What room improvements would you like to see in future DVC resorts?

Love the extra bathroom idea that they're planning for the AKV villas. I hope that continues.

Love the bench in the master shower. I also hope this continues.

It would be nice if the new DVC resorts offer more space (like OKW). Many of the offsite timeshares offer more space in their rooms. Currently, a two bedroom DVC vacation home for a party of four is great but for a party of 6 to 8 it’s too tight.

For the dedicated two bedrooms, I would like to see seating for six in the living room (sofa, love seat and chair), dining room table for six with chairs instead of a bench and a larger 2nd bedroom so four women sharing a room with two queen beds have enough room for all their stuff.

I would like the Grand Villas, to have more space in the living room, dining room and kitchen like OKW. I really like the extra table in the OKW GV living room for board and card games.

I would also like to see bathroom robe hooks and a hand held shower spray with a long hose in each of the bathrooms.

I'd like a proper dining space in the 1- and 2-bedrooms, instead of a couple of seats here and a couple of seats there.

I'd like a coffee table(s) in the BWV studio!

Oh, and some sort of night table on both sides of the bed in studios!

I want big flat screens. Time to catch up with decent hotels.

Don't forget the HD signal, too! Running Disney's current cable signal to big TVs is only going to exaggerate how bad the quality currently is.

Free internet access - lets catch up with the rest of the hotel industry!

I would also like better dining arrangements. There are not enough chairs for the small table (1 and 2 BR), and the breakfast bar is so skinny it can't really be used for much!

I attended the BWV annual meeting in 2003 and both (coffee table & HDTV) were announced as coming up! But they were not specific on the YEAR .

Can't believe your the only one to mention this after all the debating on the free internet thread.
I would still like to see an adults only/quiet pool area, I love kids but sometimes you want to really relax by the pool or enjoy a hot tub without little one diving in it. DVC has a lot of empty nesters..

I think the rooms are fine as is. I'm not a real big room guy I guess. We love the extra space and having the kitchen/washer and dryer so that suits our needs.

Where I would like to see improvements is general maintainance of the resorts and improved anmenities(sp??). I'd also like to see more activities and scheduled programs for kids at DVC resorts. Child care would also be part of this program as well. Food/drink could be greatly improved as well. Getting a bite to eat shouldn't be such a chore.

Really DVC does a good job but these are areas I'd like to see some improvement and it seems AKV has addressed some on my list.

Get rid of those stupid Thermostats that shut the air off in the middle of the night!!!!!!

I agree! We always bring one with us. That tiny light from the hair dryer just doesn't quite do it!

Disclaimer: none of these comments apply to OKW 1 BR and larger.

I also agree with making the dining area larger. It is ridiculously small for 4 (in any resort other than OKW).

And I like the extra bathroom in AKV. Many times we have friends come up to see us. If there was another bathroom we would have them stay with us. We have tried it with the one bath, but it is very inconvenient.

We are having a family reunion of sorts next year. We will probably just have 4 (total, very small family!), but there is a chance we will have more. We are going for a GV at OKW. There is no way I would put more than 4 in the other DVC resorts. To me, 4 was too crowded in a 2 bedroom. Living room could be larger also. And the balconies could stand to be a few feet wider. Tight squeeze out there. OKW balconies are great.

Things I would not change:
Master bath and BR, great!
2nd bedroom is fine
laundry is fine
closet space is fine
kitchen is a little cramped, but not cramped enough for me to complain about (imagine that!).

 

[spiceycat]

at OKW at least - put in one of those sleeper chair and make the 1-bedroom be for 5.

the others livingroom are probably a little small to allow this.

so make the livingrooms bigger and start putting that in all. If not 2 of them.

the studio would be 4
1-bedroom would be 5 or 6
2-bedroom would be 9 or 10
while
3-bedroom would still be 12

now I don't stay in a 3-bedroom - so don't need if that needs extra sleeping room or not.

free internet would be nice - might even be enough for me to get a lap top - I know I am so far behind most of you.

would love new TV's. want VCR and DVD - also the ability to still record.

ITA with both of these. My first thought when opening this thread was "make them as big and open as OKW."

I totally agree about the dining space.

DH and I shared a 2 BR at BCV with another couple. We ate lunch and dinner out, but had breakfast in. It was ridiculous trying to seat the four of us at that little table at the same time for breakfast.

Can't imagine trying to squeeze us in for dinner with the extra plates and dinners. If the 2BR's are designed to sleep 8, then there should be reasonable dining space for at least six.

In addition, I would love to see some studios be designed with a King Sized bed, rather than a queen and a sleep sofa.

It would also be great if going forward, they soundproofed the rooms like at SSR. We love that the rooms there are so quiet

Lastly, it would be cool if they all had OKW points charts JK!

 

[DVC Grandpa]

Just a larger hook on the bathroom door would be nice although a larger shelf so that my shaving kit wouldn’t keep falling into the sink would also be a plus.

 

[FreeTime]

Larger eating area, larger balconies (like OKW)

WOW, I could not agree more with you!!! Just like Disney cruise line does it, their adult pool is a slice of heaven on earth. Yes, I would LOVE this at the villas.

Make the one bedrooms so 3 teenage children can sleep comfortably. Then we wouldn't have to bring our aero bed.
