News Round Up

wdwthemeparks (unofficial site) is reporting a strong rumor that Innovations west, after closing, will become seasonally opened "Event space" ala the Wonders of Life pavillion. https://twitter.com/WDWThemeParks/status/579672066036731904

Also hoping this is debunked. Seems like half of Future World is already "event space".

Inside the new Polynesian bungalows

Not that I am the one that's being marketed to here because I'm never staying in one of those EVER, but anyone else find that plunge pool looking way too tiny, and that awful metal fence around the balcony just to be the ugliest thing you've ever seen. Maybe it looks better in person, and I'm sure they had a lot of concerns when designing things about kids falling into the lake, but talk about destroying the theme.

However, the image of the electric water pageant on the trundle bed is just fantastic. And the rest does look extremely beautiful.

Agree - unless the plan was to convert Innoventions to event space and bring back Wonders of Life to it's former glory. (Likelyhood extremely low I know - even though it's probably the next "rumor" that will float by.) I can't see how they need more event space with Millenium Village, Wonders of Life, and Oddysey Bldg all available.

But, The Mirrors Talk To You....!!!!!!

What struck me was - if you put the max number of guests in there, with all of the shelf beds folded down - that's a tight space. Then, to your point - 8 people in that pool (or even on the deck) has to be illegal in 37 States...

Do like the color scheme very much and the master bathroom flows well with nice tile, though.

That's probably the only way it can come to wdw

Come one, come all! Buy one of a kind merchandise - direct from Shanghai - featuring our great Disney action heroes!!!

...and if you want to experience it - take I-4 to Kirkman and go to our competitors park...

Just come back and eat and drink here later...and Just buy merchandise at both...depending on which stuffs higher priced...yeah...right.

I had hoped that self control could be exercised.
Silly me

Well I'm not an expert on plunge pools but they are only supposed to be for a dip to cool off. I will agree that the water pageant on the bed is an excellent touch.

The concept art really reminds me of the mask room. but, much to no avail.

I do like the looks, the features and finish of them, but nothing, and I repeat nothing, makes these worth 3 to 3 1/2 times the points I spend for a 2 bedroom villa at other DVC's. If the points are that much more, how much do these cost for the cash guest????

Between $2,100 and $2,900 a night depending on season.

Sure I can. I still got both arms and legs...and 3 children. They gotta be worth something.

The best thing about selling your kids is... Whoever buys them will also pay you to take them back!

The idea of the Poly Bungalows is outstanding. Being right on the water with an in-room view of the water pageant and the MK fireworks (with piped-in music, no less!) sounds fantastic. For the most part, the rooms look very attractive.

Being that there are only 20 of them, I'm sure reserving one won't be easy. Also, the price makes them out of reach of most. Still... I can dream!

Question for followers of this thread. Would you like me to start a new thread where I have the first post be the table of contents and the rest is discussion for the things that had been posted. The general discussion would stay of course just an easy place for followers to find the news stories and the date.

I, and I think many of the more casual visitors, would love it. For the regulars who visit often it isn't necessary. I just don't have the time. Sometimes when I get on and check this thread there are 4 or 7 pages, sometimes there are 10 or 15. It is very difficult to find the news. For a few weeks I quit reading the thread because I just couldn't catch up. I got a free Saturday morning and went through checking all the pages. This is one of the most important threads I want to check.

Regulars don't have these issues, but how many people would like to check the news and don't? I don't begrudge anyone their discussions, I just wish I could find the news. I love the idea of this thread and really appreciate those who post the news, but for anyone who can't keep up, it gets disheartening.

For example. I just now saw your post you made several pages ago. Others quickly answered they like it as is. But they see the posts right away. Many that would like your suggestion won't see your post.

Couldn't there be plenty of discussion if you did it the way you describe? Whatever you decide I will make it work, I really appreciate this thread.
