Fwiw we stayed in the resort studios over July 4th and had no issues with noise. Not saying that people don’t but it wasn’t nearly as bad - for us - as some have made it out to be.
Maybe we've had 50 years of unfortunately loud neighbors...I guess it's possible (except for the modular builds of the original contemp and poly, which as a result are great for sound dampening). We've had many a chat with management over the years. Even the Grand Royal Palm Club Level is paper walls. Back in 1988 we used to joke that they hadn't heard of safe and sound insulation, lol. But I'd say consider yourself lucky if this is the first you're experiencing it.
Oh lawd. 80%, I can't imagine.
We have the absolute worst luck. It's ridic.
At least the Tree houses were a unique accommodation. They didn't affect the rest of the resort. In fact the Treehouses may be the only thing that books up there. DVC took the cheap way out on the new building. Nothing but regular studios. Albeit some with a great view. Would have been nice if they tore down that building and put up a twin of the other building.
I am interested in the cabins for this reason. Maybe you as well?
We stayed in the Polynesian Bungalows several times for this reason...and then during covid had the worst neighbor problem of all at WDW when the bungalow next door was smoking on their deck non-stop (drifting to our deck and bungalow), blasting music and swearing like there was no tomorrow. Basically a spring break type of party vibe. This escalated to the point that we had the Polynesian hotel manager and security involved. They were excellent, took it very seriously and laid down the law to the point of informing this group in no uncertain terms that they would be escorted from the property immediately if there was one more incident (as all of those and more were violations no family should have to put up with to those extremes). No more bungalows for us. We've found after many stays there that often groups go in for one night to party because not many can afford a full week there. That's just been our experience unfortunately. So the bungalows went from our favorite to a no-go. The only sure-fire for us so far is a VGF Grand Villa.
That's horrible!
It was unbelievable. But total props to the CMs who handled is swiftly and professionally.
I fully agree. Basically, the flip was the same soft goods refurb that the other GF buildings got, quick and inexpensive, slightly different colors, plus microwave. Solved problems for two divisions.
The crazy thing with the treehouses is they were the same points as a 2 bedroom when the additional points were sold. Then as soon as sales were completed, treehouses were bumped up and 2 bedrooms went down a little. That was kind of sleazy.
