PHOTOS - Take a complete tour through a completed Bora Bora Bungalow at Disney's Polynesian Village

Just sharks and turtles, I bet. Both of which are awesome.

I don't want some alligator to decide to sun itself on the deck.

What exactly classifies a pool as a "plunge" pool?

Something designed forthe sole purpose of getting into to "cool off" while sun bathing. Given the small size, after a few week in the FL summer sun it will be about as "refreshing" as sitting in a large pool of hot chicken broth - or something else...

But then it would be like a combo of the Poly and AKL...

Or maybe the newest entrée at the Poly, cooked alligator caught on property, with a Lapu Lapu

I meant sharks and turtles in Bora Bora.

If there were sharks in the water in the Seven Seas Lagoon, we would have other concerns.

Yes, more new entrees.

I'm staying in one for 2 nights in September and I am very excited about it. I'll be sure to take even more pictures for you guys.

So are the housekeepers expected to maintain the plunge pools? With larger pools on property they usually have a routine of testing every so many hours and balancing out the levels. I assume with these being so small they'll drain them and refill every day instead. Even then, with children (and certain adults) the water might need a change out more frequently.

each pool has a chloronator and filtering mechanism, on the wet wall at the front of the bungalow... no need to purge daily, just add chlorine from out front

I guess I'm an oddball, but this doesn't do much for me. I have never been a Poly fan so maybe this style just doesn't speak to me.

I think that these bungalows are mostly going to be rented, for one night only. Who, but the very wealthy can afford these, for a week? I wish I had the opportunity, for just one night, but the budget won't allow it. Itwould be a nice bucket list dream....

Save that bucket-list item for the real over-the-water bungalows in Bora-Bora / French Polynesia.
Remember you are in Disney for the entertainment, not the over-priced rooms.

Can we PLEASE stop it with the Bora Bora comparisons? Yes the price is outrageous. But the Bora Bora logic is stupid.

You can stay at the actual Hotel Del Coronado for WAY less than the Grand Floridian.

You can stay in a nice beach resort in Hawaii for much less than the normal Poly rack rates.

Want to experience the actual New Orleans French Quarter? Pretty much the same price as POFQ.

There are real-life castles in Germany far more breath-taking than Cinderella that you can ACTUALLY go inside.. and you don't have to pay $100 to do it.

Want to go camping where you can actually fish and hike and... camp? You can do it for next to nothing instead of paying $100/night at Disney.

Want to feel like you are in Key West?? You get the picture...

You are so right..

I have to wonder who pays $2100 a night and cooks for themselves, or do you get a V&A chef thrown in ?

They sleep 8, so you could split a bungalow between a group that would normally have paid say $600 per night for 3 rooms, total of $1800. So not much of a stretch to get to $2000 ish. I can see groups like that wanting to use the kitchen.

That gives me a completely different perspective, they look much more affordable then, I was thinking deluxe rather than family/friends .

I so love that idea! Brilliant.

That's what I've been thinking and have been surprised (or should I not be surprised of that here really!) that no-one has said that till now!

I don't think alligators can get up there unless they walk down the walkways. And from what I understand, the Disney alligators' wrist bands will not open the gate and allow them into that area. They are, however, permitted access into Trader Sam's. Watch where you step
