My guess is that the 200 keys may break down more like VGC x 4:

8 GVs, 96 2 BR lockoffs, 96 2 BR dedicated... (adjusted for 200 total since VGC is actually 2/23/23)

That's a little high since a lockoff 2B counts as two "keys." VGC actually has about 80 "keys" given the manner in which Disney counts them.

Probably not worth splitting hairs over, though since even Disney may not have settled on an exact breakdown. Even the 200 figure is likely an estimate. I just threw out some numbers for illustration purposes.

From a business perspective, it makes sense to have as many rooms as possible.

The original concept of 50 units didn't make sense from a profitability standpoint.

Shareholders expect them to maximize profits for both Polt and GF resort locations.

After Poly and GF locations, they will either need to add to moderates or build a DVC only (like OKW or SSR).

You're right Tim, my bad!

ftw ???????

ftw ???????

Mind out of Gutter Viking! While there were nastier meanings in previous years, FTW today commonly stands for "For the Win". It is an expression of enthusiasm. "FTW" is the same as saying "this is the best" or "this item will make a big difference, I recommend using it".

For the Win. lol! sounds like they are really planning this out and want to make the most bang for their buck! I was also thinking that this would DEFINITELY attract all of those people that cannot afford the GF but can affor to get DVC... people will be going crazy over this!

Actually Mar, my mind was way above gutter level. Never saw the "FTW" used before, in any context, gutteral or otherwise.
