2027 Points Charts Predictions

[Cfabar1]

No Standard was available when it opened. They reclassified some of the rooms as standard after members had complained with their view.

How did that work? Did they reallocate the points elsewhere?

Yes, they did but it wasn’t too bad since it was a small ratio of rooms that needed to be changed.

It took a few years after BLT opened. Before 2011/2012 there were rooms in Theme Park View below the monorail/skybridge level. Owners were not happy and it wasn’t really a shock that people did not want to take low floors after spending 50% more points than standard. Now TPV starts at Floor 4. Lower than that and the view is obstructed with trees, poles and whatnot included the parking lot being a much larger portion in your field of view than higher floors.

It seems they learned a lesson and applied it to PVB1, then forgot it for PVB2.

PVB1 longhouses do not have TPV category. Instead they were named Lake View and not such a drastic upcharge in points as TPV at VGF or BLT. That way guests aren’t surprised/upset at the 33% shot of getting 1st floor. You basically have to accept that possibility, but they are all a lovely view. The problem at BLT was paying the highest tier of points and then possibly ending up with a view popularly seen as even worse than the mid-tier.

Not sure why they turned around and added the PVB Tower with TPV rooms on 1st floor?

I think as all the trees grow larger around BLT there needs to be slightly more resort view rooms and slightly less TPV rooms but they would have to make all the TPV rooms even more at that rate.

They need to get rid of the garden view category at bwv, that is a joke, im surprised they get away with that. Unless there are better garden views that I didnt get

Pool/garden was simply a way to distinguish against SV which was more parking lot/ tennis courts, etc.

That’s the problem with view names…we all have different ideas of what should count!

Yes I prefer the tennis court and my points back Also dont like that its lumped with pool view, a pool view makes me much happier We usually check in late so I feel like I get all the undesirables

I think @Genie+ did a good job explaining it.

Long before my time, but I believe originally the rooms were all going to have the same price - whether they were Pool/Garden or Theme Park or Garbage Dumpster...

Owners complained, so they added the "resort view" which offered rooms at per point costs generally in line with The Disney Vacation Club (now known as OKW) as a way to placate them... That's my understanding anyways... long before my first DVC purchase.
