If no one told me this was the Polynesian expansion, I’d think this is a nice Marriott anywhere. I LOVE the Polynesian but let’s hope this rendering is missing a lot of what’ll make this look and feel Polynesian. MORE TIKI TORCHES PLEASE!

If I know anything about Disney, we can expect a lot of differences from the early artist renderings

Looks like a mix of Reflection and Poly...

LOL - thanks for the laugh. At least it has a proper kitchenette unlike a resort under construction that will remain nameless

Really hoping it is part of the current condo association like VGF2!!

VGF1 came on-line before PVB did and they made VGF2 part of the same condo association, it sure seems like they would do the same for PVB2. Fingers crossed

Maybe history will repeat itself...for the positive in this situation!

But Copper Creek isn’t part of Boulder Ridge… I really hope you are right!

Me too. The wording of the press release seems to call it an expansion of Polynesian Villas and not a new name like Copper Creek was, so I choose to believe!

I could see this being a separate condo association with a fresh 50 year contract. Perhaps, if they were just converting a longhouse or two they'd include it as part of the current association and have the same contract length.

 

[wnielsen1]

I'll be fine either way - but I hope it's a separate association. Unlike Riv, resale restrictions won't stop my from buying. I also wouldn't need to fight with PVB1 for reservations.

 

[BamaGuy44]

Is it possible it could have its own monorail station? A guy can dream right?

it’s so vague, but I agree that it leans towards being part of the same. Hope some journalists ask and get it clarified soon!!

Since PVB1 expires in 2066, owners still have 44 years.
VGF expires in 2064 and they are selling VGF2 with the same contracts/dates.

The VGF2 expansion worried me even though I'm not an owner there. I wondered if the expansion would hurt the VGF1 owners because it introduces more competition for the 1BR and 2BRs. Or, even though the point charts are currently the same, will DVC adjust them so that the resort studios require less points and thus increasing the VGF1 point charts... I am an owner at PVB, and this one doesn't worry me as much. PVB is studio-heavy and it's one of the reasons I'm okay with it. If this introduces 1BR and 2BRs to PVB, it will only benefit the "PVB1" owners. I just hope they don't come in with the concept of "resort 1-bedrooms" or "resort 2-bedrooms".

There will be so many DVC rooms near MK!
I hope the Epcot/DHS area will see some love next.
And I also hope the design changes in the end to better fit with the Poly layout and architecture.

 

[wilkydelts]

Do we expect an insane point chart? That is the biggest difference between a Poly expansion and the GF expansion. GF already had point charts in place, Poly has no charts for 1BR and 2BR villas. It is a blank canvas for them!

 

[UofMGuy423]

Nice! If it has 1 and 2BR options, I'd definitely buy a second contract there. I love Poly, but the studio-only setup kept me from buying there.

Agreed - it looks thrown together last minute. Other than palm trees (which are present at nearly every resort) there's nothing here for place-making.

We thought the same thing about Riviera, and it unfortunately came out looking just as bland as the art warned us it would be (It's lovely inside, but that exterior was was budget-friendly for sure).
