Just curious if folks think the dvc rental pool has declined, or if the moderate beds are limited due to construction at Coranado/CBR. I suppose more people could be partially responsible, and maybe a greater number of folks are staying on property.
I guess I'm just surprised at the limited availability. I figured with park construction, demand might be lessened. Flights are as cheap as I've ever encountered.
So I'm just one data point, just wondering if others have encountered the same?
I can't comment on hotel rooms, but I can on DVC. In the 3.5 years I've owned DVC, I have noticed it has become MUCH tighter getting deluxe studios, particularly that the studios get booked up right at the 7-month mark. In the meantime, 1-bedrooms are much easier to get than they used to be, and they were already pretty easy. I think there are two causes for this. One - DVC has priced itself so that less and less of a percentage of owners can afford the 1-bedroom or larger villas, so the demand for studios is much higher. Two - for a similar reason, renting of DVC points has become more popular, and the demand has also caused an increase in the deluxe studio popularity.
Anyways, post-Presidents week is still pretty "slow" but really nowadays everything is pretty booked up by about 4-5 months in advance. The result is that you really have to book your DVC rooms 6-7 months in advance mark most of the year, and probably earlier than 7 months for fall dates.
