As best I understand, the cabins will be DVC...not 100% sure but seems like it will. They're also converting the Lodge rooms facing the Villas into 1-2 bedroom units and same question there...is it part of DVC? My opinion would be it shouldn't be. There are families of 5-6 that would love to book one of those rooms that are not DVC members. As it stands now, larger families have to rent 2 regular rooms and that doesn't seem fair. They do have "bunk bed" rooms available that sleep 5 which is good. It really doesn't bother me a lot that there will be construction...I just like the nice view from the room in the mornings. Makes the day start out "magical". You're right...there are a LOT of people "jumping ship" which, IMO is stupid....unless you have children still needing that afternoon nap. I can understand the concern then with construction noise. Some previously registered guests are getting pretty good deals to because of the construction. Some are getting reduced rates; others are even getting moved to the monorail resorts without the extra charge those rooms would cost. We're going to ask but here again...it's not a "deal breaker". We won't be there during the day and they normally don't start construction work until 9 AM...at least that's what DD was told. They've called us...and sent a letter (and other registered guests) informing us about the construction and asking if we want to change resorts. We're staying at the WL because (#1) DD was able to book the Villa's after being on the waiting list and (#2) we want to be there for the Christmas decorations. I'd still like to find a room request that would be good for us...close to the boat dock and/or villas which is why I'm trying to figure out what to request. It's a good problem to have! Wish YOU were facing that "problem" too!
I wish I was facing that problem too. Someday. It seems that more and more rooms are turning into DVC. I bet the WL is really pretty at Christmas time. I was thinking whenever we go again I would like to stay there. Well I really want to stay at the Poly again but I don't think that's going to happen.
