Thanks for sharing!

Odd that they used such low camera angles for the bathrooms...there's other ways to avoid mirrors in videos.

We were split in our home about which art we preferred, Jungle Book vs. Eyvind Earle, but it was unanimous at how small the Duo seems without a wide angle lens!

I saw Plan Disney posted their updated “pocket guide” on Instagram. A little concerned the Deluxe Studios mention a “1 Queen Sized Sleeper Sofa” rather than the “1 Queen Size Pull Down Bed” like all other room categories list. Can I assume this is just an error as all the renderings and preview video have the Murphy bed?

That duo studio is tiiiiiiny.

Awesome! Can’t wait to see videos of the villas!

That duo studio is tiiiiiiny.

It does appear that way, but it also looks like it has a chair by the bed (barely fits) but also a chair next to the TV. We are doing a Duo/Deluxe Studio split in June -- 3 and 6 nights. Originally we were going to do 9 in the Duo. I'm glad we split it.

That duo studio is tiiiiiiny.

Reminds me of the time I visited my friend in Manhattan just after we had graduated from college and she was sharing a studio apartment with 2 other people and they had built temporary walls to divide it into 3 tiny private spaces.

But if you just need a spot where you can sleep and shower then it works!

I don't think my post sent (if it did, sorry for the duplicate) but I saw DisneyParks & PlanDisney posted the updated "pocket guide" for the DLH. I noticed the Deluxe Studio is listed with a "Queen Sized Sleeper Sofa", while the rest of the villas list the "Queen Sized Pull Down Bed".

Hoping this is just a mistake on their part? I thought they were all supposed to have the murphy bed.

As someone who likes having cold water/frozen water in the parks - I'm curious to see if the mini fridge in the Deluxe has a freezer like the Duo studio.

It probably should, right?

That duo studio is tiiiiiiny.

I've stayed in the Tower studio that's at Riviera and it reminds me of that which I loved staying in but it's definitely not for everyone. But also why it is strictly 2 adult ( plus an infant) capacity .

 

[AstroBlasters]

A standard duo is around 10-25 points per night and $13.2pp (assuming no incentives on a small contract and dues, but not including closing costs, financing interest, or TVM) then back of the napkin leads to $131 per night to $330 per night.

$131 per night can justify… $330 per night for a standard duo…

DVC page updated to "Now Open"

That duo studio is tiiiiiiny.

Tiny but mighty! Just DW and I going in February. Had limited WDW DVC points to use. Switched from a standard studio 3 nights and was able to book a duo for 4 nights using less points. That's about the minimum duration we like. Gives enough time to arrive, couple days at the parks, then a day of rest/pool/shopping/beach/etc. at the end.

T-90 minutes to live-stream...

VDH is not my home resort, but hoping to get in at the 7 month mark next summer. I'm jealous of the merchandise though!! And excitedly following along on all the updates today.
