Makes sense. Consolidate the resorts.
Pick two
Pop Century/All Star Movies/All Star Sports/All Star Music/AOA
Pick one of each
Beach/Yacht
Port Orleans/Riverside
Riviera/CBR
OKW/Saratoga
I think all the Monorail Resorts will open
Just my guess
I think you’re mostly right. Based on the DVC announcement, we know they’re going to open the three DVC standalone resorts (SSR, OKW, Riviera). Here are my guesses:
Pop (largest value)
Beach (already will be partially operating because of DVC so why not open the rest)
BW (already will be partially operating because of DVC so why not open the rest)
AKL (assuming they open AKV-Jambo. If not, AKL stays closed probably)
GF (already will be partially operating because of DVC so why not open the rest)
CR (already will be partially operating because of DVC so why not open the rest)
Polynesian (already will be partially operating because of DVC so why not open the rest)
WL (already will be partially operating because of DVC so why not open the rest)
CBR (if Skyliner operates. If not, POR may open instead because of its large size)
I think they might also open AoA (especially if they use the Skyliner), but I’m not sure. I think the hotels will be top-heavy initially not only because they want the most money possible but also because they can really only consolidate up, not down. If they find there’s a night where there are a few too many reservations for CBR for example, they can’t downgrade people to Pop but most would be thrilled if they were upgraded to a Deluxe).
That said, I think it’s unlikely YC and POFQ reopen initially. Same for CSR and the All-Stars.
Wait...didn't it say the pools at DVC resorts WOULD be open?
They said they’d have a pool open at each resort, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll be the feature pool, especially if they have a sizable Villas pool like BC (as
@yulilin3 said). Could be a similar situation with BLT, BW, and other resorts that have a “Villa” pool. If it’s just BCV open, I’d imagine it may not make much financial sense to operate and staff Storm-Along Bay, but I don’t know. We’ll see. All they’ve promised is a pool; they haven’t said which ones.
