Let's speculate about Polynesian some more!

[Disdreaming479]

I’m convinced it’s a club lounge with fireworks view, which will sell more points. DVC wants to sell points at their new high end Poly Tower. Everything will be deluxe+ imo.
ETA: the buy in, points charts, and offerings will be deluxe+. Get your wallets ready.

I wonder if these floors will be club level, and maybe some of those spaces will be dedicated to that?

I was thinking Club level like the open windows over at regular Poly.

I agree. I think this is much more plausible option than a lounge for the general public to access. I personally wouldn't be happy staying on a floor where hoards of people were coming and going for events.

But what about the other 3-4 large open areas? They wouldn’t all be club/concierge, right?

I would LOVE for Poly to have a club level. We have stayed at AKL club level multiple times and nothing beats walking out your door, grabbing some food and drinks and then walking back to your room to look at the savanna. Getting food and then walking back to your room to watch MK fireworks would be .

Oh was I thinking along the lines of blue card privilege to pay for these experiences lol, not unlike BLT lounge today.

Blue card access only to the skyliner

The one on the top looks like GV balcony to me. The windows on the top floor look too small to be for a dining location. The other one on the right is still covered in scaffolding, but looks like it could be a lounge or similar. It’s possible one requires a club booking category to access, and one could be with cash reservation/ direct purchase requirement.

Club level? Themed lounge? Spa? Gym? Indoor pool?

I agree.

It matches the conversation a few pages ago. Someone posted the larger viewing area is almost identical to the Hawaii longhouse club level. Many Poly guests love the club level and will only buy DVC if there is a club level.

These four opening are across and adjacent to guest rooms reminds me of the BW Inn club room, but with better views.

Edit:
If I'm seeing it correctly, middle tower monorail view only has 8 sliding door areas while the lake facing has 16 in that middle section.

Cutouts:

• Lake facing cutout (2x2 studio size) in the middle tower area on floors 5-6. I think this area is left of the elevator shaft.
• Lake facing cutout (2x2 studio size) in the closer to VGF section on floors 3-4.
• Monorail facing cutout (2x2 studio size) in the middle tower section on floors 4-5 (roughly the second and third studio area from the GV large balcony).
• Monorail facing cutout (1x2 studio size two floors?) in the middle tower section on floors 5-6. Second studio area away from the GV large balcony on the other side.

There is definitely another large cutout on what I think is the 3rd/4th floor lower right. Also appears to be a smaller cutout to the left on floors 5-6. (Both are in the center section of the tower).

Am I correct that these cutouts don't match the same cutout locations facing the lake?

That’s correct. The one facing the monorail is not in the same location as the one facing the lake.

Maybe the first bullet is the club lounge and the second bullet is a y-card reservation only (or Poly guest only) bar/lounge?

Maybe one could be a Community Hall?

Maybe one facing the monorail could be a gym!

Not a popular opinion - but I think they are just viewing areas, cool design effects that are just places to just enjoy the resort. Much like the triangular areas with balconies between the wings.

Hmmm ... an electrician is out at Tangaroa Terrace ... I hope it's something new and exciting. https://or.occompt.com/recorder/eagleweb/downloads/20240224305.pdf?parent=DOC3697S9853&guest=true

Interesting… Looks like a solid wall of windows?

If they are windows, they are different widths. Ones on the left are narrower. Or they put something white over the windows?

That looks Grand Villa-y to me.

Would 4 grand villas be an appropriate amount for that size building? I’d rather they be in those cutouts, than at the very top of the building.

Given they think that VDH only needs 2 I think 4 is reasonable. I was wondering if that structure up top was a GV but if it were a GV the placement of the doors on top would be little awkward
