I mean, booking two of these studios connecting is still going to be a 45-70 point per night investment, its not exactly a bargain, especially with how many new owners will buy the minimum 150. Doing this is going to be more akin to 2BRs, and really not 1BRs at all. So will there be demand for this? yeah, of course, but lets be real that many owners aren't going to have the budget for that.
Oh, I agree most new owners won't buy enough points to book 2 Rstus OR a 1br either one. I wasn't looking at that prospect drawing anyone who can only add 150 points unless they're DVC-savvy enough to do all the finagling to acquire more than 2-3 nights at that level VGF stay, i.e. they've a few SAP points to mix in.
I disagree that trying for 2 studios will be more akin to booking a 2br. I can see 2 Rstus being very appealing to families with pre/teens who may not care they don't get connecting (in fact might even prefer they don't!); kids on another floor isn't an issue.
For instance, parents bringing college-age siblings--they're all adults. Who cares? People bringing another 2-5 member family (relatives or friends) may not care they don't get connecting; it's still the same building by booking 2 Rstus. There's no additional charge for more than 2 adults in the room--could be a very popular category for single adults with friends. None of these will necessarily care they're not in connecting. Same building with easier access than VGF1 to amenities could be their aim, as could no food-fixing amenities.
Obviously, the ones interested in 2 Rstus being close in points to a 1br who
do care about connecting will be families with younger kids. And they might easily decide not to risk getting unconnecting Rstus since it's request-only. They may already be going for the 1br
because of the full kitchen and washer-dryer. If not, they're likely to stay in a single studio. I think it unlikely there'll be enough such to drive 2-Rstu or 1br demand to any extent. College looming being a big motivator to hold off on buying more/some VGF points.
We also haven't factored how many families with kids won't want VGF points at all. BRV, CCV, BLT, Poly all have more kid appeal than the stuffy old GF.
And that's another factor that could mean VGF points won't necessarily fly out--how very many find VGF snooty/stuffy/too granny, etc. We encounter a lot who say politely, "Well, I'm glad
you like it there," managing not to run screaming to get away from the lunatics.
