Disney's New Super Luxury Resort...

[cara loves the poly]

Actually I don't like this idea. A lot of people have AP's, or DDE, or no desire to pay for a lot of amenities they won't use. My guess is that by doing it all ala carte, it would be under $6500 for the week.

Anne

that's what we are paying now for poly concierge and tickets, (peak season) how could something like being described be less?

You've got a point. If the rooms are $700+ tax during low season, I can't imagine ever being able to stay for a week all inclusive for $6500 for four people. It would be closer to $8000 or more.

Still, the idea of it only being as all inclusive wouldn't work due to people having AP's and such. Perhaps an "all-inclusive" package could be offered, but staying that the resort surely shouldn't require buying a package.

In my mind something like this would be more attractive to a person, couple, or family not in the Florida area (not having annual passes) looking for a luxurious vacation. For example - next year (2007 vacation) we are choosing the Beaches Resort in the Carribean for the experience of "once you are there NO WORRIES EVERYTHING INCLUDED ---want a drink just ask, want to see a show -just go- just like a cruise ---but on land ---at DISNEY WORLD" Kids want to go to Neverland -- just drop them off! Mom and Dad Enjoy!

I hate to tell you, but when we lived in NJ we had annual passes. Where one lives has nothing to do with the accomodations they choose at WDW. We're staying RPC at the GF in a few weeks...

Not necessarily. I live about 45 minutes from WDW, and I would love this for special occasions. Even though we have APs, this type of hotel would be great for a weekend getaway.

I think it may bring in a whole new target group.

I would love to see one adults only resort. So many adults celebrate weddings, anniversaries, and other special occasions there. I am not against children, but all the rest of Disneyworld is set up for children. The rooms would all have King beds and at least a loveseat besides the table and two chairs, and a minifridge. There would be a lovely pool, no waterslide necessary, an inside tasteful bar and fancy restaurant for dinner as well as a moderate restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. No food court!!! No meal plan. No game room. No character visits necessary. Nice theming and great beds...
Romantic setting with water and greenery.

Unlike the other replies, I would like to see this at the Deluxe level, but not over the top so that more of us could afford it! One section could be concierge for those willing to pay.

I think the target group already exists, and stays at various deluxe resorts CL, or offsite at the Peabody or Ritz Carlton.

My guess is the target group will be honeymooners,. affluent people who are already staying CL at WDW resorts, and those looking for a more upscale experience who are currently staying off site to get it, but would love to find it onsite.

Where those people live has nothing to do with it.

I have lobbied for one floor or section of each deluxe to be made "adult only" for a long time. But there needs to be a mix of kings and queen doubles, because not all adults are couples or want to share a bed.

I love this idea! I would definately consider something that exclusive for special occasions. There is a huge market for high end vacations...I don't think they would have any problems filling the rooms.

Some other ideas, butler service (in-suite dining, etc), special tours (ala AKL concierge..with a twist), after hours park privledges(memorable back door tours, extra ride hours, dessert in the castle, Special meals: appetizers in Japan, entree in Canada, dessert in Italy, etc.)

The rooms would have wonderful linens and bedding. When we stayed at the Ritz in Key Biscayne they had a bath concierge service. They actually drew a perfect bath with rose petals, special products, etc. Lit the room perfectly, music, champagne.....ah memories!

I have three children but would love an adults only section. Great idea!

Exactly! There are a lot of people in FL who (myself included) would be interested in this type of hotel.

I was certainly NOT implying that only people living in FL have annual passes. It was just my thought of a truly luxurious resort. I do not have an annual pass and do not plan on buying one. I would visit Disney World again after 2006 if it did offer such an option --my family does love it so but we decided next time that an all inclusive is much more appealing.

Like I said, it could be an option to book a package, but it shouldn't be a requirement at any WDW resort.

a CL Platinum room comes pretty close to an all inclusive. I would be surprised (unless you are heavy drinkers and don't want to wait for the drinks back at CL, that you could spend more than $100-200 in a week.

While some people love all inclusive, most of my clients have come to see that while it feels different when you "pary as you go", they do generally do not yield $1600 in perks between room w/dining plan versus room w/platnimum plan.
