I'm also not a fan of CCV/WL, but don't tell anyone because I think there's some law against that!

OMG! is this even allowed?.....

 

[HIRyeDVC]

I don't know if that's true.

I think you tend to see more variation in prices on the broker sites with less inventory. But 2 of the best deals I've ever gotten were on dvcresalemarket.

obviously not true for you from your experience. and you may be right. i'm just making a general observation. my personal experience with DVCRM was awesome, albeit, I wish I had paid a little less. But who doesn't want that?

I know, right?! I have some very good friends who don't know this about me and I'm pretty sure they would disown me if they did

 

[CaptainAmerica]

I'm not who you were referring to, but....that's me too. I've stayed at AKL twice and hope never to do that again. And I have no desire to EVER stay at RIV, although it does look kind of pretty.

I'm also not a fan of CCV/WL, but don't tell anyone because I think there's some law against that!

Again, not who you were asking, but....YUP! Is there some connection?

DVC has Fancy People, Theme People, Chill People, Epcot People, and Monorail People.

There is some overlap, but "Theme" and "Fancy" are mutually exclusive at WDW (they intersect in Anaheim and Ko Olina). Fancy people like VGF and RIV, Theme people like AKV, BRV, CCV, and PVB.

The only people who dislike both Theme and Fancy are Beach Club people. They're closely related to Boardwalk people but their obsession with Stormalong Bay (it's not that good!) gives them a unique edge.

(Tag yourself, I'm Theme / Chill.)

 

[CaptainAmerica]

It really is. As long as you're good with Ocean View, seven months is pretty golden. (Thanksgiving and Xmas require home resort advantage etc)

I tried for an OV 2BR Dedicated in February and I ended up paying cash for 4 of 8 nights.

this is a hilariously brilliant analysis. I am definitely a NOT a "fancy" person as I don't care for VGF and RIV, but I love me some VGC, but not because of its "fanciness" but because of it's theming, similar to WL, AKL, and AUL. So I guess that makes me a "theme" person. But I also do love me some BCV and Stormalong Bay. What does this make me? A fancy themer?

I'd rather tell my friends my position on same sex marriage or abortion than to disclose something like this!

You need to start a thread "DVC Stereotypes" and get this ball rolling.... I am new to DVC but I can already tell I identify with a lot of your theories....

That's wild. I thought for sure we would have issues booking for this July but I got exactly what we wanted with no issues (2 bedroom and a 1 bedroom island/garden views).

The problem is, if your top trait is being a monorail person, you don't have many choices. And you REALLY don't have many choices if you can't get by with only studios.

If Animal Kingdom were on the Monorail, I'd take that all day long! Except I still wouldn't own it, because my wife doesn't care for the rooms at all.

So funny!
@CaptainAmerica create a DVC resort stereotype thread in the DVC Resort forum so we can continue this discussion. Otherwise I suspect some "Fancy" moderator is going to come in here and yell at us for being off-topic.

 

[Ginamarie]

I'll be sitting in the Jambo House lobby by myself it seems. I LOVE AKVs! The Kidani pool is one of my happiest places.
AND.. I own both AKV and RIV- I love them both. (who am I kidding, I have loved all the resorts we've stayed at and fully anticipate falling in love with Aulani in a couple of months as well).

DVC owners are stingy with their points. July at Aulani is priced like Christmas. I was also able to get Vero Beach the week of Easter.

This is perfectly on topic.

Disney isn't ROFRing the Fancy resorts right now because they're actively selling.

Disney isn't ROFRing the themed monorail resort resort because they're opening a phase 2 of that resort in 2024.

I have a good feeling about this one but it's right on the edge.

It sounds like Disney is discriminating against some people based on stereotype. They are preventing certain people from buying, and giving good deals to others.

I'm a Monorail/Chill/Theme. This definitely fits me because I really have no interest in the Fancy resorts (I always feel underdressed when I go there) or EPCOT resorts (too busy for me), and I've considered all the others when looking at contracts.
