You’d think they’d want to continue that because I know I would be more willing to stay in deluxe if I was offered that. Instead we go for the value or moderateI just miss the 40% off deluxe resorts discounts.
Maybe they are selling out without such discount?You’d think they’d want to continue that because I know I would be more willing to stay in deluxe if I was offered that. Instead we go for the value or moderate

I guess you’re right. If we stay in a deluxe resort we buy from undercover tourist instead of Disney.Seems to indicate they don't need the discount to fill the rooms.
I prefer lots of theming in the rooms. The room de-theming refurbs that leave Disney rooms looking like Holiday Inn rooms, make me want to stay offsite more often. Same room at a much lower price.
I find it amazing how many people are willing to be hostile (albeit lightly) towards the OP because they simply disagree... It's a valid observation - not simply a "trip down memory lane."
My family has vacationed at Disney for years and bought into DVC in the late 90s. It's very obvious that Disney is toning down on theming, as well as skinching on amenities, simply to save a few dollars. For example: DVC rooms now will no longer have whirlpool tubs or ceiling fans, and the square footage is slowly dwindling for the upcoming resorts, yet the prices are ever increasing. Also, the OP's observations are completely correct - the quality and Disney theming is not the same as it has been in past years, and while many may feel as though it is adequate, that does not eliminate the fact that they are indeed removing elements in an effort to cut corners and cost.
I agree! I thought the OP's arguments were well thought out and supplied with fair reasoning. We can all agree to disagree, but the OP's feelings are certainly valid.I find it amazing how many people are willing to be hostile (albeit lightly) towards the OP because they simply disagree...

The offsite hotel room is 1/3 the price and has better amenities that's why.People don't like the de-themeing...so they go stay in a standard hotel room offsite which looks exactly the same as all the others?? Don't see the logic in that?
Agreed. I'm especially loving the looks of Yacht Club (from pictures), can't wait to stay there again!
We are each entitled to an opinion.
We own DVC Aand have for years. Eliminating whirlpool tubs and ceiling fans is not “skinching on amenities “ in my opinion. In is way more sanitary. I disagree that “they are removing elements to cut corners and cost”. I love the new themeing even though I thought I wouldn’t.
You are very strong in your statements and indeed state opinion as fact. I don’t see it your way and that is fine.
