Agree...and I think you - we - are in the DVC majority here.
They would have to make concessions they don't want to make.
If there's no access (which would cost a fortune)...they cant price this like the DVC model.
So do they sell the points at half price?
Not happening
Or make the rooms 5 points a night? Again...not happening. Remember that the number of points in the
point chart directly correlates to how many points they can sell. That's lost money again.
So where does this model work?
They're gonna try to sell this at full price and make rooms 15 points a night...they'll just say that it's a "deal" compared to the poly and whatever ridiculous rates they charge at wilderness lodge
I know...pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
I'm really fascinated by this...I don't see the angle unless it's just "market stupidity" by DVC or the consumer...maybe a little of both. They may already know that people will by this without question. I've seen dumber
But there's a lot of ideas here that don't work.
I saw "stormalong bay" suggested...no way in hell. That ship has sailed. Why put that kind of overhead in the budget when they can get away with the more "modest" Pools built since? No reason.
Rooftop lounge? That one is packed at contemporary for roughly 11 minutes per night...then more or less a ghost town the other 8 hours a night.
Not to mention food...Caribbean has nothing of note or anything comparable to any dvc except OKW and Saratoga...and that's still much better.
