I think the Lake view are high enough. If they were going to re-do the points for the parking lot I would recommend increasing garden view (current standard view). I haven't look at the numbers but since there are so many standard views it would have less impact maybe a point or two, and give the ability to lower parking lot view points.
I'm not sure how the numbers would work for that, since there are so many garden view rooms compared to those few parking lot view- I think it's something like only 36? 42? parking lot view compared to 200-300 garden view, something like that. So I thought the ratio of lake view 2nd and 3rd floor, I think 48 of those rooms, would be much closer for increasing/decreasing points.
But while I agree that the lake view studios are already expensive points-wise, I think there is a case to made that these particular units have a view that is not available anywhere else in the DVC system. They have a perfect straight-on view of the castle, with beach, lake, and some bungalow underneath. VGF does not offer a castle view with any unit. BLT has theme park view, but it's somewhat off to the side, and completely bare parking lot/roadway/bus terminals underneath.
These 48 units in Moorea (and the bungalows), are the only DVC units that offer a perfect picturesque castle view like you would see in a magazine right from your balcony, so I think a case could be made that these units could have a high premium.
