When will SSR finally sell out ?

[dianeschlicht]

This seems to be everyone's favorite quote post. However, unlike above, it is the assumption I would take issue with. SSR has a point structure higher than OKW though neither is located near a park. SSR is generally less than the park DVC's. Animal Kingdom brought a whole new direction of how DVC does points. For most of its rooms (savanna view which will be 80% of all rooms) and except for January when it is the same, its point cost is higher than BCV, BWV and VWL It thus is not located at a park but received the highest point structure yet for 80% of its rooms. It does have animals and a uniqueness.

CRV, if it ever comes into being, is, by my best quesstimate, going to be higher in points needed for a room than AKV savanna view. I believe a conservative estimate is that cost per night may be 5% to 10% higher as it will be touted as the first monorail/MK resort. Moreover, if announced while AKV is still selling, they will raise the price per point by $7 or more but actually keep AKV close to its price at the time by simply raising the incentive per point to keep it there, and offer only a small incentive on CRV and see how it flies.

I think you are absolutely correct with those assumptions. I think the cost of CRV, should it come to pass, will be higher per point and also higher per stay. I do expect there will be more than one room catagory though too. I can't see how a view of the waterway will be as much as a view of the castle.

Everyone has their own opinions.... I will NEVER stay at AKV because it DOES NOT appeal to anyone in my family at all. CRV if it ever comes to be doesn't appeal to me that much either. We LOVE SSR and given a choice between the three it would definitely be the chosen one!

I agree.

The demand for being able to be on the monorail in 10 mins, from the time you leave your room will be huge.

Is it really that useful? In the time you walk from CRV to the Contemporary, through the concourse up to the monrail, ride the monrail, stop at the TTC, Poly & GF you could just walk out the front and straight to the MK. It might be faster going back, or useful if your going to Epcot, but otherwise it's only a 1/2 mile from CRV to the the MK maingate.

I see you have a trip planned to WDW in 5 mths. I looks like you are staying at numerous resorts, none of which are SSR?

We have six stays so far at SSR. If you notice we are staying at Vero Beach, Old Key West and Beach Club Villas this time. I said I didn't like AKL or the idea so much of the Contemporary and that out of those two or SSR, we would choose SSR.

We spent a night at AK this past Christmas. I doubt if we will stay again, but it is the type of resort that we would enjoy spending a late afternoon at along with an evening meal. I am very happy you are enjoying SSR.
