Contemporary Interest Poll

[tjkraz]

What is your own personal interest in a DVC resort at the Contemporary?

Assumptions:
* Same 2054 ending date as SSR--assume about 45-46 years of ownership (roughly 2008 to 2054.)
* Point schedules probably a bit higher than current at BWV/BCV/VWL.
* No "Standard View" component.
* DVC rooms would be in one of the Garden Wings, NOT the tower.
* Resort is in the neighborhood of 200-300 DVC rooms (between BCV and BWV sized.)

My interest would be mild to none. Contemporary is my least favorite resort, and MK is my least favorite park.

Personally, I have very little to no interest at all in it.

I suppose around 2038, if I wanted to try something different, we could give it a shot, but it's highly doubtful.

If it weren't for the rehab, my interest would be nil. However, after seeing the pics of the rehabed model I will re-think this....

....Okay, re-thinking done. I might opt to stay there at some point (which I wouldn't have done before rehab), but I doubt I would buy points.

i WOULD stay there because because of the monorail convenience and the nostalgic factor (our family stayed there every trip we took in the 80s).

 

[athenna]

I have no interest in the CR whatsoever.

LOL, Maistre. Thought I was the only one. If it weren't for those pictures, I would have voted no interest at all. Instead, I voted might stay occasionally. Would not buy.

Best wishes -

Like the poll, but the audience here is pretty set already. Its kind of more of an "add on" question on this forum IMO. More interested in what someone actively looking to buy DVC (or add on) would say, esp compared to SSR being currently offered. I voted if price is right but then again I may add on BWV before VCR if it came down to it.

Always wanted to try out the CR. It took about 7 yrs of trying to convince my family but finally did. We stayed there for two nights last summer. Everyone loved it!!! Even got used to the room decor. Since we were there the same time as H. Charlie, there were a lot of things we couldn't do...swim, eat at CM's when we were supposed to, back and forth to MK, boat to FW/WL. But we will be staying there again, I'm sure. If one wing became DVC, we would be right there, on the phone, at the 7 month mark!!

I'd have some interest in staying at a Contemporary DVC occasionally, but not in owning there. The more DVCs the merrier, IMO, so even though I wouldn't buy points there, it would be an interesting addition to the family.

 

[mikesmom]

I don't think I'd be interested, but I haven't seen the pictures. If it got Maistre Gracey's attention, I might better check it out! Where do I find them?

One of my happiest moments was seeing the CR. Remembered Disney 'revealing' the plans for it, it just looked too cool for school! Yes, I would stay there but buying more pts? perhaps VWL first..

What pictures? I missed a thread. Do you have the link?

 

[DVCconvert]

I'd never give up or not use my BWV points, nor would I stop staying at OKW (which I don't own, but love too).

I would however be willing to pay a hefty premium to own and be able to stay at the CR around Halloween & Chirstmas!

I consider myself to be very interested in a possible offering!

 

[WDWLVR]

I could see staying there once in a while. We stayed in a tower room in December of '03 and it was wonderful to be to walk back to the room after MVMCP. We won't be buying any points there however because we have all the points we need right now.

Here you go! There are pics of the current rooms, and the model after the rehab. Scroll toward the top for the rehab.

Like other DVC resorts....I'd try it once if it were available but I'll stay at SSR!

we had our second stay there over a weekend a couple of weeks ago. Both times we've stayed there we had a magic kingdom view. I like the polly a lot, I love the wilderness lodge, but it is hard to beat the cont. view.

And you know, it IS the tomorrowland hotel, the only one you can see from tomorrowland, every bit as much as the polly is the adventureland hotel or the wilderness's are for staying in frontierland. There is something just cool about that. There is something really cool about the monorail going right through the hotel. The shops are great, the restaurants are good, it couldn't be any more convenient. It is as disney world as you can get, with all that nostalgia and memory of it being there always.

I'm not really that interested in staying in the wings though. A lake view might be nice, but they are sort of out there. I wouldn't mind if we got a lake view from the tower really, but the magic kingdom view is hard to beat for fireworks, etc. Wow, the fireworks are cool to watch from the balcony. Beats the daylights out of illuminations from bcv.

Finally someone who understands me!! Emailing this to DW and MIL who love to bash CR...

I would buy it for the proximity to the MK. And I am planning to purchase another 150 point contract in a couple of years so that I can have two 150 contracts, one for my son to inherit and one for my daughter, I think the extra years would be good for my younger daughter. So, I won't have that far to go when i visit with my grandchildren some day, (I hope). Count me in!!
