I don't know what to make of all these good deals! I think
DisneyLand Forward is going to happen, so VDH will be in great positioning to be rental points and great SAP as direct points. But, we're on the East Coast, and how often would we need/want VDH points? But I look at VGC inflation, and while I don't think VDH has the same cache, it's still a great resort, from the looks of it anyway.
OKW, we did a resort-only stay there and LOVED it. I think it's only a matter of time before the Skyliner is extended SOMEWHERE, and why not to OKW/SS and Disney Springs line? They'd goose the profit margins on all the resorts over there that are car/bus dependent. Those grand villas are amazing. Heck, the one-bedroom was wonderful -- for cheap! There's the new drone show at Springs. Do they extend the Skyliner to help the evening crowds at MK, running through OKW/SS/Port Orleans/Riverside?
Riviera we already own enough of, but if we needed more points, I'd be game.
What does this mean for Poly and Poly resale? I was eyeing resale, but if they close the gap between the two, maybe wait for all direct points and instant gratification and two more blue cards to pass down to the kids so they'd each have an Epcot/MK direct card/points to inherit? There's a ton of rerouting on Floridian Way for traffic. How are they going to handle the monorail/Poly influx of people at the Poly tower and looky-loos? How popular is Poly going to be when on sale if we hit recession? I know the economy is supposedly booming right now, but I think we're overdue for a recession. Could there be deals if we wait?
Who's next for a fire sale? I'm thinking Animal Kingdom has a bazillion points, and if they're expanding/updating Animal Kingdom park with Joe Rhode supervising, is that the sleeper hit of the future? How many points did they buy back last year at CC? Enough to do a fire sale there? Animal Kingdom is one of my favorites, not my husband's, but it's due for a refurbishment in 2025. What if they nail it and it can be bought for cheap?
Still no desire for CFW, but for folks that are Cabin-curious, this is a nice way to buy in and possibly blend points with another resort to maximize the promotions.
I have analysis paralysis. Bingo card is blown!
