Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Hard to believe people have that much money to burn According to the rumor mill, they don't. The theory behind the rumor that a huge chunk of Wilderness Lodge is going to be converted to DVC rooms is that Disney has horrible occupancy rates on the deluxe hotels. Despite the low occupancy, they have steadfastly refused to reduce the rack rates to put heads in the beds. They don't want to devalue their product. I guess this is what all those MBA's in charge learned in business school. So, that opens the door to converting deluxe rooms into DVC rooms. That's what's happening at the Polynesian resort right now. A good portion of the room inventory is being converted to DVC rooms. And, supposedly, the Wilderness Lodge is next.

TCD Considering that, and how small but popular the Beach Club DVC is....I wonder if it would make sense to convert the entire Yacht Club into DVC? Or since the existing BC DVC is on the opposite side of BC from the YC, maybe converting a big chunk of BC and adding it onto the existing DVC makes more sense.

Why don't you prepare a resume and send it to Disney? They are looking for people who think like you. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Well, it looks like they have a hit on their hands. US News & World Report named the Four Seasons Orlando the best hotel in Orlando. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/travel/attractions/the-daily-disney/hotels/os-four-seasons-best-hotel-orlando-story.html The hotel is the only central Florida hotel on the magazine's Best Hotels in the USA list.
