If memory serves, this isn't an accurate representation of what happened. OKW owners were asked several times, via survey, if they wanted a slide added to the pool. The majority always voted "no".
There was no great push by members to get the slide added. It was Disney that wanted a slide at each deluxe resort, so they paid the construction costs themselves. The ongoing maintenance costs and lifeguard salaries were then forced upon OKW owners.
ok, so edit my comment to say, instead:
yes, but those who bought OKW bought knowing that it had no pool slide...
but when pool slides became the "norm", even those who didn't ask for it paid more, because it was best for the overall well-being of the resort.
ETA: Just curious, did disney release the results of their survey, or are we going by the "overwhelming majority" of owners represented here on the DIS?
