preliminary unconfirmed pricing information for new bungalows

[OldsDr]

Gonna have to disagree...

In the case of a studio - a fridge, microwave, and an annual maintenance fee is not a "step up" from a daily housekeeper.

And the bungs are not a good value for the cost Invested... So "step up" applies much more to the other dvcs than this one.

You can say the contract provided more value...but not a "step up" in many cases.

And if you look at the "plenty of room, plenty of ideas"...I'm gonna have to disagree there as well.

Kidani I guess qualifies...but the last "new" DVC built in Orlando prior was boardwalk and OKW...

They have only done converts and add ons... Pretty easy to see why...
They don't want the overhead of services and employees...so you just crowd the existings...

DVC already cuts responsibility...add ons do it x2...converts x3.

We're not even close to "new ideas"...

Now...id love to see a new spot somewhere near MGM...maybe the "entrance" type hotel that is features beautifully overseas..
But that's along way away and may never happen.

What they really have to do is get enough inventory to keep selling until 2042. I don't see them ever reducing the cost per point for the active property. Such as when PVB is almost sold out (for sake of argument the price remains $160/point the entire time) the next actively marketed resort will have to be $160 or above per point. When trying to market a resort after marketing arguably the most popular WDW resort where will they be able to get $160 per point or more?

The most popular rumor is VWL conversion is next ($160/pointy there seems way out of whack, but that has not stopped them before)


But the big conversion to really give them time to build a brand new resort will be yacht and beach. With the way yacht and beach are set up a complete conversion of beach leaving yacht cash could get the $160 or more per night by selling the location and the pool.

Then they can add a new DVC on the other side of TTC and viola they have a new monorail resort without adding a monorail. Then they build a DVC past Contemporary on Bay Lake that they can market back door access to the MK. Getting $250per point and recouping the investment very quickly.

I won’t be buying, but someone will.

I am a very happy owner of SSR and some day will venture to BLT, VGF and VP but am very happy to wait for one night that I may accidentally catch. $160 OMG not for me.

Why does everyone "hate on" the SSR villas so much? Is it just because they aren't monorail accessible?

Saratoga was built on the failed site of the disney institute...so no - location is not ideal.

But it's more that that.

It was built cheaply using repurposed space and built way too big. This coincides with phoney real estate and by extension credit value.

It was a cash grab pure and simple.

Also, it flooded 40% of the inventory at the time into the system for what's the most likely least desirable location.

To this day - last to be book with the highest number of owners.

The point chart is too high...more than the directly comparable old key west and the same or even more than better locations.

Resales available are probable 50-70% Saratoga...so there's that too.

So that's it in 5 nutshells.

Now..they've made improvements and its getting better...expanded downtown will help. But it still represents a strain on the system unlikely to be completely fixed.

And I'm an "owner". Reality is reality though.

DVC owners help me out here. When I did the tour they told me it would cost around 20 grand.So now if I wanted Poly it would be alot more correct?
