A friend of mine took advantage of that and told me that that's what she thought it was worth. Also said it appeared cheaply constructed and had ''industrial looking exterior corridors''. I had noticed the same things on a few visits over there. I wish Disney would start focusing on its parks and animation units, instead of focusing on being the world's leading timeshare company ... because that appears to be their goal. Enough is enough already.

Instead of copying a beautiful, quality resort like Old Key West (or the Boardwalk or Vero), Disney opted to slap some upstate NY theming on what's basically an I-Drive timeshare. Sad to lose the Disney Institute for that. And it does appear people are noticing. You can get rooms there, at a discount, all the time.

I'd like to suggest that it's not the fact that the corridors are outside that means the resort has to look cheap. Old Key West has outside corridors, and yet people still are holding them up as the proper way to build. True, the Old Key West design doesn't make it look like corridors in the commn sense, but if you think about it, they are.
