Only if you have a closed mind. I think it's fact that OKW and SSR are easier to reserve in general than the other three in question nor is it a stretch that that fact translates to home resort usage, or lack of. The only complicating factor for SSR is the declared but unsold inventory. But I do realize there are people out there that don't want to be confused with facts, else everyone would get vaccines, no one would believe allergies cause ADD, etc. To some these things are a Religion, I said it before, much like College football discussions.DrTomorrow said:Aw, Dean - you need to work on your believe-ability. I try to believe 6 impossible things before breakfast; quite a mind-stretcher.
And I simply love people on the DIS DVC forum proposing to ask the people on the DIS DVC forum about booking habits. Is there anyone out there who believe that this little group of Disney obsessives in any way mirrors the general population of point-forfeiting, last-minute reserving 90,000 DVC owners? Anyone? Bueller?
Dean's right, though - unless Disney starts releasing hard figures, all we're left with is individual (and DIS DVC forum, which is almost the same) assumptions about resorts, and our reading.of.tea.leaves.and.entrails of the dozen or so posts that say "I could / couldn't get into Resort XYZ at time t".
Be well!
PS to Ken: That's easy. Since we're easy going and easy to please, and have no great need for twice the variation, I'd say the 5 resorts w/600 rooms. And not only would that please me, but it would probably benefit everyone, as - given economies of scale and a smaller number of brands ("resort names") to market, provide mugs for, etc. - overall DVC dues would be less (I believe there is some portion of our dues that covers things beyond our home resort). More DVC buses, more bus stops at theme parks, increased complexity for that on-line system that's due any year now.Hey, Las Vegas has dozens of choices, but we only utilize a few - and having the additional choices yields no benefit to me.
I don't disagree that a poll here is biased, I've said it several times myself. I was mainly responding to previous threads in this line where someone said post a poll, I'm not suggesting one, I was anticipating other responses. I am simply pointing out that IF anyone wants to do a poll, they need to structure it to minimize the bias of new owners and home resort infatuations. Selecting members that have been around will do that if one chose to pursue a poll. The more seasoned the members, the better the results.
