should SSR reallocate?

....(snip).....And the points could be more for Pfd and DTD view rooms and less for std view rooms. Sure, some people would complain, but it wouldn't stop them from booking the pfd rooms when they want the view/room location!! It falls right in line with the laws of supply & demand....

But as already posted, not in line with the laws of the State of Florida, LOL! Unless Disney is willing to sell less points for SSR than they have already planned, of course. I don't think that's very likey. Still, it's fun to dream!

I just returned from my 1st DVC trip to SSR. We arrived early and were given a room right away. I had requested several different rooms after alot of research. After a very long walk (I took a wrong turn), I arrived at the room. I went out to the balcony and a giant tree was my view. I could see nothing. I was very disappointed. I dragged DH back to the desk to request a move (another long walk). They only had one other choice. I was very surprised and alittle disappointed that I had NO real choice. We had to wait 5 hours for my new room. It ended up being an awesome trip, however it would be nice for DVC owners to have some type of preference. (by the way,after the wrong turn and the five hour wait, my DH told me that I could make no more decisions on this trip..he was perfectly happy where we started). My lesson: be happy with what I get..after all it is ALL MAGICAL at the Mouse House!

I like the idea, too !
DVC owners should have a preferrence.

Couldn't they change the point chart, by dropping "std view" points by x amount, then raising "pfd or DTD view" by x amount. So you wouldn't be changing the number of points, just rebalancing them.

When did they change BWV to Std/pfd. wasn't that after they started selling points?


I am not in favor of changing the point totals in anyway myself, would like if you could book a given area(CP,Grandstand, etc).

BUMP... since this is being discussed again

Yes, the change was made after they started selling points. However, Disney / Develper decided to sell less points than they originally planned, so there was no need to increase the points for a PV room. There was still quite a bit of unsold inventory when the change was made - believe sales weren't going as fast as planned & members were complaining about the points for "inferior" views. Remember all they had to compare to was OKW. The BWV point structure was higher than OKW.

I absolutely do NOT want reallocation of points. I don't want to have to use more points just to get a DTD view or be near the Carriage House. I book at the 11 month window 99% of the time and would much prefer room assignment priority based on when I made my reservation instead.

Agree!! Having certain views cost more at SSR is silly. Give the members that book during their window priority. This should be done at all the resorts.

Right now your getting neither. Your chances of getting what you want is no better than one who booked last month. But this is easily possible and likely simpler to have separate categories at the same points costs.
