Island Tower questions - considering purchase....

[Jameson416]

I appreciate the points made here. Especially the fact that the longhouses are all studios. A fact I was not aware of. We very rarely use studios (only the new resort studios at GF-we love those). Even when it’s just DH and I, or myself and a friend, we prefer 1bdrms. When we bring our DD and her young family, we use 2 bedrooms. That said, we will have to take a long hard look at the points charts again.

We own at AKV and BWV, but my SIL doesn’t really like to stay at AKV and they do a trip every 2 years. This was one reason why Poly Towers is appealing to us. We would be in our 90’s upon its expiration and our 80’s when AKV expires so part of our ownership (for the future) is about the kids.

For the last 25 years, DH and I have used the heck out of our ownership and hope to for another many years to come….but as age creeps up that won’t be the case forever.

Thanks again for all the great info. I am still excited to see the new Poly Tower…you never know.

I have never done it personally, however, it is my understanding that it is not usually super difficult to get connecting studios, and the studios are among the biggest on property. That would also give you a combined 4 bathrooms.

Thanks. We decided against Island Tower. Didn’t love the feel of it and especially did not like the points charts. Way too high, we would need too many to make it useful to us as we like to use our points and at that price point, it just doesn’t make sense at this point in our lives.

I wouldn’t mind a 50 point add on at BWV or AKV! We will see.

Agreed. We felt the same way after touring the Poly2/PIT tower.

It’s kinda out there a ways by itself away from the Great Ceremonial House (which you have to get to for transportation, gift shops, and the better pool).

And the points chart for the villas is insane!

^ It's noteworthy that DVC options are so varied that each of us have a lot of options to meet our vacation preferences especially since those preferences can change over time.
