Spring Direct Incentives 2/9-4/27

If you read the thread the poster that it was in response to said that they didnt want to stay at Poly because the point chart was too high. All future resorts will have a high point chart compared to older resorts. So then it became they wanted a blue card for sorcerer's pass not for future resorts. It was not a blanket statement for everyone it was for the people who dont want to stay at new resorts.

I think you are correct about new resorts having higher point charts.

LSL will be the first resort where we find this out. Does Disney think LSL is better than BRV and CCV? BRV will go away in 2042 and likely be replaced.

Lazy river is a smart addition to entice people. I believe Great Wolf put a resort near DL. With Florida having hot as Hades humidity in the summer, better pools are an inexpensive way to make their resorts and DVC better.

Yep. People go gaga over SAB so maybe they are betting on that being the shining star of LSL. It may not have charts as high as Poly Tower but if not it won’t be much less. Basically 0% chance it will have BRV/CCV charts. If it did it would sell out so quick imo.

My guess along with everyones that CFW will be rolled into LSL.

With that I'm betting the studios will be priced the same as the cabins with location to the lazy river being the justification and if you want more space you can still grab a cabin.

Then the 1 bedrooms at LSL will actually have laundry and cost more of an average of CCV/PVB,RIV/VGF.

I think this depends on what the rooms look like. If they are larger and better appointed, then the answer is probably yes.

Yep. There are many ways for them to justify LSL having a higher points chart than CCV/BRV - being new construction, they aren't going be space constrained like they were with CCV.

I think the more interesting bet is will it exceed RIV's point chart? My money is on yes, but I could see someone taking the other side of that bet.

It will be the same or more than RIV no chance it’s less. My bet is on more.

All I ask from LSL is a washer and dryer in the room on 1 bedrooms and higher

We have owned DVC since 2009 and go several times per year. Despite that every single trip I say multiple times, how much I love the washer and dryer and how much I underestimated the need for it. I can’t imagine NOT having a w&d in our room.

I didn't realize it's 24x18"... very nice! I would love one, but didn't add on there

If I can't do laundry, am I even on vacation?

(That is rhetorical. My ex and I used to say that "roughing it" was when the condo did not have in-unit laundry.)

lol we just go through so many clothes that it is a requirement for us.

It is torture when we are in a studio lol

The washer/dryer is a big reason we needed more points! I loved having it during our WDW trip last year. We didn't have one at VGC and really missed it.

Two costly Disney mistakes for us.

1. DW's 50th trip (so much pixie dust), ended up buying first DVC contract with the 2009 webcast incentives a month later. Already said no more contracts too many times. I would like to say no more, but I really do want a RIV resale (w
2. Staying in a 1BR a couple times. Once you're used to them, studios feel like roughing it. Not sure I can even get DW to stay in a studio anymore. Only exception is probably PVB longhouse.

Right..but in your other post you didn’t seem to encourage a direct buy for this

I continued to buy direct long after I had reached blue card status because:
1. I wanted the points immediately
2a. I wanted my points freely usable at all current and future resorts.
2b. I wanted Riviera but did not want to be stuck there exclusively.
3. Paying the additional cost to get direct over resale didn't bother me.

ETA:
4. I didn't want to wait around for the right point total in the right use year to appear.
5. I wanted a specific FW at CCV.
