JULY 2005 POLL RESULTS[Let's speculate... New DVC resorts in next 2-3 years?]

[DisFlan]

I heard from a CM that Villas at Cinderella's Castle (VCC) is a done deal. I also heard that Universal is merging with Disney/DVC and will create Villas at Hard Rock Cafe (VHR). Conversely, Disney will update some attractions by incorporating some Universal characters - Snow White vs. Hulk for example.

AW-RITE on the VCC! But the offering would read something like "Limited time - 4 studios - vacation in the Castle for ONLY $7000 a point!"

And no 7 month window for the rest of us LOL! This is a buy where you want to stay property if I ever heard of one!

I voted Eagle Pines because it has been announced previously. I also think that another hotel type DVC might be considered because of the popularity of BCV/BWV.

Animal Kingdom came to mind only because it appears to have land available for building. I would imagine that a separate savannah would have to be constructed for the DVC side. I would think that this would be a very popular option and great selling point. I know I would be interested in staying at a DVC at the Animal Kingsdom Lodge.

This is a tough one. I would bet that the only prime piece of real estate Disney would even consider on the monorail loop would be one of the garden wings at CR (since they are falling apart as they are and there is no view to speak of there) The other places are just too popular for cash paying guests, why would they build DVC at the GF or Poly? If people are plopping down money to buy at saratoga, why would disney sell/lease/whatever their best locations to build DVC? It would make no sense to me.

Eagles Pines maybe?

More fuel for the CR rumor is found in Disney Kevin's posts. Although he is new to the forums, he's a contributor to the DIS and WebmasterJohn vouches for him. He has a rumor about BC on the resort board now but his first post is about CR DVC.

Have a link?

 

[BCV23]

Sorry, I'm computer challenged. Granny on this forum even told me how to do it but I can't find his directions.

Anyway, if you go to the resort forum, look for a thread about BC rumor that DisneyKevin started. If you click on his user name and then on other posts, you'll see his rumor about CR. WebmasterJohn's comments are on the BC rumor thread.

Maybe you can do the links?

However, I do not think the CR is rumor is true. They would be building those building higher and would most likely demo them and rebuild. I think they are just undergoing a rehab. Also, if they were renovating now for DVC, wouldn't they be announcing it to sell to exsisting members?

 

[BCV23]

Thanks for posting the link, Jim.

Your points are logical but the rumors are so persistent. Does anyone know how long the infrastructure of CR should last. If the rumors are true, perhaps it will be all Inn style rooms like the main building at VB?

 

[lisareniff]

That's an interesting post BCV23! Hummm... Makes me think, maybe the guides are trying to mislead us, since the rumours are so pervasive about the CR they are trying to swash them until they can announce. Maybe that will be a while too..... Oh, the possibilities!

 

[Figment56]

I voted Contemporary, but would love to see AKL-maybe they could make a savannah view for DVCers in the villa part-I would be there before they could let out the animals! That's my favorite of all!

 

[lisareniff]

Bumping up one last time.

 

[Beach_Bound9]

I think given teh expansion potential of SSR there will not need to be any new DVC resorts.

Well, it may be far fetched, but I would like to see one of the cruise ships made partially DVC so that the point structures for cruises were much better.

Beyond that an Animal Kindom Villas sounds great.

Disneyland should certainly have a DVC resort, despite past history.

 

[lisareniff]

This has been fun. So far 177 people have voted. The results might be slightly skewed higher due to the fact that I forgot to put a option for those that thought no DVC resort is going to be announced in the next 2-3 years, before SSR is sold out. But none the less, close to half think that the CR DVC is alive and well and going to happen soon! While the DL DVC gets the next highest vote, with 1/3 of voters believing it was soon to be announced. The suprise for me was AKL. Early on it got very high scores, then leveled out to appox. the same as Eagle Pines (20% and 18% respectively). DVC AKL was such a new thought to me I was very suprised.

Another suprise is that the King of Polls, Mr. Poll himself, Greenban didn't vote in this one!!

 

[erikthewise]

I voted for Eagle Pines in an attempt to follow instructions and vote for what would happen rather than what I would like. But I find it not at all interesting and I hope they don't build it.

My favorite would be VPR (Polynesian) but I don't think it's going to happen. The only chance would be a small VWL-style extension build to the west of the current resort, assuming that land is buildable, and even to do that they would have to tear down the Luau Cove (no loss there!) and perhaps one of the existing longhouses.

Actually what I would like is to tear down the north garden wing at the Contemporary and build VPR there! But that is truly fantasy.

 

[sssteele]

Guide told us that Disneyland is a go, along with the Contemporary (both garden wings will be torn down). Eagle Pines is a "no go", and there will be another WDW property in the future. (I believe he mentioned an "Italian Theme") He also said that both the Contemporary and Polynesian are "sinking", but that a new construction process should make DVC Contemporary a go. Speculation or facts? Who knows?

 

[Laurajean1014]

I voted for AKL. They have the room, the resources and the desire from the general public to build off of AKL. It would be very easy to accomplish.

I doubt GF will go DVC. There is no need and no great amount of space. Also, why, if you can get $$$$ for the room, instead of points.

Contemporary - maybe. It would be great but we'll see.

Eagles Pines - what can this offer that has not already been?

 

[dsneygirl]

If DVC came to AKL, I'd buy more points even if I didn't need them. I love AKL.

Ditto. The Contemporary doesn't do anything for me but I would grab AKL in a heartbeat. It also seems like there is a lot of land out there still.

 

[JoeEpcotRocks]

I voted for what I expect Disney to do - Disneyland and Contemporary.

I agree that AKL could be a possibility -- to help promote the park too -- as this is the one park many skip -- although I enjoy AK park very much myself.

 

[tracyl921]

My DVC sales guy said the rumour around the office was the Poly and if memory serves me correct (it was several weeks ago when we spoke) AKL. I vote for the Poly
