Yea, I mean, those people were just in denial, or maybe, hoping Disney wouldn't try to do this.
For those with any real perspective, we could already see the marketing rolling out that this is a "Separate" resort, which in some way it is, in the way Bay Lake Tower is separate from The Contemporary, BUT, it wont really be separate. Many guests from CBR will be on the grounds and using what amenities they have access to (I am guessing QS and TS restaurants and gondola station, the pool will likely be locked / braceleted in some way, the Lounge / outdoor area at the top such that it is may function like bay lake) So I can see why some people will argue this isn't really a deluxe, but of course disney if going to market it and sell it as a deluxe, and I am betting the resort itself will be gorgeous with deluxe level fixings, just a bit weird it will have the "rabble" running around.
***Please note, as a regular guest and lover of moderate resorts, the reference to "rabble" is purely in jest ...
Yes - it's hard to tell how separate they are going to keep it. While it is obviously in close proximity, they could easily make it fairly separate. (How many people at Pop Century venture over to AoA for food, and vice versa?) I am sure the pool will be off-limits to CBR guests - but CBR has a pretty great pool as it is - certainly the best of the mods. DVC/Deluxe has a tendency to be thin on QS dining options, so I wouldn't be surprised if what's there is nothing special. As far as TS we are certainly getting a "Top of the Riv" location, but other than that I doubt we get more than a Pool area eatery.
