Why Doesn’t Disney Build Value or Moderate Resorts Anymore?

[Miffy]

There is even talk about the possibility that Disney might convert more rooms at AKL to DVC at some point. They must be having trouble filling those rooms at sky high pricing.

I imagine so. For example, they used to fill those rooms with me for 2 weeks a year, but these days even the bounceback rate at AKL is sky-high. That plus LLs = staying at POFQ.

And I think Disney knows this. They know the ceiling is near. I still feel like the decline of the theming in the rooms could be because Disney is looking to off load the resorts division of the company in the future.

That's possible, but I also think tastes in hotel decor have changed. A lot of the highly-themed hotels in Las Vegas have also shifted to plain decor in the rooms.

Nah the rooms are now designed in a minimalist style. Which in simple terms means easier to clean / dust, just like the removal of the carpets in the rooms.

Disney still want's complete control of the Resort experience. They learned the hard way with what happened around Disneyland resort.

Oh that makes sense, especially with housekeeping being understaffed.

Because they can build a DVC property and make $1 trillion

What DVC is doing now, is build a 'tower ' or take a building at a preexisting resort.
The resort gets a free upgrade/remodel paid for by DVC. HUGE win for that resort.
Disney is following the money.

I can rent a DVC at a Deluxe Property for the same price as a Moderate that Disney sells.
I used to stay at the Value's but for a small amount of money extra I can stay at a deluxe instead by renting points.

Ya, I could be wrong. It all just makes me wonder.
