Thanks guys, now its goin to annoy me when I look at PIT, I never noticed this stuff before

We were in WDW last week and on the monorail I took a peak and just can't believe the scale of it! I am a CCV owner, will it be easier to book CCV once it opens if people are jumping ship to stay at the new hotel at 7mo?! Had me wondering what a new DVC hotel will do to those of us who enjoy staying at our home resorts but sometimes have trouble even at the 11 month window. Has PIT (omg The Poliday made me laugh- I love PIT but that IS funny IMO) impacted resort availability do you think? I am open to trying LSL but not if it has PIT point charts!

It may have less of an impact than you think. remember LSL will be resale restricted so only those with direct points will be able to book there that don’t own there.

The fun thing is the ugliest tower Disney has ever built, BLT, doesn’t even get close to the hate this unfinished building gets (same with PIT while being built)

I remember the wailing and gnashing of teeth over the fact that the GFV building exterior was not as detailed as the rest of the Grand's existing buildings. It has been years since I've seen anyone bring that up, but it was all anyone could talk about during and shortly after construction.

I suspect that PIT will follow suit in a few years, just as RIV is already on that path.

never noticed this stuff before

...and you never will again, unless you go looking for it.

It might, for the first year or two when everyone wants to try it. Then LSL will become just another DVC resort, with people looking forward to the next new thing.

Do you want them to have that or not want it?

I want the statue

The darker VGF roof bothered me until Disney reshingled the entire resort, but I am crazy like that

Wait...those interior photos...is one a Holiday Inn? Because if so, it looks like a really nice Holiday Inn. Much nicer than the ones I've stayed at!

Yes, this was in the top 10 Google image search for "Holiday Inn Lobby"



Frighteningly similar with the slatted ceiling details and blue furniture/carpeting.

@ClaraOswald I love the new profile pic! Such a good movie and very relevant for Thanksgiving

Adams Family Values (1993)

According to Google Image search, it is in Belfast. There appears to be a similar one in Clermont-Ferrand.

I'll be surprised if there is anything comparable in the US. Either way, maybe the object lesson here is that we should be less disparaging of Holiday Inn, as opposed to more disparaging of DVC.

Holiday Inn, DVC, Marriott, Hilton Grand Vacations; it all comes from the same catalog these days.

I feel its harsh. The details that PIT has in the mosaic and the poles are beautiful. I can see similarities, I guess of that one nicest holiday inn with the wood use and colors, but PIT is much more detailed and beautiful. I would not feel like I was at PIT in that lobby.

When you say poles do you mean the giant moss pillars? It was absolutely not to my liking but I'm glad you like it! To me there is nothing Polynesian about PIT.
