Not sure what I think of the Tower Studios. I guess Disney feels like there is enough demand for 2 person suites. It will be interesting to see if they're right on that one. We had set aside funds to purchase a direct contract at Riviera, but now after seeing the rooms and after they announced that resale Riviera contracts would only be allowed to stay at Riviera, I'm keeping my money. Super disappointed today, Disney. Sigh.
The tower rooms are a marketing tool - pure and simple. "Look you can get a room for only 10 points a night!" There will probably be between 10 and 20 of these rooms, and they will always be snatched up by owners at 11 months.
So I have a question that I asked on the other Riviera thread so please don't flame me lol. First, I am not DVC or interested in DVC at this time. I see that there are bookable rooms now on the Disney.go website. I also know that there are other resorts like Beach Club, Boardwalk, Poly etc. that have DVC rooms AND anyone can book at those resorts. I also know those all have Club Level. So my question that got twisted is will Riviera have Club level? That is all I want to know. TIA!
I think this highly unlikely. Eventually the intent is for this to be a fully DVC resort. While they are first selling, there is a large percentage of rooms that will be available for cash bookings (say 50-70% the first year, and dropping with time.) Once the resort is fully sold, there may be some rooms available for cash, but they will be limited.
The other resorts you refer to (Beach Club, Boardwalk, Poly) all have a separate "cash" side and a DVC side that are completely independent rooms - and these are resorts that have club level. The only DVC with ANY club level is at Animal Kingdom - and I don't think they will change that.
