Contemp DVC models are ready!!!

[moredisneyplease]

I'm at BWV June 2 - 9th......do you think I might be able to view them??!!! Or do you think they'll still be "closed" to the public?

FYI: If it is open to me I will do all that I possibly can to get over there, take a million pictures, rush back to my 1 bedroom at BWV and post them for all of you!!!

We will be there in July. If we here that those models are open, we will definitely check them out.

Oh and we think that the AKV decor is tremendous. One of the many great things about DVC is that as each resort is added, it is different from the rest. That gives us tons of choice as to where we buy and stay.

Disney doesn't meet the deluxe standard for bedding in thier "Deluxe" resorts much less in DVC!

I've stayed at a wide range of hotels and I have found the disney bedding superior to most.

Please educate the rest of us to what merits the deluxe standard for bedding.
Thanks for your help.

The suspense is killing me. The only add on we ever did was in 1993. I've been waitng a loooooong time for this.Enough is enough. Let's get this party started!

We walked through the Grand Californian models on Monday. DH and I both thought the GC's 1BR unit was far superior to those we've stayed in at BWV and AKV Jambo house: larger, open kitchen w/ free-standing workstatation, 6-seat kitchen table, twin-bed murphy built into the entertainment hutch, 2nd bathroom w/ shower, etc. Overall, it felt much larger ... but perhaps it was based on a "better use of space."

The studio layout follows that of BWV (hotel-like) -- which we prefer over OKW's and VB's triangular layout. Better flow, less cramped.

Does anyone know if any pics of the Grand Californian DVC models have been posted anywhere here on the boards? Would love to see some!

Apparently... they did not allow pictures of the models.

Cameras were not allowed on the tours, so we might have to wait until they open again to the public in Aug...

If the BLT model is nicer, and the best of all previous DVC units, I am betting that DVC is upping the quality, and design of the new units. I saw the VGC model last weekend, and saw for myself how much better the unit looks. I think the BLT, and VGC are the new standard for DVC.

I am so excited! We will be there the end of August and hope they are open by then! I am also glad they changed the name from Kingdom Towers. I wanted to add on at the Contemporary, but that name was making me have second thoughts. I know crazy, but that name was such a turnoff!

Thanks for posting this - I am so excited about this project I can hardly stand it!!!

I stayed at the Hyatt Metro Center in Washington DC, which had the best bed I've ever slept on in any hotel or DVC. Darn thing was better than mine at home.

Personally I think the DVC beds are a cut above most, the bed linens could be improved(Marriot timeshares are better).

This thread is making me very happy!!! Very happy indeed!

I can only hope that they are ready sell by October when we are there for my birthday. I can't think of a better Birthday gift.

So, it could very well be the mystery door(s) across from the AKV models in the DVC Preview Center at SSR are the Contemporary Villa models.

We will be at BCV on the 8th. If the models are open, we will be there ... checkbook in hand!

Hah! You'll have to climb over me because my butt will be parked at WDW on the 4th. Sure hope they're open.

larger, open kitchen w/ free-standing workstatation, 6-seat kitchen table, twin-bed murphy built into the entertainment hutch, 2nd bathroom w/ shower, etc.

they are actually using murphy beds - that is WONDERFUL. much better than those sleeper sofa (my opinion)

hope they do at CRV - KT - or whatever they are calling it!

 

[spiceycat]

remember back when AKV model first opened - some Disers got in the other area and found other models that looked like the CR.

now I would think that DVC has changed these models somewhat - make them newer and better.

but they are probably in the same place.

I have personally seen the Models at the Grand Californian. They are superior in setup and decor over other DVC properties (IMO) They are bigger than SSR and a little smaller than OKW. However the amenities are superior. I have also seen the floorplans for the Contemporary Villas, and the floor plan is very similar the what will be at the Grand. It looks like this new floor plan may be it for the next few properties. (I would say they are almost identical)

Years ago it was rumored that they dvc was opening at the floridian and very selective property with conceirge service throughout my guess is the contemporay is this project. Why are people so exicited about this. Doesn;t it just drive the cost up?
