That’s not exactly what happened. They didn’t exactly reject that design. They just only built part of the original proposal. It was more a budget cut than it was a rejection.

So then to build a contemporary Miami Beach style resort tower makes sense at the Polynesian? Because they didn't build it in 1970?
All good homie. I couldn’t see it either but thought I saw it somewhere.
This building looks about as uninspired as expected. Don’t really have much else to say.

I can’t wait to hear more about the “new recreation and dining options.” The Poly is always a crowded cluster as it is, between guests and visitors who are just there to eat and drink. I have a feeling they’re going to add a quiet pool and a snack bar to the new tower, if even that, and that’s not gonna cut it.

The DVC buildings at GF and Contep complemented the original resorts (I know BLT was controversal at the time). This just looks like a HIlton. Just like what they were planning for next to WL. Why can't Bob shell out for an immersive hotel design?

That’s not what I said. It’s not the direction I personally would go with the resort. But it is the direction the resorts original designers initially were heading.

So how many DVC does this make on property?
Considering it's on the Poly corner closest to the original DVC Grand Floridian building, much of the building will be closer to that hall building than the GCH. Remember that GCH itself is visually tall with whatever you'd call the architectural feature on the roof. So visually across it'll be a big GF building, about same height Poly building, then a smaller but still tall GCH, then smaller older longhouse from there.

Put up a parking lot
With apink (big) hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot

That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise
Put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree museum
Then they charged the people
Adollar and a half hundreds of dollars just to see 'em...

Im not against the design, its nice, just against where its going. This is reflections revamped.
and putting a city looking office center on that beautiful lagoon just really irks me.

This will be just yards from the Wedding Pavilion. Have to wonder if any of the design/amenities considered for this were ment to complement the wants/needs of those getting married nearby.
