Any new "seasons" or "views" for 2012

[rie'smom]

On a DVC note.. I thought they should caterogize room views for BCV and WLV too.

BCV-Trees or parking lot
We had a woods view in April which was so so during the day. At night though, we could see Illuminations which is our favorite fireworks show!!! If anyone is interested, it was room 457.

I was curious to see if BWI made any changes to their categories. We stayed there last year and there seemed to be a huge disparity in what fell under "standard view". First room we got was looking at rooftop of the garden suites, second room (still a standard view) had an Epcot view. I was thinking maybe they'd at least add a "garden" category like BC did last year.

Anyone notice that 2012 rates at Pop are higher than the All Stars?

Probably to match the higher rates they want to charge at the Animation Resort across the lake.........

I think LM room was even more than Pop.

I noticed that the Animation resort seemed like twice the price of the other values. My guess is that Pop is higher due to supply and demand. If that resort has a higher booking than the other values, they are trying to fill the other values as well. The demand for Pop is higher therefore the amount goes up. Same thing with the different views and categories. I would bet that this was designed to help eliminate the complaints of guests regarding views. I am sure in this generation of entitlement there are several people demanding it all. I like the preferred rooms at the values and mods because of the proximity of the food court. If I get a pool view great, if not great. I will take whatever room in the category that I paid for. If I have to have a king room, in a preferred location, with a pool view then I should have to pay for it. I am in the parks to much to even notice a view.

It is no different than the tiers in the ticket prices. Years ago you bought tickets to the parks, they didn't expire. Now you can buy four tiers of tickets. Magic My Way, add hopper, add water parks, add no expiration. If you don't want certain options you don't pay for them. If you want it all, it won't be the same price as those who only want basic.

Is there a chart somewhere of everything and everywhere that y'all have found? I've searched a little, but am not finding anything... Trying to figure out how to balance the budget around this year's girl trip, next year's conference trip to Anaheim (hopefully staying on-sight) and next year's girl trip to WDW, and can't find a nice chart listing everything out...

Thanks!
