I voted that I would definitely buy in. If the restrictions were removed, I would more quickly give in to what my heart wants. But I would buy a GW as a measure of protection against Disney. So clearly the bad taste would still be in my mouth, restrictions notwithstanding.
It was a double punch for me (the restrictions and the retracted
point charts), and it’s hard to say which was the one that put me on my heels. Like all of you who bought, I like what I see. I just don’t like that I was cold clocked by the guy hocking me the goods just two minutes earlier. But I’m Disney weak.
For those who bought, you’re in a unique position to potentially affect some real change. If every one of you rescinded your buy and told your guide that as much as you love the resort, the restrictions and recent point reallocations have introduced far too much uncertainty, that message would quickly work its way up the chain.
But back to reality, I have zero expectation Disney will reverse course on this one. This is more an issue of bad policy than it is of legally questionable decision making. Plus, it would take a large scale stand against the policies by a lot of principled owners. And I’m one owner who’s not even principled enough to toss that RR brochure into the recycling bin.
