    Let's speculate about Polynesian some more!

    Assuming poly tower is the same association …… If you buy direct at Poly whenever they open up sales, you'll be able to get first pick at the rooms. DVC usually gives new purchasers a 2-4 week window. Outside that, there will be low availability for the first 6 months in the tower. And I bet for...

    The Official VILLAS at DISNEYLAND HOTEL (Discovery Tower) Owners and Fans Info Thread

    We went in February, the PP entrance was a ghost town no matter when we used it. Early entry, middle of the day, at night after the World of Color. Maybe a couple of other families with us, but usually not.

    Let's speculate about Polynesian some more!

    We went in 4 times into the main pool area. First 3 times never got a wristband. 4th time we were 'shocked' when we went near the hot tub that one of the cast members gave us all wristbands and towels and found us a place to sit. We were already well inside the gates, and nobody was stationed at...

    How long to give the sellers for a purchase offer?

    I don’t think you 'understand it’s the weekend'. Many people don’t even check their emails on the weekend. Give the person at least until Monday night to allow them to respond.

    VDH resale prices are lower than I expected.

    When you sell VDH, you’re not really selling a DVC contract, just a VDH contract. Prices should be a LOT lower. I wouldn’t pay more than $75 a point for them.

    New Poly DVC tower

    Yep, it will all even out. With no shades of green traffic, and the added poly tower traffic, it will be net zero. Or maybe better. Shades of Green has 600 rooms. The new tower will have 250.

    New Poly DVC tower

    The Disneyland Villas DVC also has a very small pool for a similar sized tower. DVC are allowed to use the pools in the rest of the Disneyland Hotel resort. This seems to be the case here as well. The other 2 pools in the Polynesian Resort would be available to DVC. There are currently 847...

    Torn between DVC direct and resale

    Buying direct was definitely worth it for us. We were able to stay at the Villas at Disneyland Hotel in February. Wouldn't have been able to if we bought resale. If we want to stay at the Riviera, or the new Poly Tower - we can, no matter if it's a new association or part of Poly. It's nice...

    This is an image I took of the pool. I really hope it’s something else. I’m sure it’s some flower falling from one of the palm trees surrounding the pool or something. I’ll look into it.

    I would love to think it could be something else. They were circular, brown, size of a muffin. With a falling apart look to them. Not flowery looking. Not solid. I hope it’s something else, like maybe from a tree in the area, would relive me.

    Has anyone had this issue before? I've been to a dozen or so on-property resorts, including the cheaper All Star resorts at WDW, but I've never seen this. In the main pool of the Disneyland Hotels, there was a lot of poop in the pool by mid-afternoon. Maybe 5-10 turds at the bottom of the...

    Exactly correct. They have limited space. If it’s taken by other guests, they’ll have no room for yours. We went in February, and they had space for our bag.

    High rooms haven't had hot water problems. You said 'both' hot tubs are open? There are 3 hot tubs. I guess the one in the main large pool in the center and the Minnie one is open. The DVC side hot tub is STILL not working?

    The Official VILLAS at DISNEYLAND HOTEL (Discovery Tower) Owners and Fans Info Thread

    I agree. As a DVC owner when purchasing DVC I was told that there are no taxes on any stays using DVC points. This was a big selling point. They've changed this at Aulani and Disneyland Hotel. There should have been a notice sent to all owners telling them about this fact. And when you book a...

    I have written a complaint letter about my stay to DVC, no response back yet. I'll let everyone know if there is. I wish we were simply notified of the water issues and hot tub issues. But they're trying to hide any issues.

    Will you buy Poly 2 resale or direct?

    Remember when they extended OKW from 2042 to 2057? Could they do the same thing if you buy 'new' direct Poly points? The Poly2 would be in the same association, but the expiration would extend from 2066 to 2074? The extra 8 years would not be much an incentive to me, but for some people it...

    I hope it stays on. I received a little more information from a Disneyland Hotel Main Lobby Receptionist. During the month that it's not working properly - the one boiler will overheat and fail. They are able to wait until it cools down, and restart it. It will work for a while and then go down...

    Upgrading APs for Epic Universe in 2025

    Universal maximizes profits just like Disney. Their ticket prices are the same or more than Disney. Food prices same. Express-pass prices are much more expensive. The ONLY thing cheaper at Universal are the APs. For someone out-of-town like me, who can only go once a year, therefore APs don't...

    Star View Station at Disneyland - 2024 updates?

    The Disneyland lounge is much bigger than the WDW lounge. And it also offers a bathroom. The snacks and soda machine are the same. It also looks like it was just thrown together because Disneyland had an empty area to use. It's all Star Wars themed the entire LONG walk to get to the lounge...

    Upgrading APs for Epic Universe in 2025

    APs are a way to add people to the park when they can't fill the park with people purchasing day tickets. I bet there will even be a lottery or some type of queue or reservation system to get tickets to Epic in 2025. With all the demand, it would be an incredibly stupid move for Universal to...
