All true, however the entry level rooms (BV) represent something like 22% of the rooms at the resort. This is near opposite the entry level rooms at a hotel. They count on upsells for the rooms, specialty dinners, etc here. We haven’t been introduced to a host the last two trips. Probably because we book our dinners in advance.

Just boarding my flight now on my way here. Have a new strategy for an upgrade and will see how it works out. Just have a hard time paying for what others haven’t had to. There are many inconsistencies in both that and what others do wind up paying for upgrades as well. Regardless we will enjoy our time.
