Poly DVC

[lah3hh]

I know I should know this but I don't...how do I find Tikiman's site/blog? I would like to follow him and get all of the latest updates on the Poly activity. If I am not allowed to ask that question on this site, my apologies ahead of time.

 

[Tikiman]

my site is tikimanpages.com but it may be shutting down soon so I update my facebook with the latest.

Darn autocorrect! Haha! Shutting down.

It’s been 14 years and the site needs some updating but with a 17 month old running around and an 8 year old that wants my attention it has been hard to find the time to update the site.

Let’s not get off topic here though.

It is tikimanpages but usually if you search tikiman it is the first one.

Tikiman, you are awesome..... just want to make sure I can follow you.... either on FB or webpage.... keep it going I have grown up at a restaurant you may be familiar with.... The Omni Hut in Smyrna, TN.... opened by an Air Force captain stationed in the South Pacific, and the best food I have ever put in my mouth.... better than in Hawaii.... so I am a fan of Polynesia and the Polynesian hotel have been waiting for a DVC at the Poly for 15 years..... will hate to see it scaled back as you fear it will..... was hoping for a little Aulani and WDW

"Walt Disney World is building more Vacation Club timeshares at its Polynesian Resort.

“The planned development project at Disney’s Polynesian Resort, when completed, will join Disney Vacation Club’s 12 other properties, including The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, scheduled to open Oct. 23," said a Disney news release. "Construction on the Polynesian project began this month, and completion is estimated to be in 2015. In addition to the Disney Vacation Club project, other guest areas within Disney’s Polynesian Resort will undergo refurbishment. More information and project details will be shared at a later date.”

There were no details on how many units were being added, but it now allows the company to market the Disney Vacation Club spots along Walt Disney World’s monorail system.

So props to Tikimanpages.com, which wrote a blog back in August that said the project would “be taking 143 rooms out of inventory at some point when they close Tahiti to be turned into [Disney Vacation Club]” portions.

This new addition provides more rooms for Walt Disney World to attract more tourists to Central Florida, which will help other area businesses and help continue to grow the region's $32 billion tourism industry.

This is a developing story, check back later for more.

Thanks Majortom. I also expect to see Rapa Nui's 80+ rooms to be converted also along with the 20 added bungalows so I think the total DVC rooms will be about 250.

The hot tub was scheduled to go in where the kids wet play area is now about a year ago but was postponed. Last thing I heard was it may or may not have made the cut with the reduction in the project. I should hear more soon but for now I think it is 50/50 that is goes in when the pool deck is redesigned.
