Probably to keep the rain out. They may be installing stuff in those rooms that might be damaged by rain, like electrical.

No DVC towers to date are in proportion to the resorts they use as hosts. The Contemporary DVC tower should be 3-4 stories shorter than what was built but $ drives these decisions. Also the Eisner era Michael Graves convention center out front has not aged well in my opinion.

Agreed the convention center at the contemporary hotel MUST go

Screams 90s and “dead” space

Once it starts getting themed then there will probably more talk

What is there to say at this point. They are in the process of building it and I for one am looking forward to it.

Is there any way to walk from GF to Poly?

Yes. There is a temporary pathway behind the construction until the new permanent pathway is completed.

Theming of this building will equate to the neighbor's window clings at Christmas.

If they had at least copied the roof lines from the other existing buildings or from Aulani it might have felt like it fit in better...It is almost as if they are just trying to get as far away from the resort theme as they can...Generic "modern" instead of richly detailed Polynesian Exotic. It is the theme details that allow them to charge the inflated rates they routinely charge...Why don't they understand this basic fact. If we wanted just a modern simple hotel we would stay at any number of less expensive hotels in the area and not opt for the premium Disney resort.

We can cut and paste this question into every thread in this forum!

I want to know how much it will be. Will it be close to the cost of the grand Floridian, or closer to the cost of the new Disneyland villas?

No one outside Disney knows.. we won't know until they announce it and probably won't know if it is a new property or rolled into the existing villas assoc until then.

Depends, how much are you willing to pay?

It would likely be the same as GF and Riviera, but there's not a huge difference between that and the DL property anyway. I think they sold that at a higher premium just because it would be crazy not to. However those buyers are also getting the surprise of having to pay the transient tax outside of dues, so it's a sneaky extra.

 

[Bocabear]

I feel quite sure it will be more than either of those... It is a smaller property, and the popularity of the Polynesian always makes for higher prices.

i mean, i guess a poly tower idea ain't new, just really hope there might be some nice decor and theme additions we haven't seen to at least try to blend into the poly's general aesthetic

Looks like a really expensive Holiday Inn Express
