nice find

"An early point-chart submitted by Disney to the state -- Disney Vacation Club owners buy points from the company, which they then redeem for rooms, though they must buy through a "home resort" -- shows guests will have to spend more points to rent one- and two-bedroom units at the Kingdom Tower than any of Disney's other existing time shares."

So who can find the point chart first?

I found this interesting.

Glaser predicted that Disney will choose to market the Contemporary time shares "as more of an upscale product." An early point-chart submitted by Disney to the state -- Disney Vacation Club owners buy points from the company, which they then redeem for rooms, though they must buy through a "home resort" -- shows guests will have to spend more points to rent one- and two-bedroom units at the Kingdom Tower than any of Disney's other existing time shares.

In a further step toward cementing the new tower's status as a time-share resort, Disney has created a new condominium association that would manage the resort once units are sold off to individual owners. State records show that the "Kingdom Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort Condominium Association" was formally incorporated Jan. 9.

I wonder how that will all play out. "status" and a "new condominium association????

Oh, And you all were so wrong!!! The monorail access is on the 5th floor! not the 4th!

Disney creates a new condominium association for every DVC resort.

Oh, thanks! I honestly didn't know that! I don't own *yet*. I would like to eventually. It's hard to use it from Singapore, though. Maybe in a few years.

Save some KTCR* for me! (or KTV, or KTCRV, or whatever you'll call it!)

Here's bocce ball:

It's similar to horseshoes and/or shuffleboard ummm kinda, but with balls. It's an Italian game. I know older Italian men played it in Chicago when I lived there. Hope that helps!

Boccie ball is a fun lawn game you play with balls that are like small bowling balls. It's fun, but takes up a bit of space.

They're building a new DVC resort at the Contemporary??!!??

Why hasn't anyone been talking about this????? No wonder they say DVC is Disney's best kept secret!!!!!

 

[marvali]

No, but the article said that the points chart submitted by Disney will require higher points to reserve than any other resort! Ouch!

I can only wonder what those Friday, Saturday night stays point costs are going to be like.
