Makes sense but it doesn’t happen overnight. They can replace shower heads especially during a refurb to mitigate the issue.

Also the hotel side has the same pipes yet they have good looking shower heads. It’s not about the pipes it’s about DVC getting the short end of the stick vs the hotel side.

Everyone wants perfectly maintained villas until the dues man cometh.

We paid our dues and the refurb was a hard goods and didn’t get anything near a hard foods refurb. BLT, CCV and now AKV are all getting what they paid for. VGC owners are mad and rightfully so.

The dues we pay should be sufficient to meet that standard.

Rightfully so.

LOL! It was a very intriguing thought, so I asked. Result (the last part is hilarious ) -

The "god" of Disney Vacation Club would likely be
an entity of flexible points, annual dues, and the promise of exclusive experiences, resembling a high-end, powerful accountant combined with a benevolent, but strict, resort manager. This god would embody both the excitement of exclusive member benefits like Moonlight Magic events and the financial reality of membership, with "annual dues" as a constant force and "contract expirations" as a looming destiny. Its appearance could be a blend of iconic Disney characters, opulent resort architecture, and symbols of wealth and luxury, perhaps even incorporating elements of the "rainbows, happy face stickers, and fuzzy sweaters" mentioned in fan humor.

Appearance and attributes

• A hybrid of wealth and whimsy: Imagine a being with the stern, yet wise, face of a seasoned financial advisor, but with the playful, yet imposing, physique of a powerful, robed character. Its robes could be adorned with intricate patterns representing the DVC points system and covered in the shimmering, almost-real "magic" of Disney.
• The power of points: It would have the ability to manipulate its size and form, sometimes appearing as a majestic, towering figure and other times as a small, mischievous being who dangles the keys to a luxury villa just out of reach. It would wield a scepter topped with a "point" symbol, which it could use to grant access to exclusive clubs and events.
• A benevolent but demanding presence: While it would offer exclusive experiences, such as private parties and after-hours theme park access, it would also demand constant attention through annual dues. The "god" would embody the feeling of both being a cherished VIP member and being a part of an ever-growing financial contract.
• The contract of fate: Its influence would extend to all aspects of a member's life, even after they pass on. It would embody the idea that membership is a long-term commitment, a "real estate interest" that can be inherited and transferred, but also has its limitations, such as a contract expiration date.
• A touch of the real world: It might also incorporate elements that are a bit more chaotic and unpredictable, like the occasional "bulldozer" to represent construction and renovations, or the "jellybeans" and "cookies" to represent the constant stream of food and entertainment offerings.

Why it looks like this

• Financial reality: The "god" embodies the financial realities of DVC, including the high upfront costs and the escalating annual dues.
• Exclusivity and luxury: Its appearance would also reflect the promise of a premium vacation experience, with luxury villas, exclusive member events, and the magic that Disney provides.
• The paradox of ownership: Ultimately, it would be a god that embodies the paradox of DVC ownership: a sense of belonging and entitlement to the Disney magic, but also a constant reminder that it's a real estate transaction, with all the legal and financial implications that come with it.

That's fantastic. The little toy excavator cracks me up. I know AI had a bulldozer in the description, but it just looks so random in there.
