Why is WDW not currently building any more Value or Moderate resorts??
I think Universal is using this to get the upper hand. They opened their second “value” resort equivalent this year with a third to open next year. They are making a Universal resort stay more and more affordable while Disney continue to focus on the elite. What I don’t know is why that’s Disney’s game plan as of late. I think Walt would turn over in his grave if he knew
As a long time DVC member my thought is, from experience, the advanced booking times are getting ridiculous. 7-11 months in advance because of growing membership and lack of availability. Plus the fact they do not release all rooms that are on site to members because they can charge rack and discounted rate to non members who want to have these types of rooms. DVC is an extremely profitable venture for them. Regardless of what I’ve just mentioned, DVC is great and we are so glad we joined back in 2006.
You raise a valid point, it’s almost double dipping on Disney’s part because once someone’s bought into DVC, not even all the rooms at a “DVC Resort” are available to those members! I remember last year for the first time ever we were not able to book at our home resort at the 11 month window!
I was shocked and really pissed off that we got waitlisted, but of course we had the option pay cash for the room – after buying in to DVC and paying annual dues I could pay even more cash to stay at my home resort!
