Viewing poly rooms

[patm95]

Hi all. What’s the best way to view a room at the poly? Do they have demo rooms you can tour like boardwalk has? Do you need a guide to set this up? We’d like to explore the property on our next visit and check out the rooms.

You can for sure do a DVC tour in the Tower.

They do have rooms you can tour, they will make you tour the room with a guide so it's not like an open house sort of deal but you can just ask them in the tower to have a guide show you the room.

Just stand in the tower lobby with your traveling party. Let a three second pause enter your conversation. One of five nearby DVC onsite guides will fill that pause with, "Who here wants to stay magical year after year?" A few minutes later they'll walk you up to a model room.

Let me add to that. Last spring, when I was staying in the tower, I had this conversation.

DVC Guide: Where are you staying?

Me: Here in the Tower.

DVC Guide: Do you want to tour one of our model rooms?

Me: Wouldn't it be just like the room I'm staying in.

DVC Guide, confused: Yeah, probably.


--so yeah, just walk into the lobby, and you should be able to see a model room. My guess: there's clearly a target number of tours they're expected to give each day.

Most of the DVC resorts have model rooms, but you need to go with a DVC guide. They will give you a tour and a brief sales presentation, no pressure. You may need to make reservations to do so.

Omg. That’s so funny.

They do open houses for current members 12:30-1:30 (those were the times previously I think they are still the same)

Can we be shown all the different room types?

If a guide asked us about touring one of their model rooms, I’d ask to see 1st floor TPV

Too bad, thats reserved for a DVC member who requested a high floor.

The only ones they weren't willing to show me were the penthouses because of the limited inventory

It was a 1 bed and studio. It may have been the 2 bed lock off. I wanted to view the bungalows so for that I had to meet with a guide separate from the tour.

When i toured poly i called ahead and they gave me the $200 gc (before I was a member). They showed me a 2 bedroom lockoff and a duo studio.

This next time we went as members looking to buy direct, i wanted to see the longhouse room and bungalow. I emailed my guide but he was out of office so i just scheduled my room update for the disney bag at bwv in person when we got there and asked the guide if we could see poly when we were staying at pit next week and he said yes and met us up in the lobby and took us.

They showed me the longhouse but not bungalow. I asked a couple of different guides and it was a hard no for the bungalow, they're not doing that anymore apparently.

I got to tour it in late May
