Time-shares Becoming Bigger Part Of Disney’s Lodging Portfolio
Time-share suites are becoming a larger part of Walt Disney World‘s lodging portfolio.
The resort’s number of hotel rooms has shrunk as its Polynesian Village Resort converts rooms in three of its buildings into 360 new time-share villas. It’s the resort’s largest-ever conversion of hotel rooms into units for its growing Disney Vacation Club.
Disney said in a statement it will continue to offer a wide variety of both hotel and vacation-club accommodations “to meet guest and market demand for expanded options.”
Disney’s move can help it get more use out of its rooms while growing its time-share business more quickly and inexpensively than building from scratch. It also gives Disney flexibility, since units that aren’t being used for time-share can still be rented out as typical hotel accommodations.
