I wouldn't buy for that amount of money.
I wouldn't buy there if the price were $80/point. Now if you ask me about the Poly.........
I will have to admit.....the Poly is our all time favorite. DVC at the Poly...I might act stupid over that.
POLY; can you inagine????!!!!
And that probably illustrates why DVC could get away with this if they are so-inclined. Emotions run so strong for those original resorts that you almost have to throw logic out of the window.
The CR may not be your cup of tea (and the same can be said for many others), but some have as much affection for the CR as you do for the Poly.
I had a nostalgic moment....... reason would win over madness.
But if DVC was dangling the Poly in front of you and the only hang-up was the fact that points cost about 25% more than you expected, would that really be a deal-breaker? I'm sure some would say "yes, it is a deal-breaker." Others would not and the resort would certainly sell-out eventually.
They will not raise the price to $140!! That would mean they'd have to raise the price on AKV to the same cost, and that would just kill sales. Also, it wouldn't be fair that I just bought into SSR at $80 per point and I could possible reserve a room at BLT.
What you have seen is the points per night are higher. And there will probably be no incentives, atleast for now.
