Ohhhh, I wish I could see the pictures. They aren't showing on my computer but I do not have twitter.
Thanks for the pictures. These are HUGE compared to the ski lift gondolas I've been on.
That's what I was thinking when I saw the photos. I guess the ski lift gondolas aren't designed to load snowmobiles, whereas there's talk people will be able to drive ECVs straight into the Skyliner gondolas?
Correct. These are urban transport carriages.
Great! Then they should be able to handle my giant twin pram
Did the DVC tour the other day. We never did the tour before we bought we were there with a relative who is not a member. The DVC guide said that they estimate CCV to be sold out sometime in December. No date for Riveria to go on sale, no price set on Riveria. He hinted at price as $200+ most likely. He made it sound that it will be a deluxe resort along the lines of VGF.
Sounds like the guide really wanted to move some CCV points. CCV is roughly 3/4 declared after 1.5 years. Is the guide predicting a DOUBLING of monthly sales? They'd have to offer extraordinary incentives to accomplish that.Did the DVC tour the other day. We never did the tour before we bought we were there with a relative who is not a member.

Or, the guide could be telling a half truth(!) based on a few pieces of insider information they amalgamated? Maybe a price increase for CCV is planned in December as CCV nears sell out, ahead of release of information and presale of Riviera in early 2019?
There are also rumors that the Epcot international gate might be closed during later November and the first half of December. This will supposedly be so that the gondola CABLES can be strung through the area.
Seems a little bit premature to me. I think the rumor is wrong. If they are putting up the cables in December, then there is no need to wait clear until next fall to have the gondola is up and running.

I’m right there with you - if true I find it inexcusable to not give advance notice to guests. I’m already irritated with the late announcement of AKV’s pool closure and shutting down Raffiki’s and the sudden jump in food prices, etc..I understand construction causing a closing. I understand last minute closings due to problems, but a last minute closure announcement after everyone has made dining plans and fastpasses and (if they wait much longer) members points would go into holding...... that's total bull****.
If they'd announced at 7 months, people could have at least had some choices. THEY have some choice in the matter. If this is true, they're gonna shut it down after F&W and have it back open by Christmas / New Years crowds....so convenient for them.
I'm editing to be overdramatic...
I think Disney is out to get me. My family's only request was the Star Wars Dessert Party (not running during our visit). Already broke the news to them.
Ticket changes are on the same day as my FP date (10/16). How much you wanna bet the site will be down?
I just spent 3 days tweaking ADRs and laying out our plans for FPs and would have switched my Epcot days to the end of our stay (we have a couple of days after the 18th) had I known sooner. I'm pretty much out of time now. ( I do have a life.)
This is our first DVC stay as a family and we're bringing D20's boyfriend. I've been so excited and pumping everyone up. Now I can't fill everyone's 1 request (dessert party), will probably not get the FPs we want, and will not be able to enjoy the #1 reason we purchased a 2042 resort over somewhere else..... walk to 2 parks.
Yes, I'm aware I'm whining. I just need to get it out.
While I understand the sentiment, this is the nature of Disney and timeshares. From a Disney standpoint they've never been good at planning, notifying guests about such issues. On the timeshare side, there are things that happen over time and need to be done and guests are going to have less options to avoid it than on the hotel side. Late Nov and early Dec are relatively low seasons overall for Disney even though they are high seasons for DVC. The point being this is basically the nature of the beast whether this exact issue ends up being a problem or not. It's something one should consider before buying into a timeshare since we're a more captive audience than the hotel population.I understand construction causing a closing.
