Any thoughts on point charts for Lakeshore Lodge

[Tatebeck]

Since there are no existing points to book it (unlike the Poly Tower) I think it will have pretty good availability until at least it is sold out. And with how large it is it will probably have pretty good availability after that as well. I will be willing to try it out at least once myself.

ETA: I guess there could be some points already available to book it if they do something weird with the trust. But even if they do that and roll in LL with CFW, so few of those cabin points have sold that I think my point will still stand lol

(Cabinizens? Cabinae?)

The Cabins at Fort Wilderness and Disney Lakeshore Lodge are two different resorts. Why are people talking like they're going to be combined?

Because "If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.” The cabins are not selling at current prices, and I can't see them being remaining unsold until contract expiry*. With the status quo being a dead end, Disney has three options:

1. Lower the contract cost to clearance prices.
2. Consolidate the cabins with Lakeshore Lodge.
3. Give up on the timeshare model and operate the unsold cabins as a hotel.

If anyone has credible alternatives, I would like to hear them.

Given the three options listed above, I see option two being the most palatable to Disney management.

*I am aware that if you extrapolate pervious sales, the cabins would sell out within 50 years, but this is a niche product with a finite number of niche customers. The pace will slow as the niche customers make their purchases. If so, sales wouldn't follow a linear rate.

Aulani model.

Continue to sell them, slowly, and sell the nights to cash guests in the mean time.

Just like Aulani, the cabins were always going to be a niche product.

I expect point charts below RIV. Not much lower but little. I really hope for owners sake they don’t build the cabins there on the water. They will be a lot of points, and cause more demand on studios. I don’t expect the dues for the pre existing cabins to drop any. There are huge logistical issues that keeps it high.
