I thought I would make voting easier by posting Dale's question (with an edit) as a poll.
 
How about:

D: I have never been on the boat, will probably never be on the boat and really only care about how it would affect our dues.
 
I have a dumb?
is the old Disney Institute/STB Sarrasota Springs? On the same water way as the one from OKW to DTD? If it is a larger boat may be in the future - they may combine the service to accomadate both DVC resorts. However if it is not then the above statement is mute - as stated at the begining a dumb?
 
Yasuern,

I don't think there was ever a boat from the Institute to DTD - it is so close there is probably a pathway. I don't remember any sort of a regularly scheduled service from the dock near (what I assume to be) the clubhouse for the LBV course. The OKW boat would, on request, drop you off and pick you up there.
 

Keep things as they are. I would like to see the annual dues stay the same and larger boats would need larger docks, additional crew members and increase the loading and unloading times which ultimately would increase the wait times. Unless of course more boats are purchased.

Lets keep it as is.

Hello!

First of all, I will admit, even though I am not an OKW'er, I did vote, just to see the results. You can count 1 less on the choice three, if you like.

I however, did vote honestly. After visiting over there, just to see the resort for ourselves, We did take the ferry to DD. My personal opinion would be you need more than one. The time between runs is huge. Changing the size of the vehicle won't make it get there and back any quicker.

Edit: I also seem to remember the boat driver mentioning that part of the run was a no wake zone, so, if I am recalling that properly, a bigger boat would have to go even slower, hence the runs would be spaced even further apart.
 
That boat is the best thing about staying at OKW.
