The window is seven months, not eight. You can check availability using the tool on the website. I don't think there are enough points sold to really put any pressure on reservations in the home-resort period.
Only 10 or less of the 20 bungalows are available for DVC point reservations at this time. They may add additional units later but only Disney knows when.
Poly for 2016 is starting to fall into a pattern that is usual for the slow to moderate DVC demand season that runs from mid-Jan to late Sep. For mid-Jan through now mid-April 2016, the bungalows have been one the easiest reservations to get at 7 months out. In fact, Poly bingalows for that that mid-Jan to mid-April period have been easier to get than BWV pool/garden view, BLT lake view, AKV standard or savanna view, and even OKW. Currently, you can still get a Poly bungalow for Feb and March 2016 (including Easter time) except for Presidents' Day weekend. I highly suspect you will be able to get a bungalow during summer 2016 at 7 months out, a time when even the similarly point expensive VGF GV (of which there are only 6) is usually open at 7 months out.
