And while I was booking their studio at the Poly, I enquired about the availability of a Bungalow for our August, 4-night vacation. They said it was available, so I bit the bullet and turned the crank on that. We'll be staying at a Poly Bungalow for 4 nights in August! Once my wife learned what a Bungalow was and saw pictures of them, she said, "I'll just stay right here for the entire vacation."

This is most likely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I couldn't pass up. We'll still be staying 6 nights in December at VWL and 6 nights at AKV Kidani in December. Gotta love DVC...

Nice one WD! I thought I might do a couple nights but when I saw what that really meant for points I decided to wait until some year when we only have a single trip. Whew, they are point hogs!

It is located on 1st floor. As you approach the elevators, turn left, then right and right again into a door. Not far from elevators

Has anyone stayed in the 2BR's that are on the "diagonal" in the building? Namely, rooms 2519, 3519? We're staying in a dedicated 2 BR in August, and I just wanted to know how it's laid out, if it's somewhat larger/smaller then the rest, etc...... Thanks!

OMG!! I did not realize how long I had been away. It has been crazy around here in Texas. I try not to talk about weather since most of you have it so much worse than us. I know y'all are kinda used to it and we are babies when it comes to snow, but as you know we usually get ice which as they say on the map, Texas is closed. Well Monday and Tuesday that is what we had. . . an ice storm. Luckily it did not cause any tree damage around here like the one back in December of 2013, but it closed all the schools and a lot of businesses. Then yesterday we have snow!!! OK only a couple of inches (Dallas and Ft Worth got it worse than we did), but I will admit, for us, that is major. We have had the longest spell of frozen precipitation that I can remember in a long time. Those of you in the bad bad snow, please don't flame me, remember, we don't get this very often. We just started having winters (really bad ones) seems like a few years ago. Anyway, that is my rant for now, I like the rest of you am ready for spring. Oh yes, before this week, we had a lot of trees that were already budding out. Needless to say, those little buds are frozen!!!

Happy birthday Muush and DisneyFreaks!!! And anyone else I might have missed.
Welcome to the newbies. Glad you are joining us and enjoying the lodge. Wish I had a trip in the works. It will probably be late 2016 and 2017 before Kati and I make it back. All we have right now are Disney cruises and even that is not til Dec 2015. This is a long year for me with no inbetween vacations.

Everyone stay warm. . . Spring will hopefully be here soon.

Can't say as I have stayed in those particular rooms. I did once stay in a 2BR in that area and it overlooked the pool and courtyard area. Loved it! It was large and included a nice dining table; however, that was several years ago.

Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MUUSHKA!! Hope it's a great one!

Point hogs is right! But I happened to have some points banked into 2015 and only needed to borrow 92 points to make the reservation. Like I said, most likely a once in a lifetime opportunity. I don't know how availability will be once more PVB owners happen.

We've stayed in those. I call them the 'atrium' 2 bedroom villas. They're nicely sized imo. We love them. Also check out 2528, 3528, etc..

Just wanted to post this if the system lets me. It's the room map for VWL.

Have fun on your trip to Aulani! If you can get pictures for CodeSpyder, he would be a very happy spyder indeed.
