Island Tower at Polynesian Villas & Bungalows

Waiting for the comments that it’s too beige.

LOL - "looks just like a standard Marriott"

So is this going to be like one of those cruise ships where the hallway just ends on some floors and you need to go to a different floor to cross to the other side?

Because those boxes seem to block the entire floor.

Wow, they need to update the resort amenities section on their website!

So maybe we should just take it as face value for now, but do we think it’s really only exclusive to those staying at the tower? Or will it include all PVB guests? And no hotel guests? I’d be surprised if no hotel guests were allowed….oh maybe it means tower guests get for dibs on booking this space? I wouldn’t mind that

I think this means that if you use the elevator you'll need an active room key or magic band tied to your room. I doubt this has anything to do with actual "exclusivity," more than keeping everyone whos'snot staying there out of the elevators that go to guest areas, which I'm pretty sure where these gardens are.

In fairness, you can still book guided fishing excursions and be picked up at Poly. But otherwise, yeah, you’re spot in.

I can't tell you how many DVC people I've asked what the double height pockets are for in the tower? I've been told everything from two-bedroom suites to dining spaces. Ahh, so this is what they are for.

Escape from the family tbh

I think they be good for people staying Standard View (monorail side), atleast you’ll have a chance of seeing fireworks if they keep it exactly Tower Only.

More detail on the various topics being discussed today in the Disney Parks Blog post: https://disneyparksblog.com/wdw/new...tower-at-disneys-polynesian-villas-bungalows/

Some things we knew/suspected but the more times they put it in writing the better, when it comes to the new Cove Pool: “Both Disney Vacation Club members and guests staying at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort will be able to experience these new aquatic features.”

And even further “exclusive” language regarding access to the Pocket Gardens: “Members and guests staying at the Island Tower addition will enjoy exclusive access to four tropical terrace gardens.”

Check your email … my guide just sent me the Island Tower promo info.

Me too... but "coming soon" and no on-sale date mentioned?

 

[DonMacGregor]

Island Tower Promo information just released!

 

[jennypenny]

Email says minimum buy in is $23,500. Can you infer anything about point price from that?

 

[DonMacGregor]

Waiting for the comments that it’s too beige.

"If you look close, there's no way you can see the fireworks from there. Total waste of an opportunity. Total waste of space. Disney has no clue what they're doing anymore."

it looks like it says contact your guide. I’m at work I can’t call. Maybe someone can call theirs and see what the official word is. (Just noticed it says “not yet registered in all jurisdictions”)

I emailed to say, "thanks; let me know when you have point charts and pricing". We'll see!

 

[NY Pirate Princess]

[Instagramhusband]
