Way to confuse the rookies!

Dang.only if you make them cry...
We just receizved notification that prices are being set for the Bungalows at The Poly. The lowest seasonal price is around $2100/night, compared to as high as $2900/night during Christmas and the other high seasons.
Points are supposedly going to start during pre-sale at $160/point up until 09Feb2015.
Seems as though WDW is going for an entirely new type of clientele for these units. Definitely will not be staying in these any time soon.
EDIT: This was first seen on @tikiman's Facebook page for the resort.
That makes me want to vomit! If I had unlimited funds there is no way I would shell out that kind of money for 1 nights stay there. Thats shameful. Maybe my financial priorities are out of whack, IDK.We just received notification that prices are being set for the Bungalows at The Poly.

Nah, you're just a bit judgey.That makes me want to vomit! If I had unlimited funds there is no way I would shell out that kind of money for 1 nights stay there. Thats shameful. Maybe my financial priorities are out of whack, IDK.
I find chewing on some fresh ginger root helps with that.That makes me want to vomit!
Everyone? Maybe I missed something. Am I supposed to go look at the MK from the Poly beach? Been to WDW countless times and have never had the urge to go stand on the Poly beach and gaze upon the MK. Was this a special ticketed event?
Ah. I've actually enjoyed the water pageant from the WL beach area.No tickets needed, one of the few free things in Disney. Heading to the Poly, getting a cocktail and sitting on the beach watching the water pageant has been one of the best things to do in WDW for decades - no charge to do it either. If you've never done it, you've missed out.
That view has now been severely restricted by the Pizza-Huts.
We can all be jealous and cry and whine and say how stupid Disney is for setting such outrageous point and cash values......but guess what? They're going to get sold and rented by someone.
And then we call THEM stupid and mommy bloggers and pixie dusters...
That's how that works right?
I only can think of the fireworks being the main draw...No, but is a view of MK worth thousands of dollars? How long are you going to spend looking at it? You don't even see much apart from the MyMagic turnstiles, the train station and the top of the castle.
just by using your primary points.. it will instantly discard the pizza huts for any sane person.Roll eyes all you want. My point is most people use the following thought process when choosing vacationing at Disney:
They don't use the following process:
- I'm going to Disney.
- How much do I want to spend.
- Where do I want to stay and how long.
The primary purpose for most people for going to Disney is what entertainment experience Disney provides. Lodging generally is a secondary part of the decision process so that if someone with the means to afford these bungalows wants to stay in them, they will.
- I want to stay in a bungalow over swamp water.
- Oh Disney has one.
- It's too expensive.
you know what else rich people do?This comment shows that you simply hold the wealthy in contempt. Most wealthy people are not Hollywood pop culture wanna be TMZ fodder. Most blend in with the rest of the crowd.
THIS!!!!!!!!I think too many people believe that the mega rich just hap hazardly throw their money around. Most wealthy people are the cheapest you will meet and they will be the first to tell you that they didnt get wealthy by spending. Thats not to say they wouldnt spend the money on these bungalows for the kids sake, but their also not going to just plop the money down without consideration. I know several clients I have for work who live in $500K-$1M homes and they still use services like Groupon and PriceLine. Getting a rich person to part with their money can more difficult than you think. Ill never forget what one man told me. He said, "the wealthier you get, the more greedy you get"
ill take these gorgeous views anytime than MK's.No, because Le Meridien Bora Bora is a true luxury resort in a true exotic location. The Poly Bungalows are pretend luxury accommodations in a pretend exotic location.
This is a "world" where the counterfeit costs more than the original. $1,200 for an actual Renoir vs. $2,300 for the fake Mickey "Renoir". Just because people will buy it doesn't mean that it's Art.
Unfortunately, the bungalows below don't have an MK view. What a shame.

if wealthy people want something.. they DONT SHARE.Where is this documented?
Apples to Oranges again. Because Venice is for the cultural/historic aspect.I posted some of this in another thread but because people keep arguing it:
All of this "for half the price you could get this and stay in the real bora bora etc. etc..." Is like saying why would you stay in The Venetian or Paris hotels in Vegas when in the REAL Venice and Paris you can stay in an authentic Venetian or Parisian hotel for a cheaper price and have a MUCH better experience!
Well... I'm pretty sure those people in those hotels in Vegas are staying there and paying the prices available to them because... they wanted to go to Vegas. And they simply chose a hotel in Vegas that they liked the look of and they chose to spend their money on.
Just like the people in Disney are choosing to go... to Disney. And to stay in Disney. And are simply choosing a hotel they like the look of theme wise and to their chosen price point.
I can't imagine anyone who has booked to stay at the Poly did so because "Oh hey, why go to Hawaii when for 4 x the price I can stay in a Disney hotel themed to Hawaii!". I'm guessing they were looking to book a holiday... In Disney World. And then chose a hotel they liked the theme of.
Oh and I also have experience with rich people, and guess what, there isn't just one type. I know those who pay for the most expensive things for the sake of it, those who just pay whatever the price happens to be when they happen to go places or buy things, and those who do still look for the value of things and wouldn't dream of spending money like that even though they could afford to. Because... rich people... are people. And people are different and have different values, beliefs and tastes, whatever their income.
if wealthy people want something.. they DONT SHARE.
they BUY.. CUSTOMIZE.. and then RENT/SELL if they have the place unused for too long.
Apples to Oranges again. Because Venice is for the cultural/historic aspect.
The Venetian is for the broadway shows and casinos.
You would be barking mad if you go to the Venetian to see "The Venice feel".
And pretty sure you would not be getting a "Poly feel" in some pizza huts above an stagnant water lake.
Nah, you're just a bit judgey.
Welcome to the club.
Didn't they stop building that car because they were way too expensive to build vs the cost?
lol good one!I have one of those.......
In Grand Theft Auto V.
their own private mini pool.That was my whole point- which you've missed- that people saying you could stay in Bora Bora for a better experience than those bungalow is the same Apples to Oranges as if people were to say you should got to actual Venice instead of the Venetian in Vegas. Of course the Vegas casino is not Venice! Just as these bungalows at Disney aren't Bora Bora. People aren't going to be staying at these bungalows because they want a "beach hut over crystal waters luxury beach holiday" but because they want to go to Disney World and see these as the larger accommodations to stay in with a view of the castle/fireworks and their own private mini pool. If they wanted that luxury beach holiday... Then that's likely what they would book.
No need to be snarky about it. I consider any vehicle that costs as much as a house to be aimed at more well off people."My most expensive product" != 1%er product
