News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

[matt9112]

DVC demand is very high.

And the higher rooms will have spectacular views of whatever fireworks are showing in 2024.

Park demand is very high....I don't see them expanding that capacity... zing

I guess with the current points rates robbing people is a far better ROI.
Most people on this very board that own dvc have said something along the lines of "I would not buy dvc at current prices" dvc is legitimately disneys version of a universitys foreign student body. A gold mine of wealth that snowballs on itself endlessly.

33% of our guests love the concept art

In two weeks

50% of all guests absolutely love our concept

Actually - seriously- it’s a great addition

How bizarre.

This has been a long time coming

I think the most important question is; will this bring 1 bedrooms to Poly?

I wonder if they’ll have to move the monorail.

The current monorail platform that they just completely rebuilt will be in the center of their hotel and DVC universe. I have zero inside information here, but I would bet good money that there is nothing happening on the monorail front. The new tower is closer to the GF-MK walking bridge, which seems closer than it actually is.

If ruining the aesthetic of the resort with a bland building that was literally the concept art for a different "Nature" hotel is a great addition, then you're correct.

No monorail stop here.

Top floor restaurant?

The forest hotel is now the (rain) forest hotel.

Meant more the concept art and design of the expansion. If this was between contemporary and Poly, I'd understand. Bridges the gap between modern and traditional. But the design and placement are very bizzare.

Welcome to the Polynesian Resort! Enjoy your stay in our new modern Miami Beach building! Miami has palm trees just like Polynesia, so it's practically the same right??

I more meant the track itself looks very in the way of building a big hotel.

I think this really should have replaced the South Garden Wing at Contemporary. This look at the Contemporary across from Wilderness Lodge would’ve made more sense.

I'd have preferred they just reworked the show (while keeping the fire dancer of course), but this seems like a much better addition than reflections. I just hope they don't build another quite pool because the Lava pool is nuts as it is.

 

[CastAStone]

New condo association or an expansion of PVB?

I was told it’s an expansion. The press release certainly implies that.

White card owners rise up!

Suck it, Riviera!

Oh, gotcha. It looks like they are almost building this on top of the water. Basically it's exactly where the current SOA area is, with that tiny beach on the side.

Oh, there will be a tower there, too, but it’ll need a different look now. Back to white concrete, I guess.
