Next DVC resort?

[PolyRob]

I am a fan of tower resorts, I don't think I'd consider LSL just because of how large the resort is but also lack of transportation options. If I'm going to do a resort that has only boat/bus access, I would end up buying resale at CCV. PVB I would be buying for access to the tower.

This is fair. The renderings shared earlier today (https://www.disboards.com/threads/d...eflections-site-in-2027.3957946/post-66336513) really show how sprawling LSL is!

I agree. LSL is a MK area resort, but it's not connected like the monorail resorts. I can't say I would never try it, but if I want to book a resort so I can get back to my room fast after park close or a hard ticketed event I want a monorail resort.

If WDW builds a resort attached to MK I will eat my words and probably want that for the late nights

The only thing that would sway me from CCV to LSL IF I were purchasing a boat access MK resort would be if that lazy river is like Aulani level good or better. Well definitely try it and it'll honestly probably be really nice to have a large resort with decent MK access for all of us direct owners but time will tell how the resort turns out

How about an extra bathroom in the 1/2 bedrooms like AKL-K, BLT, PVB & VDH, VGC?

How about sleeping surfaces for 5 in both studios and 1 bedrooms?

For me it is size of rooms/luxury and the pools.

If they can nail that I'd go LSL... longer journey would be well worth it for VGF/RIV/OKW size rooms, coupled with a large pool complex including a lazy river. Also, throw in a couple of walking paths.

That extra bathroom is so nice. This last trip we had late late nights and having that extra bathroom for showering before bed would’ve been amazing.

Agreed. Both Disneyland DVCs have the bonus 1/2 bathroom in 1+ bedrooms and I’ve become spoiled. Synchronized pooping makes for time efficiency for couples.

On this note I can't for the life of me figure out why the older Poly studios have a bath and a shower, but only one toilet. I really think the 2 toilets helps a family out more.

Yes, very silly. VGF and RIV have the same deluxe studio setup.

What honestly boggles my mind even more is the one-bedroom at VGF and RIV. They have a freestanding tub in one room and a single stall shower right next to the toilet in another room. You actually have less usable bathroom space in a one-bedroom than a studio.

Yeahhh I couldn't believe that the 1BR has less usable bathroom space than the studio. It was really nice having access to the 2 showers in the studio. None of us use the bathtub, maybe my kids will when they're little but after the first couple years that's it.

Hrmm that's fair but then given the size of LSL I'll likely be able to 7 month my way into the resort

Yes! Same here. Even if you did need the tub you're still short a shower AND a shower that can be used while someone is using the toilet

I think perhaps a 3rd DVC in Anaheim as part of Disneyland Forward

Is VDH selling that well? I am assuming we’ll get a 3rd DVC at DLR, but I don’t think Disney is in any rush, especially as the pull one of the few on site perks…

If ANY of the Crescent Lake resorts get a DVC with 50 years on the purchase I will buy it regardless of the trust, resale restrictions, dues, room breakdown, etc as long as I can walk (or scoot as I age 50 years) to two parks

I would even take a resort across Epcot Resorts Blvd like Swan Reserve

I was with you 100% until you said across EpcotResorts Blvd…if I’m paying 2030 direct pricing and point charts () I want to be on the lake. Otherwise, I’ll just camp out at the Swolphin.

My guess is a second Riviera tower. The last few months Riviera’s pace slowed to the point that recent pace does not seem sufficient to sell it out before 2027. No reason to rush if the next build is also Riviera.

Makes sense to try to sell a few million more RIV2 points BEFORE offering a new Crescent Lake DVC (I think fewer people would be buying RIV direct or resale if they could by resale BC or YC that don’t expire until 2065+). Plus if they start a small BC/BW/YC flip association in 2035, they can add in millions more points with only 43 years remaining down the road, but still sell it at top dollar to people like me.

I am all for them converting some YC to DVC and as a BCV owner I would definitely add on points there. But if they added a tower to either BC or YC they would absolutely kill Stormalong Bay. It's almost too crowded with the rooms they have now, I cannot imagine if they added a whole new tower of guests.

I hadn’t considered this, but you’re right and now I’m worried. We’ve been avoiding Poly and GF (where we own) since the tower opened because the infrastructure was already pretty stretched…the last thing SAB or even the BC lobby needs is 30% increase in guests. I suspect even a flip of YC would make the situation a bit worse because you’d have more families who hang around the resort during the day instead of conventioneers and people focused on maximizing time in park.

PVB I would be buying for access to the tower.

I really think the tower will get easier and easier to trade into as the new tower smell wears off.
The location and views from the longhouses appear to be nicer (especially if you like EPCOT) to say nothing of the extra bed in the studios…I suppose it may stay harder to get the larger villas?
