Poll-Where would you like the next DVC to be?

[spiceycat]

more people actually want the Cont over the Polyn - this is a FIRST...

there was a link on the disney resorts to the newletter - but for some reason it got taken off.

the new Cont is (if the rumors are true) - window and wood - I would think that would be impossible - you are walking about a cement/steel building - but hey WDW has works wonders before....however it will be a convention hotel. So I am not sure about adding DVC there.

 

[athenna]

I want the AKL!

 

[ricapito]

As long as its something that will attract a lot of interest to take away from BCV and BWV (such as AK or a monrail resort) I will be happy. I think the rest will just increase further the demand pool for BCV and BWV (and VWL). Sure a lot of us will go to Hawaii, Tokyo or Colorado once or twice (maybe a lot for some) but it seems like any of these other owners will have a lot more reason to come to WDW and guess where they will want to stay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even Eagle Pines will end up like SSR with a large group wanting to stay at the high demand Resorts. Just my opinion.

It's official: I knew we couldn't possibly have a thread without someone from the BCV et al tiny-resort camp weaving in a self-important and completely unfounded "we are morally superior, exclusive, and we think our resorts are better than yours" innuendo. Let's call it what it is, shall we (of course this is a generalization not applicable to all). DVC sold many of us on the concept of multiple resorts...

Caribbean (St. Johns) followed by Poly or the Animal Kingdom. Contemporary and Eagle Pines are of absolutely no interest.

 

[crisi]

I don't think they'll do it, and I'm not sure if it would be my first choice, but a DVC ship has also been bandied about.

I think my first choice would be Carribean - or the Mexican Riviara.

First, why do you mention BCV and not BWV? Second it is just my explanation of to why I voted Contemporary (but also like the idea of Poly or AK as I noted). I think those locations could reduce pressure on the BCV / BWV / VWL reservations -again as I noted. The others IMHO can only compound the reservation problems for BCV/BWV/VWL.

As a BCV / VWL owner what I am saying can only lower the resale value of my investment. But why would I want that (especially if we are "morally superior"). Because its about increasing the chances of EVERYONE in DVC to get into these "currently" highly desireable locations-especially not owners-we can always get in between 8 and 11 months.

DVC sold you on the concept of multiple resorts? Why would you have a problem with what I am saying then? You are the one who doesn't like the idea of Contemporary and also seem to have a problem with the suggestion that a resort like that (or AK or monorail) could open up BCV / BWV / WLV.

If sky rocketing resale prices, no availabilty at 7 months and long waitlists make a resort "morally superior, exclusive, and are better than yours" then so be it. But why not level the playing field with something as or more desireable-give it some competition.

Tough choice. I picked AKL but the GC at DL was very close second.

 

[lenshanem]

I voted AKL cause I love the place and I think it is doable. Now I would LOVE a Poly, but from what I have read the land there is not suitable to add onto.

I think the Contemporary would be easy for DVC to add onto and I can see the rumor being very reasonable. Rip down those garden wings!

Interesting, the Contemporary does nothing for me at all, buy hubby said the other day he'd add on if they built there. I won't argue with extra points!

Atlantic City --a gambling thing-more grown up entertainment area or Vegas

 

[MJTinNH]

Since you're just asking where I would "like" the next DVC to be built; I voted the Polynesian. Love that area.

Your first post squarely implied BCV and BWV were somehow overwhelmed by "all the other resort owners"- which there is no empirical evidence to support. The anecdotal poll here a few weeks back showed around 20% of folks or so actually having trouble at 7 months out. That is far from "no availability at 7 months and long waitlists." You also infer, as others do as well, that unless DVC builds a resort on the monorail or at AKL that it will just result in all those buyers trying to get into BCV or BWV. You then group SSR into that group too, of course there is no evidence to support that either....

 

[CRSNDSNY]

I'd love a monorail DVC.

So you actually dont think there is a higher demand for BCV/BWV/VWL than OKW or SSR? Then why are the resales sales so high, and the waitlist to buy so long-isnt that evidence? 20% of 90,000 members is 18,000 members having a waitlist at 7 months,-that is a long list (sounds like evidence to me), plus what are the chances at 3 months? And what I meant by "no availability" was what you often here that when booking BCV/BWV/WLV at less than 7 months, but not as often as OKW/SSR. And yes I do "INFER" that building a monorail resort or AK would help level the playing field with BCV/BWV/WLV without any "evidence" to support that-like I said that is my opinion. I just think if DVC builds at Colorado (Or EP, Japan, Hawaii, and wherever else you could think of to lower the percent that votes for Contemporary) many of those owners will also want to travel to WDW and will show more interest in the EPCOT resort area or VWL (again my opinion) whereas if they build at AK/Poly/Cont many owners at BCV/BWV/VWL like myself (as well as OKW/SSR) will want to reserve at those resorts reducing interest in BCV/BWV/VWL-you guessed it, my opinion and the reason for my vote.

 

[mark&sue]

Disneyland Paris badly needs a DVC. I have just used 165 points for three nigths at DLP New York Hotel. I know it will never happen as Disney sold land to Marriot for timeshare so no hope but I can dream!!

All the DVCs in WDW are good value. I also think DL needs a DVC.

Here's hoping.

Considering how long it took to sell out OKW and VB, I think they should stick to on site.

 

[ricapito]

I am always amazed that the percentages dont change much from when there are 25, 50 votes, or 150 votes. In my last 2 polls within 25 or so votes the range was pretty fixed and didn't change much right up until the poll disappeared on to page 2.... I'm starting to believe in the accuracy of polls more now...

Washington D.C. There is a terrific amount of things to see and do there.

 

[DrBond007]

I don't think they'll do it, and I'm not sure if it would be my first choice, but a DVC ship has also been bandied about.

Agreed, this would be nice. The point price for a cruise is not reasonble.

Funny how the magic is lost when you live here (metro DC) along with the traffic and crime.

Well, I'd have to bow to your experience. We've only had some very short visits. Amazing our nation's capital would be such. But if you live there and report it wouldn't be a good idea, that certainly is more knowledgable than my nieve view.

Then I would have to vote for close proximity to a national park, like the Grand Canyon, Rocky Mountains, a great ski lodge with summer activities, etc.
