That thought went through my mind too!! But I also know once I have points I want to keep them forever.

Same! I told my wife we could flip BC without even trying and she said nope I want Beach Club points! LOL

That IS the problem...but now I'm all over the new Poly developments!

That new tower doesn’t blend in with the the Polynesian feel at all in case of theming. However it will probably provide much needed one-three bedroom which Poly and VGF lack. It’s totally functional but not beautiful. I guess they had this planned out when they planned the resort studios. And want people to wait to buy Poly instead of selling out VGF2 so fast.

We've always said if Poly just had 1 BR's we'd buy in a second! I agree, it's not anything special to look at, but it is perfect for our needs. We toyed with VGF2 and just don't love the vibe, so this is great news for us.
I need my W/D!

I wonder if this is going to be an add on to the current membership like at VGF2 or if the new tower will be it's own thing, like Boulder Ridge and Copper creek....

agreed we didn't even look at Poly for our main contract because they only have studios. for a couple nights that's fine but if we are there for a full week or more I need a 1 BR. and we love the W/D. I'll be interested to see how this all pans out...

Thanks! I think your sale will be fine. Disney never takes back Aulani, not even on subsidized contracts for some odd reason. Enjoy your future trips. I've loved Disney my whole life and even honeymooned at WDW when I was 23. Your kids can keep enjoying it too now that you have DVC. It's never too late.

I'm not just worried about Disney taking it in ROFR (I still don't understand why they wouldn't take subsidized accounts back), but also something going wrong with the sellers. I submitted the signed paperwork and deposit for our full priced offer on Saturday and they still haven't returned their portion. It is making me anxious! I will feel a little better once that first step is taken.

I hope it all works out for you.

That really is the million dollar question that was purposely not included in the announcement.

We will all have to wait. I did tell my guide to let me know as soon as he gets that info in a way that can be shared. As of yesterday, he had no idea.

My guess would be separate like CCV/BRV by its size and amount of new villas available. But then again, Disney could just sell you a shorter contract with the same price as the ones are longer. Maybe it only contains 1-3 bedrooms because Poly has plenty of studios along with VGF2.

Yeah I’m betting they will hold off on releasing that info for as long as possible. They want to see how the new GFV points sell, and they’re probably toying with “what’s next” after Poly and the best way to structure everything.

That is my guess as well. I will be more surprised to see it kept in the same association.

 

[Chia1974]

Disney has lots of interest on building/converting new DVC buildings but not a stand alone hotel. They really want people to join the club.

 

[sjdrr1313]

I was just talking with a Poly owner who said she would be angry if the new building had 1-2 bedrooms and the current Poly owners couldn't access them (but to be fair, that's what she knew she was buying when she bought at Poly- studios and bungalows only). But then you'd think if it's NOT in the same association they will have to include some studios in the new building as well... So on the one hand I could see them adding 1-2 bedrooms and keeping the studios and bungalows as they are and making it all one association... But it's definitely possible that they'll just start something all new...

I think they should just name it Seven Seas Tower (SST) at the Polynesian

I think that will be another key. Given how many studios there are, it would make no sense to add more to the tower if it will be all one association. But new? It would need all rooms types!

That covers all bases and makes too much sense. So it will never happen

And we have sooooo long to wait to hear what they are going to do, lol. did you book a room with your new points at VGF2? Are all the rooms snatched up already? lol I'm interested to see if I'll be able to get anything when it opens to non-GF owners in May

I did book! One night in July and two connecting rooms for a night in February. Plus some more nights in 1 abs 2 bedrooms for Dec and Jan.

I think you will have good luck!!!

And the "tower" looks so big - not sure how it's all going to fit. Wonder how brides paying those big bucks for their weddings are going to feel with it being so closed in now.
