Next DVC resort?

[DoubleBaconBLT]

I can see the RIV expansion possibility. But I think the next wave of DVCs will also follow the park expansions. The largest expansions are at the MK. And yes, LSL will be a MK area resort--the third such MK area offering in the last ten years. But I can also see the appeal of having something closer to the park in terms of expansion. I can see a possibility that, as construction finishes on Cars / Villains, the team then focuses on an adjacent DVC hotel, perhaps on the Adventureland pad or maybe on the laydown yard that is being used now for construction set up. But I think a hotel that has direct access to the MK, especially with the two new lands, would be a huge selling point for DVC. As DVC expands, the DVD sales strategy seems clearly to be to go back to the same set up customers--again--to sell them more points. And those new resorts need to offer something more to existing owners (hello lazy river and maybe hello direct access to the MK).

It would be SO awesome if they added a second entrance to MK that was only accessible to Deluxe guests.

Your point about MK expansion has me thinking about the future value of DVC contracts that are close to MK. I would guess that whenever Cars & Villains come online, demand will be HUGE. Not me, mulling over a speculative bet on a timeshare flip...

A dedicated DVC Y entry would probably move a lot of direct points…. Doesn’t even need to be its own gate, just a dedicated lane or two for each park… in theory the tap points should move faster if you only had DVC guests…

The problem I see is if they try to add like do you need to be staying on points like how they do it for the lounges and inevitably resale only members will probably try to get in. We're still struggling with CM education about who qualifies for DVC discounts

Not if me and my non-functional finger prints were involved

My son can never get his work when scanning in

Yup you are not alone, I have to have them look at my picture constantly.

DL has facial and so I never have to worry about my finger there

This would require either (a) CMs checking DVC digital cars at the gate (which would be super slow) or (b) Disney IT integrating various identifiers from the DVC system into MDE in a way that they were updated in real time (which would likely be a disaster)

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

Hear hear!

I'm open to this idea, but I think I'd need Yacht/Beach Club to be significant updated so that I no longer feel that I'm living inside of a John Hughes movie each time I stay there. More than once I've considered simply walking around Beach Club and peppering John Hughes quotes into my conversation to see if anyone notices. "Life moves pretty fast..."... "when you grow up, your heart dies".... "then I sorta watched myself from the inside..." ... and so on.

Looks like my mom is in good company! She's accidentally clogged the AP line a few times with a finger that won't scan.

They can change the purple "welcome home" sound into a Maleficent cackle and send you to a different tapstile

Is this because of the theming?

I love John Hughes movies so that may be why I enjoy Y&B Club
