I mean, that looks nice for a resort on an actual tropical beach rather than a man-made lake you can't swim in!

But is more DVC actually needed at Polynesian? I guess so? Do hotels do better as DVC rather than cash rooms?

Need depends....how many shares do you own? More DVC only serves one purpose.

Looks nice. I bet the studios will be smaller than the existing DVC studios, however. I care more to learn about pools and dining. Both will be necessary.

I can't tell if you are asking me, but just in case, none.

Was sarcasm but yes I was! I don't think anyone can sit here and say the resort as a whole. (Meaning all of WDW) needs more dvc.

Maybe they want the parks filled with only dvc members someday? Idk

You can sell a room for three nights to a family of four once, or you can sell a guaranteed three night stay each year for the next nearly 50 years plus dues and assessments.

You be the judge as to which one Disney prefers.

Looks like a new pool and the top probably a restaurant. Or an awesome penthouse I'll never afford.

DVC demand is very high.

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

Define "sell"

Seems the answer is DVC is better in the long run.

I just didn't know, I don't know all that much about DVC. I thought it wasn't selling lately but probably misunderstood what I was reading.

2024 seems ambitious for Disney!

I see the water but will it be an elaborate pool like BLT or a quiet pool? They need the former with like two hot tubs.

Wow. That's a Poly eye-sore. They're going to put that, next to this?

Where would it in theory be built? Remove other buildings or expand the resort?

Sorry if my original post came across as snarky. It was not intended that way.

But yes, DVC is absolutely a profitable venture for them. Not only do they guarantee dues/assessments to maintain their own facilities that would otherwise be the liability of the company (see Port Orleans, for example), but they also somewhat guarantee repeat visitation over the length of the membership, effectively allowing guests to purchase loyalty to the company. Sure, you can use the points in a timeshare exchange, but more often than not, folks are coming to WDW or DLR to spend more money on admission, food and merchandise.

uh-ohhh Here we go with another Marriott-style common hotel building in a themed resort... Boo!

The Luau Cove area.

I actually think it’s very likely that it will look nice in high resolution. It lacks any depth or texture in this 600 pixel rendering.
