Questions About Poly DVC Lake View Studio...

[MSS91]

If you request an upper floor, and if your request is granted, do you always have a view of the Magic Kingdom?

Is there one longhouse that is better than another that I should request for a lake view DVC room?

In the picture below you will see the 3 DVC buildings. Tokelau is the unnamed one on the left. Tokelau, Pago Pago, and the side of Moorea that faces into the resort are the standard view villas. The side of Moorea that faces the lake are where the lake view studios are located. There are some "standard view" rooms in Tokelau toward the lake end that have non direct views of the lake/MK from the balcony. If you booked a "lake view" you will directly face the lake (but possibly be blocked by the bungalows). If you booked a "standard view" you need to request Tokelau longhouse near the lake end to have any chance of a partial lake view.

If you booked Lake View, you will be in Moorea. Lake View is not necessarily a Theme Park View.

All lake views are in Moorea. I requested top floor in May and we got 3020 with a perfect view of the castle! I think first floor rooms would be looking straight at the bungalows.

If our pool view DVC studio request is granted in October, we would definitely be in Tokelau. Right?

That is correct- the only pool view DVC rooms are on one side of Tokelau.

To answer the op's original question, yes if you get an upper floor lake view DVC unit, you should have a view of the castle and space mountain. I don't remember seeing any trees in front of those units, but maybe somebody can correct me if I'm wrong.

If you are requesting lake view make sure you request an upper floor in Moorea. If you get that then you should have no issues with viewing the castle and a great shot of fireworks off your balcony every evening.

But if you don't get 3rd floor, please don't have a tantrum at the CM. Everyone asks for 3rd with LV; 2/3 of requests cannot be honored. The CMs can't do magic with time and space.

Checked in Saturday. Requested 3rd floor. Got 3027. Great view, great room. Couldn't be happier.

Oh no I would never hold it against them if we got a different floor! I may if we got a standard view when we paid the extra points for a lake view! Lol we are only going to be there one night so I thought it work be a better advantage to getting our request, only need one night there as opposed to getting multiple
