Island Tower at Polynesian Villas & Bungalows

[maui22]

I’m not sure that is what many people have prepared themselves for— looks like basically everything on the lagoon side higher than the 3rd (?) floor with even a glimpse of park across the lagoon is going to be TPV, and the point chart will reflect it.

Looks like there will be 2-3 floors of Standard on one side of the building and then preferred view the rest of that side, and 2-3 floors of preferred view over the pool that will probably be extremely competitive, and then 40% of the tower is TPV, is that what we’re all thinking now?

What floor do rooms start on? I imagine most of 1st (ground to us brits) will be amenities, I’d be surprised if there were any non TPV rooms lagoon side (may have to crank your neck at times to see!)

Preferred view will be like BWV right with golf and pool the equivalent of garden and pool ie won’t be able to book separately, just request?

There are some rooms on the first floor. I believe they have some amenities/common areas adjacent to the lobby area. Then, they start with first and second floor rooms. Third floor is where they seem to start having rooms all the way around. Floors 3-6 have the cutouts in some spaces.

The first and second floor rooms on the lagoon side (closer to the wedding chapel) certainly won't see the parking lot, golf course, or the pool, so they must be able to see BTMRR and/or Tiana's Bayou? Personally, I think Disney should start them on the 3rd or 4th floor, but it's all about the money. (See BLT 2009-2010 and the comments/anger that resulted in them moving the TPV rooms up to the 5th floor...after opening).

I feel as though Disney is limiting their options. Filing the declaration has nothing to do with a sales start date.

Evidence (VGF-CFW) shows declaration to sales ranges anywhere from 5-131 days.

PVB was 5 days from filing found on occompt until sales to existing members starting. VDH master declaration was found 131 days before sales started. BPK was 50 days from master declaration until sales started. Based on reports, they didn't recieve timeshare approval to sell BPK in all states until 1-2 days before sales started.

Some think they make a big IT@PVB announcement at D23. Problem is that would be drowned out at D23. Disney knows things like this, it's why they have been releasing DCL information this week as opposed to D23. D23 fans want theme park additions/enhancements to compete with Universal. They also want movie/entertainment announcements.

I get annoyed that 2nd floor at BLT is considered LV. Those big trees block any possible view.

Wow I didn't know that was the case. That is nuts!

I hope all the pools, no matter deluxe/DVC or not, implement the wristbands and don't just rely on Magic Bands. Every single FB group or DVC chat seems to have folks parking at Springs and using Saratoga pools, folks crashing Riviera's pools (not sure why, they're not super amazing by any stretch,) and Caribbean Beach's pool has always been a standout. I'm nervous about the never-ending chorus of how packed Poly pools and beaches are already, and hearing about folks dumping off the TTC/monorail in beach clothes to follow folks through the gate is not cool. Also read about folks throwing birthday parties at the Kidani/Jambo pools and staying off site.

Up until this summer, I NEVER heard of incidents like this. SAB was always known to be its own entity, which is totally fair. Heck, even Aulani seems to be overrun.

Bring on date-based, color-coded bands for the pools. Works for me!

In another thread I posted about a person who was a CM at a third party location at DS having a birthday party for her child at the BRV pool (I was eavesdropping, reason in other post). I agree 1000% on wristbands at nearly all the pools and having a CM scanning MB's. Even if it's not at the entrance, just have a CM wandering around the pool every so often checking/scanning people at the pool. The CM could give a wristband to each person scanned at that point, so the CM knows if the guest has been verified or not and is not asked again. Word would get out!

Edit: You must be psychic.

Condo Related DVC document just showed up.
Document is pending an upload.

It should be one of the following...

• IT@PVB master declaration (possible). Edit: seems highly likely. It's 17 pages long. The last Riviera amendment was 7 pages. Also the Recording Fee is larger than Riviera's last amendment.
• Riviera Amendment (possible)
• CFW Amendment (unlikely).

Edit2: Adding another image.


Edit3: I believe they also have the Condo Drawing for this, but it's still being processed

Waiting for the county to upload the document images is agonizing. I hope they complete this before they head home for the weekend.

 

[lukemorenus]

We probably already knew this... but cool!

 

[maui22]

Not sure if this will work. In case, the actual document ID the county shows is 20240449562 (for the drawing).

Neat-o

Fitness Center! Wooooo!

Also, it looks like one of the mystery squares is being labeled as a "pocket garden samoa"

 

[maui22]

Other document started showing up for me.
6th amendment to PVB. Actually submitted July 31st.

Fitness Center! Wooooo!

Looks like that small open area next to the Fitness Center is going to be the beverage station. Almost positive that "beverage storage" location matches the photos show that area has an opening to the outside.

Great! We have plan of the 2 bedroom ‘deluxe’ now as well… which I assume is the penthouse villa
