Spring Direct Incentives 2/9-4/27

My theory remains that the refurbs for every resort will come with a big dues increase afterwards. The amortization for refurbs would have began on pre-covid pricing. When the bill comes due for the post-covid refurb, the dues will adjust accordingly. At a minimum, I think a little bit of "catch up" is unavoidable.

Maybe the bean counters have the good sense to increase the budget for the refurb based on inflation levels AND making up for the years they collected at pre-covid levels.

There is definitely logic to your thought process. I would prefer that they have the dues set at the replacement cost of the standard of amenities and appliances when the resort was new and not to downgrade them overtime.

Exactly.... at a minimum...

Look at what they did at VGF in the 2022 refurb....

TVs in bathroom... gone
Paneling on Refrigerator... gone...

Murphy Bed style shrunk from original renderings...

all are cost cutting moves...

How about maintaining (or exceeding) the type of standard we were promised with the refurbs...

The BWV refurbs I think could have been much more a step up than they were...

Some have been a tremendous success though like Boulder Ridge... and a newer resort, Bay Lake Tower... Animal Kingdom was mostly solid, though removing the lamps and shrinking the tub is a bit of a slap in the face...

Couldn't agree more to all of this...
