We just returned from DL today and basically we were told that they are not at liberty to say anything, but did mention that we should remember that BCV and VWL were add on to existing resorts and it should be easy enough to find space at GC.

ramkam said:Right now, the DVC reps at DLR have no info on future developement that they are sharing. On our trips to DL there are never many people at the DVC stands. DVC claims lots of interest. However, they have a problem in that vistors to DLR are not the capitive audience that you get at WDW so many people sign up for the DVC presentation but do not come back.
Are they still doing virtual tours? There were rumors a while back that they would construct model SSR rooms.LeftCoaster said:While they have been having problems with people following up with the tours, they have been selling much more points than the average WDW customer. If I remember correctly, I was told that the average contract sold at DL was over 300 points.

deerh said:I hope DVC DL does NOT happen. I cannot see the support of DVC'ers to Calif.
deerh said:Let's review....
MOST DVC'ers live in the east (EST), NY, Mass,etc, etc. Would the majority of these people spend a lot of airfare to fly out to see a VERY URBAN DL (like visiting a city)
deerh said:Where do I back up these opinions?? I have talked to a TON of people at WDW, from Calif, and they ALL say it stinks, it is too small, too urban, etc. I cannot get over how many people fly 3000 miles just to come to WDW when they have DL in their own backyard..
deerh said:I do not see what all the DL hype is about, JMHO....
deerh said:I guess we will agree to disagree on this one. I don't see avg east coast DVC'ers spending $400 airfare (us x4)=$1600 to visit a "lesser" Disneyworld....

By GrimG:Your assumption is that DVD would build a DVC resort on the West Coast so East Coasters would have another place to use their points, or to add on at DL, which is not the case at all. They would build it get more of the Western US market to buy into DVC. They want to sell to people like my Sister, who makes the 5 hour drive (well, 4 hours with my brother-in-law driving) at least once a year to go to Disneyland, but has never been to WDW. Just because someone in NY isn't going to want to buy at DL doesn't mean the rest of the World isn't going to.
deerh said:So, are YOU (as a west coaster) ready to spend that money for 1 resort????? I cannot see it.
mikesmom said:How many of us current owners would get addonitis if there were more rooms built at HHI, or some in Colorado, New Mexico, NYC, the Keys? If they were small and in desirable areas, I can see them going a lot faster than the original offsite DVC.
Think about it. BWV, BCV and WVL sold out at a lot faster rate than the original OKW. Sometimes it takes a little buzz to get things going. JMHO.
I'm very surprised to hear that! Yes, they have the kiosk there at the Plaza Pavillion. However, that's the one that I went by numerous times this past weekend, and there was never a DVC rep there. One time, I got my hopes up that maybe finally someone was there, only to see that it was being used as horizontal space for paperwork, I think they were CMs from the pin carts near there. I went over and checked, and they weren't affiliated with DVC. Looked like a pretty unused kiosk on a pretty busy weekend.LeftCoaster said:For now they are. I'm not sure how soon it's supposed to be done but, DVC is apaprently taking over the Plaza Pavilion at the end of Main Street. right now, that is where the kiosk is but, apparently, soon, the whole building will fall into the hands of DVC.
I've heard that one of the problems that they've had with people not actually going on the tours is that many don't want to have to leave the park and go to the current preview center. Lazy I know, but believeable.
