Any thoughts on point charts for Lakeshore Lodge

I believe that would be accurate if it’s not the new trust model. They have given them much more “power” over what they can do in this new trust based model

It doesn't matter if it would be legal, they're not going to do it.

I agree, no way they would. Just pointing out how the trust model is a different animal then the current model

Admittedly, haven't looked at cash prices in 15+ years. It used to be AKL and WL were the cheaper of the Deluxe resorts. I recall BWV was more than AKL and WL. For us, it was worth the extra to be able to walk/boat to Epcot and less so DHS (DHS was a half day park for us until Toy Story land and Star Wars land).

In recent times did Disney price point charts to help pay for changes?

• RIV was higher than BWV/BCV to pay for the skyliner, DHS opened Star Wars Land, and DHS opened Toy Story land just before RIV opened.
• BLT/VGF/PVB Fantasyland expansion
• VGF2/PVB2/CFW/LL Cars ride and Villains land.
• OG PVB just in time for GCH, pool work, hot tub changes, kitchen work, etc.
• VGF2 sold in time to pay for GF lobby rehab.

I thought I read somewhere that LSL is W-shaped, with a pool/lazy river in the nook of the W on one side and some other amenities on the other? IDR where/why that's in my brain.

I had peeked at the CFW in January and saw LSL construction then, but I have never been at FW beyond that. What types of views will the rooms have of the castle/fireworks? Can they really see much from the upper floors? It *seems* far away to me from the boat ride over there, but I certainly could be wrong.

My guess is the point chart is similar to Riviera. I do think every resort since Riviera they've really nailed the form/function/style/utility of the rooms, and LSL seems to be offering a ton of options. I'm assuming duos, studios, CFW bundled, 1B, 2B, 3B/GV, maybe club level, plus the A-frame cabins and some other style of room and/or club level.

I think they need to really plus up LSL to sell that many points so they don't have another Aulani on their hands to sell indefinitely. If they found a way to make club level all-inclusive with golf carts AND food AND maybe cabanas for a couple hours or something, there could be a bunch of other cabin-curious folks finding their way over there and buying.

I guarantee LSL will be more points for a similar category at CCV. Cash guests are willing to pay more for a new hotel, I'm sure DVC will price accordingly, especially with a lazy river, what hotel recently has had lower points (CFW is not a hotel)
