News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

[Ayla]

Let’s be real, none of us commenting here can afford to be a deluxe poly guest lol

You'd be 100% incorrect.

*clears throat*

Riff-raff.

 

[FiestaFunKid]

I've stayed in various Disney hotels 20+ times and never used or even looked for a gym. I think I may recall seeing one in the 'hidden' Contemporary floor where the hair salon used to be.

I do my best to work out in real life, but with the incredible amount of walking, constraints on time, fun to be had, etc - who are these raving lunatics who cant skip the gym for a few days?

Although maybe the same people who prefer non-discript modern hotels on their Disney trip.

 

[Casper Gutman]

I presume no baggage handling so, in practice, most guests need to check in at GCH?

I do love BLT’s set-up in this regard. No need to venture in the A frame with the look-e-loos.

Oh, look! Another dude who came over from MK searching the ground floor for Chef Mickey’s!

You offer real insight into the minds of many DVC members.

That's due to Army MWR contracting out that transportation, so they have to restrict it to ID card holders/guests at the MWR-run hotel.

Whomp whomp, maybe the riff raff should allow the non-riff raff to enter their resort and then maybe Disney will switch it up

 

[Disneylover69]

Poly guests get leied at check-in.

Then proceed to wear them EVERYWHERE they go so that why everyone knows they staying at the poly lol

Today I learned disney isn’t real life

Am I part of the riff raff 🫨

 

[Disneylover69]

Who's angry? It's just a shame that short-sighted accountants are making decisions forcing people to drive short distances. Conceivably, guests from MK resorts could have used the pedestrian overpass to walk to their scheduled golf sessions.

why should disney never in that when it will just make some poly guests want to use it just to be turned away

Weird leap to “raving lunatic,” but ok - FWIW I hate the look of these tower monstrosities but would be happy to do some strength training in that fitness room.

haha some people just gotta put others down to feel better about themselves

So, how well are these selling now that it is open

Actually not the best and I think that’s for very structural DVC related reasons. The pricing is gouging, the points chart sucks and new buyers respond to pricing. Riviera actually outsold its first month this October, but to be fair that was a half month of posted new member sales versus wide open RIV.


RIV (on sale 27th of the prior month)
59k* / 129k / 114k

VGF2 (on sale the 3rd of the month/March 31 new members)
115k / 175k / 100k

VDH (on sale the 2nd of the month/30th new members)
145k / 162k / 94k

PIT (on sale 1st of the month/29th new members)
73k / 89k / December sales pending

*Note 169k of copper creek was also sold in the opening month of RIV, again showing the power of pricing.


Now longer term trends will probably tell a different story. Disneyland and Grand Floridian sort of fall down a cliff and Riviera actually was outpacing the lot through the start of the pandemic. I’d expect Poly will medium term do better than Disneyland hotel, but worse than Grand Floridian. I’d actually expect Riviera will be outselling Poly again in a couple months.

Hey! I was exaggerating to make a point on how gym time seems like a weird priority on a Disney trip....but I hope you feel so much better about yourself now that you put me down!

I do actually feel better about myself now that you mention it but wanna know what really makes me feel better? Knowing the riff raff from SoG can’t easily walk over to poly anymore /s/

*clears throat*

Riff-raff.

I literally just sobered up today after all that the other day! UGH. Sigh. (takes another shot)

 

[cranbiz]

How ever will they keep the SoG riff raff from sneaking in then?

By removing the walkway and not building a bridge for them.

Then tell the military people that it’s for their safety

 

[Chef idea Mickey`=]

I think the current group of bloggers, vloggers, and media assets would have their minds implode if they stepped into a new resort of the quality and attention to detail of Wilderness Lodge.

Haha Love This!
