Oh, I'd guess this will last until after the KTR sells out... With all the chatter about the Contemporary site, they'll need to "incentivize" the other properties.

Comparing the photos to the "Water Management District" plans there is a pretty solid correlation... The drainage pond to the north of the new parking lot area and the rectangular section immediately to the east of the parking area (shown as 2 tennis courts in the plans) are exact matches...

Not following... By this logic, no one should buy ANY DVC ownership... How can it possibly be bad to get more product? Hypothetical 100 point AKV purchase w/discount =$9600. W/ Dev Pts =$10400 plus 200 Dev Pts. Therefore what you are doing is "buying" 200 points with 12 month expiration...

I think it is possible they pre-sell a new resort and SSR Phase III simulaneously... Two-tier prices, "CRV" higher and SSR with more incentives. Get both ends of the market.

Gatorade is one of the miracles of 5th Avenue marketing. Water and a healthy diet will do more than "sports drinks" to keep you operating. I like Gatorade, but do not need Gatorade. I find it pretty funny that after a couple hundred posts here on Dis, the one that finally gets the most...

One tip to pass on from my survival training... And personal experience in some very hot places... The best place to carry water is in your body. If you wait until you feel thirsty, your body is already in trouble. If you know at the start of the day you are in for a long, hot...

I think that if this is a private owner, and short of being one of the felons at ENRON looking to sell assets to cover legal fees, $800 a month is chump change to someone in this economic strata. But that also speaks to a point I've read before on these boards (and agree with) that the truly...

No offense given, no offense taken... So no offense! :goodvibes DD2---Bottom line, whatever your view of the economy, it would appear from most posters here that few hold with the idea that a downturned economy would drop the bottom out of the resale market. Obviously, there will be a...

Thanks, Mom. I'll try to play nicer with the kids in the sandbox next time. I'd hate to be seen as condescending.

One way to find out is to charge more than what others are charging, and see if anyone bites...

Pardon me if I skip the sensitivity moment here... But your original post started with "I know this won't be a popular topic here" and then you are surprised when someone disagrees with your premise? Frankly, I think your post quoted above is far more sneering and cynical than anything else...

These are called the DIS Discussion Forums... My comments are not a personal attack. Your initial post was based on an assumption that there is a recession coming... OK. In economic terms there is always a recession coming, it's just a matter of when. A bad business climate (for some) and...

Agree to a degree, but would offer that while implicitly trusting statistics---particularly government statistics---is bad, it may be just as bad to think that a local anecdote equates to a global phenomenon. In May, there were 6 houses on my block for sale and people in my neighborhood were...

I stand happily corrected.

This will certainly come as a shock to the people at the Bureau of Economic Analysis at the Department of Commerce... From their latest (5/25/06) report on the Gross Domestic Product " GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT: FIRST QUARTER 2006 (PRELIMINARY) Real gross domestic product --...

My Guide told me that the SSR sales center was going to be the "permanent" home of DVC sales staff, etc even after SSR is sold out. They will use mock-ups, models, etc. of new resorts (which suggests to me that the DVC rooms are now "standardized" on the BWV/VWL/BCV/SSR standard). Also...

Since I'm Navy and end up moving every 2-2 1/2 years, we tend to stay "light" and not accumulate too much garbage... But I'm keeping those room keys... Paid a lot for those things!

There is some measure of collusion between the companies... The Fairfield Bonnet Creek resort brochure is full of WDW references, including photos of Cindy's castle---which they never could use without paying Disney a fee/getting permission. I've read at least one post here from a member...

We started out "poorly..." Our first two DVC nights were in a BWV GV... Then split the extended family up into 3 1BRs. High expectations only go higher! Next trip was in a 1BR, then we stayed in a BCV 2BR. (Family of 4 plus one on the way). Can't see going back to a 1BR, and once the baby...

Fun idea, but I'm actually opposed to creating additional "classes" of membership. Guess I'm too egalitarian.
