Awwww.......Thanks.. Seriously, I talked DH out of buying on our last couple of DC's and our 2 DL trips last year. I'm sure that was that last time that I said "no" to that.
and if or rather when you are proud DVC owners you can start planning for a stay at AKV in a 1 bedroom there. Hope we can say Welcome Home soon.
Nope. This is a heads in beds issue pure and simple. I'd be surprised if the values were truly overbooked as well. I think the values were booked solid, perhaps a little "overbooked" a month before the end of the dining promotion. Disney looked at that situation, saw all the empty rooms at SSR and OKW for September and made a very rational decision. Yes, these people are getting a good deal, but having those empty rooms occupied, even with the free dining plan thrown in the mix, is better overall for Disney. These people will be buying tickets and tons of stuff.
If a few of them end up buying into DVC, that's just icing on the cake. It's not the primary motivating factor here.

I do not believe it is as simple as "heads in beds" I would think Disney has other reasons as they could have upgraded people to many other resorts. They also only upgraded Value why not Mod?
I say there has to be some thing in it for Disney...
It all seems to point to a sales pitch or selling itself......
OKW and SSR are similiar so if one like OKW they would be happy at SSR so they can easily buy there...
At the very least Kids will always remeber thier stay at....and Mommy and Daddy will want to see those smiles again
Disney is still a buisness and they are not giving anything away for free unless they have to....or there is something in it for them
But is still a great free no obligation upgrade for thise who got it
Cant wait! Im actually excited to do the sales tour and finally "commit". AKV will be amazing.....but, can I say WOW!!! Ive been scrolling thru the OKW, SSR, BC, etc threads and looking at the personal pix and reviews. What have I been thinking not becoming a member?? I need to get my head examined with all the time we spend at WDW, DL,and DC I am beginning to feel like I wasted alot of time and money.........................................
OK, I understand WDW owns a percentage of each resort, etc. & can do what they want with it however...
This is really getting under my skin for some reason.
I accept it when I can't get a ressie & there is availablity on disney.com.
I accept that DVC isn't entitled to free dining.
I accept that there are trade offs for the fabulous accommodations.
People receiving free dining AND a 1br villa while paying for a value???![]()
I'd love to stay for a week in a villa with free food for under $1000 wouldn't you? Why should I own DVC if that deal is gonna float out there?? (I know why I own DVC, it's just the principle).
Not to mention all the extra people we will now have to compete with for pool chairs.... and room locations...
Anybody else not happy?
Thanks for letting me rant!

With all the unsold inventory at SSR there are tons of empty rooms. We've heard of about 50 some upgrades on these boards. That means there's probably a couple of hundred.

If you read the thread you find most folks who are annoyed, are not annoyed by Deluxe hotel guests getting bumped.
Just my opinion, but I don't see how this is a "class issue". I feel better about an upgrade from a deluxe, but that's only because the price they paid is more in line with the upgrade. That may seem like a class issue, but it's truly not IMO.That's interesting, because then this would be a class issue ...
