New Disney Vacation Club Resort

[wisbucky]

While on our December 2005 trip to WDW hubby and I spoke with a DVC CM. The CM advised us that DVC was heavily leaning towards the CR. DVC wants to put a DVC resort on the monorail. This would meet the demands of many DVC members who have requested this and become a huge selling/advertising standpoint for DVC. We were told that the quantity of villas at CR would be a small amount. DVC was sure they would sell out quickly.

I was there from Jan 6-16th and spoke to many DVC guides all but one said no other new resort plans are happening yet due to SSR ( hard to believe)..then the other DVC guide at The Contemporary said yes they are talking about building 3 more resorts Contemporary, AKL and Eagle Pines...he said he thinks AKL is going to be first because he has been hearing alot about it. Who knows what is true or not...I just wish they would announce something!!!!!

Unfortunatly CM's (even the DVC guides) are terrible sources of information.

But the guides are terribel sources of information for good reason. What good would it do to them, while they are trying to sell spots at SSR, to tell you what may be coming? It will only serve to make you wait for the CR or AKL.

dbm20th,

You're suggesting that the DVC Guides know more than the DVC members about future plans for DVC, but that they choose not to tell us what's coming.

In reality, the DVC Guides are not part of the inner circle of people who work out business and financial details and make decisions. They hear rumors. We hear rumors. We hear rumors from them. They hear rumors from us.

What I am saying is that it serves them no purpose to tell someone who walks up to them at a sales kiosk that there are new spots coming in better places. Even if they knew that Contemporary was coming, why would they say it to anyone but maybe a current member they are trying to set up for an add-on? They need to sell SSR and not what is coming soon.

I also find it very hard to believe that all guides are just as informed as we are. That doesn't make sense either. They know the clock is ticking on SSR

ANd as a point to the person who keeps going on about how AKL is cheaper than other deluxes for a reason, its because the rooms are smaller.WL is roughly the same price and the rooms are the same size, but no one is going on about WL being a failure!WL is slightly more probably because they have the boat access to MK and some of the rooms have MK views.Thats it plain and simple.And the $ difference is very slight.

I for one am a fan of AKL, and if DVC built a resort there, i would consider becoming a dvc member.The only reason i never did before was because i didnt like any of the DVC resorts.Believe it or not there are people who like AKL and some who pick it as their fave, including myself, and ive stayed at other places in WDW.

Really? You do not like ANY of the DVC resorts??

 

[rhiannonwales]

Mitros,
It's not that i HATE any of the other DVC resorts, they just dont grab me enough to plunk down thousands of dollars. I like the idea of DVC, i like knowing that aside from dues ill have a disney vacation every year.And if for some reason i cant go, i can rent the points to cover the cost of the dues at least.

I lived in the Florida Keys as a teen (my dad still lives there) so the idea of going to a place thats designed to look like a place i lived doesnt appeal to me much.I really dont like the Boardwalk/Beach Club at all - again, i live at the Jersey Shore so if i wanted that experience, id stay home. LOL. Saratoga actually doesnt look that bad and neither does VWL but i dont LOVE it enough to want to buy into it ya know?

I don't know if you can compare Disney's Boardwalk with the Jersey shore. We lived in N.J. for 46 years before moving to Florida. We lived in Toms River for 5 years after we were first married, and I think I would rather go to the Boardwalk {Disney's} as opposed to Seaside Heights or Keansburg, or Atlantic City. I don't know, a little safer, I guess. Knifings were a daily ritual at the boardwalk at Seaside when we lived in Toms River.

 

[rhiannonwales]

Well yes Seaside is a place for drunkend 20 somethings and teens. Keansburg is a dive. I was refering to Point Pleasant, which is more family oriented.But still, as a whole i spend my summers avoiding the Jersey Shore, its not interesting to me.I doubt that just by putting a Disney spin on it i would start liking it again.And as a point i have been to the Boardwalk area of Disney.It IS cleaner and safer.It just doesnt appeal to me much.Same way that a lot of people dont like AK park.To each their own i say.

I saw this today at the entrance to Bonnet Creek Resort and Buena Vista Dr.

Boardwalk is the "Disney clean" version of the Jersey shore, just like Port Orleans French Quarter is the cleaner version of Bourbon Street... No murders or smell of urine, just the fun stuff I like the sanitized versions of these places best! Especially on vacation
