News Round Up 2017

That's exactly what this is for. CBR will have the DVC component.

Have they confirmed that?

Seems odd for them to build anything without dvc...

If it's business class...the Marriott makes sense...the problem is it opens the door for these in other places if they're cheaper to build.

But dvc has been a bit skitz about what it wants to build.

Right? All they have to do is look at the bookings! Fall is kind of the weird perfect storm of low point cost, festivals, fall breaks, etc. So maybe that's not the best time to compare, but I'm sure the studios get booked out at the more desirable resorts super fast. Faster than other categories, ignoring Grand Villas because those are different folks entirely.

They have said Coronado will cater to the business clientele. They are building this tower close to the convention center so those guests don't have to walk far and are beefing up the dining options. Of course they haven't announced DVC at CBR yet. They won't do that until the are well underway like every other DVC project Disney does.

I would be much closer to buying "moderate DVC" than even the lowest priced resale deluxe DVC (only because I'm a one-income man family of 3 kinda guy). Of course, I'd much rather just get me some BLT DVC if money was no option.

Correct...they should actually look march to July and build based off only those months...

There's a boom (Easter) and surprisingly quiet (may) month in there and the summer isn't crushed like it used to be but is solid.

I'll give you an idea of what I saw as I've recently been looking at the seven month window:

At 8 months for a studio:
1. All were available (at a moderate attendance point)

2. Two weeks out of seven...gf dried up and it became sporadic at Boardwalk, beach, and wilderness...

3. At the window...all those are pretty blocked and it became
More limited at contemporary...

Akv, okw, ssr, and POLY remained.

4. Now if I look in a month...I know Okw and ssr are the last to go...but what disappears first: poly or akv?

It will be close either way.

I will believe no dvc at Coronado when they release the rack and not one second sooner.

Sorry...but that's the smart approach.

The question is (and I'm done jacking after this...):

What would the buyin price have to be for you to do that?

The theory we kicked around lead to the consensus that the price would be the same but the points per night would be less...

...I don't know if that will hold...$176 a point. Even if studios are low and 75 points get you a week (okw is 75-90 base)...that's $13,200...

...which is close to what it cost me for 200 not that awful long ago.

It is the same way with yacht club. No DVC there due to the convention center. Coronado will be treated the same.

That yacht club is how it's played till now...that in no way procludes it.

The problem there is they would have to build a new convention center behind to fit it near the hotel and the dolphin...that's what has kept it from happening.

Never trust that's set in stone.

I am confused as to what you mean by this.

 

[skier_pete]

I thought Coronado's tower is meant for business/convention customers, not DVC?

Don't think anyone has said DVC at Coronado. The concept doesn't look it either. DVC always has balconies. Balconies, Balconies, Balcoines. Even if they are 2 ft x 4 ft - balconies.

Ok...so on the attachment the pin is the CONVENTION center...yacht club is directly below and the cast lot is past the boulevard above.

For dvc...they'd likely have to push the convention above the boulevard and put the tower where the current one sits.

I think there was a post on here where someone responded to the post about the changes coming to Corondo mentioned DVC - not sure if they knew something the rest of us don't or if it was just mixing up with the DVC coming to CBR

Neither things have been admitted or established...like the gondola...details are sketchy so I lumped them together.

Can't rule it out yet.

Who said it has to be a tower at YC? They could simply convert rooms like WL. They are also expanding the convention center at YC so I don't see DVC happening there but it's not impossible.

That could be...but I think you answered your own question: wilderness lodge didn't have a convention center to fill its rooms. Yacht has that market...but nowhere is it unreasonable to think they couldn't get greedy and slap dvc in their too.

Some GF restaurants will be closed this week

[skier_pete]

It should be lower points...this is a moderate version of dvc...the talk they are "turning it into deluxe" or "location is all that matters" at Caribbean and Coronado is the utter nonsense I thought it was when they floated it back in January....

I know no-one (especially you) seems to believe this - but if they build the rooms decent and put this direct gondola from the property to Epcot and DHS, AND have a Tower view of Illuminations, this thing will sell better than Copper Creek rip-offs, and will be an extremely popular location with Star Wars land on the Horizon.

It's not going to be a moderate DVC.
