better. Like the MK Hub project. We will use our points to stay at other villas by and large until this project is done.
I had a room on ground level looking out at the spot where the new structure will go (I assume/hope it will be a community hall) Tried making heads/tails out of the designs we've seen in relation to the tree line that's there right now and it's possible they may be retaining a good part of what we see as woods, with pathways where the grassy area is now (it has a ditch developing along the length of the building from breaks in the irrigation system and needs to be redone anyway). I'm not happy with the idea of people walking along outside by patio door, but if it's kept to a minimum foot-traffic wise and the paths are done tastefully as winding paths with the trademark animal foot prints that are found throughout, it may be very nice.
