They’re supposedly making it fancier, too. It has room service when the Poly doesn’t! How exclusive!

News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
Unless you're slumming it in the Sugar Loaf Club Building. So when you get the munchies in your even more overpriced room, you now have to hike it to the main building for your Club Level fix.
I'm sure they have guest surveys that say it's more magical to not offer room service or some nonsense.

5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
They also went back and proactively put mini fridges back in all the GF rooms and VGF studios instead of those stupid beverage coolers. The other resorts are only getting the mini fridges back as the beverage coolers fail (other than new builds and renos)
Super, duper fancy.

Good. Those beverage coolers are terrible. Especially in a DVC room where members are encouraged to bring their own food.
I'll have you know that that is authentic Tiki quilting!!

The color in that video was off. I don't know if it was just the lighting or a bad attempt at color grading, but it made everything appear more grey.

That makes my eyes hurt...and it's in black and white. I can't imagine what the color photo looks like!

Among DVC rooms is it only the VGF Resort Studios that have beverage coolers? That was what I thought at least. Glad to hear they’re ditching them. They’re clearly a downgrade.

I will say I am so glad they moved away from wall to wall carpet. There should be NO wall to wall carpet in any WDW resort.
Its not a matter if it will mildew its a matter of when it will mildew.

No.
VGF, Poly Tower, BWV, and VDH all are guaranteed to have mini fridges. Anything else will have a mix of beverage coolers and mini fridges.
For many years Disney only did Mini Fridges, then they switched to only beverage coolers, so as mini fridges needed to be replaced in individual rooms (or resorts were refurbished), beverage coolers went in. Now they’ve switched back to mini fridges again.
Which for a resort like BLT or VGC that hasn’t been renovated in nearly a decade, when they were still using mini fridges the first time, means it’s a total crap shoot what you’ll get, since so many of them have failed in the last several years and been replaced with beverage coolers.
The really interesting mini fridges they’re putting into some rooms now that actually have a totally distinct freezer compartment, which makes the fridge area smaller, but will be awesome for someone like me who wants to keep their insulin in the fridge without worrying it might accidentally freeze.

Thanks. On the room reservation pages, the Resort Studios are the only studios that list beverage coolers. They should really correct that. I don’t think we’ve ever had a beverage cooler in a DVC room so I guess we just got lucky. Or maybe I just forgot lol
The fridges are so much better than the coolers. I like the separate freezer too so I’m glad if they’re going that direction.

We had wall to wall carpeting in my kids room and our bed room -when the kids moved out I ripped out the carpet. OMG the sand the stains was disgusting put all hard wood floors in --then proceeded to rip out the master bed room carpet same thing. Will never have wall to wall carpet again not matter how much you vacuum or clean it still is nasty. Glad to see Disney is getting rid of it

They should, they tossed all of those in I think February of this year. There were posts on the Disboards with pictures of dozens of boxes mini-fridges stacked outside the entrance being wheeled in 2 at a time.

When me and my wife bought our house a year and a half ago, the living room and 2 of the 3 bedrooms had this old, disgusting carpet in them that we promptly tore up. The smell was…..something

Which is so strange because it’s not the first time they’ve done this. When they redid the rooms at the rest of the Poly, they did the same thing. The promo images they put out were much more muted and gray than what the actual rooms looked like. Especially when it came to the wood tones, Disney’s promo images sucked all the color out of them.

Whoah, I'm into color but the top one is absolutely perfect. To me the bottom one looks like an animated concept version.

Honestly probably the second photo is edited to increase the saturation and the first is edited to decrease it, and reality is somewhere in between. But to me, the first one is way too dull and gray
