Is Poly tower going to sell out by the time this thing opens?

Also, I wonder if this will have a dedicated boat route to the MK? Do they even have enough boats to do that? Taking a boat from WL to MK is brutal as it is having to stop at FW.

No chance. Riviera is 80%-ish sold and Poly Tower is only around 35%.

I believe I read that they have additional watercraft either ordered or purchased for this resort, but others know far more about that.

It looks like they are building a dedicated boat dock - unless that is for a Marina or something else?

They currently run direct boats from MK to both WL and Fort Wilderness. In the afternoon / evening they also operate boats that connect Contemporary, WL and the Fort.

If you've seen the large boats (for ECVs, etc). running the FW and WL routes, Disney is adding at least one new one of those and I believe that should be in this summer.

What we haven't heard yet is where this new LL route will dock at MK. I think it makes the most sense to put the LL launch where the FW launch is currently located (deluxe resorts getting better spots) and bumping FW to near the Poly/GF launch.

If I’m not mistaken, I believe a large part of the justification for the new cruiser a few years ago was the original start of the new lodge and after the pause transport has been enjoying a slightly plussed fleet until the hotel actually opens.

I’m don't remember where I read that, and it may be nonsense, but that’s the story I remember.
