The Poly2 Pricing Thread

That would be lovely!

I'm still curious if they'll have more of the VGF resort style studios with two beds. As a lock-off, that would be way more desirable for us to have two dedicated beds - and I think the two real bed option has been popular.

The Resort Studios have definitely been popular.

And if they were used in a lock-off, it would be more similar to a dedicated 2BR, which also has 2 beds in the second bedroom (but no kitchenette...Resort Studios have a kitchenette-ette). May even remove the need for dedicated 2BR that recent DVC have had.

But they are available and it’s getting much harder to get a Deluxe studio. We prefer the sofa/Murphy over the dedicated second bed (though I think at VGF the biggest selling point of the Deluxe Studios over the resort studios is the 2 bath layout).

Resort studios don’t have a kitchenette- no sink just a microwave and mini fridge in a cabinet- this is the same setup as most regular hotel rooms.

To add, its a beverage cooler and not the same mini fridge as deluxe studios....which holds a lot less since it has the glass door.

That's why I called it a kitchenette-ette. It's a sub-kitchenette arrangement but it's still more than you get in the 2nd bedroom of a 2BR: nothing.

I'm clearly in the minority. But I much prefer the resort studios with the two beds and couch to the regular studio. This is especially true for shorter trips (like RunDisney) where we have two adults that don't want to share the same bed.

Until VGF resort studios, I believe OKW was the only WDW DVC property to offer this layout. When we booked family members for a couple trips, we had to book OKW because of the two real beds.

Newer Murphy bed/couches are far more comfortable than the old sofa beds.

It will be so easy to watch fireworks from many locations at the tower and Polynesian resort. Seems like standard view rooms could book at 10-11 months most of the year.

Only if a dedicated 2 bedroom..which has the full access to the kitchen as it’s one room with one entrance.

Lock off 2 bedrooms get the benefit of both full kitchen and kitchenette.

We did stay in a resort one night and I just didn’t like having only a bathroom sink.

What we don’t like about the resort studios at VGF is that we cannot sit on a couch to watch tv. We don’t like sitting on a bed when watching tv. But we are also a small family that doesn’t need two beds. I can see that some people prefer to have two beds.

OK, since we beat the VGF2 pricing thread to death let's start with the new Polynesian project. Will the price be the current $207 and will it be part of the original association?

Totally part of the original association.

You're not in the minority. No adult wants to sleep on the Murphy bed. However, it's way better than the old sofa beds.

I think it's great DVC has both options.

Sorry for not reading the entire thread, is there any news on when poly 2.0 will go on sale?

Nothing more than speculation based on “late 2024” opening.

Patiently waiting. Hopefully early 2024 we will get a little insight into the association of choice. I feel it will be a new association but I can see the argument for existing, especially if you already own at Poly

Are there any progress pics floating around? I haven’t seen anything since the beginning of June.

Here's a post from the Disney Resorts forum Poly thread: https://www.disboards.com/threads/d...t-information-questions.3844688/post-64912646

Most WDW resorts start 4 to 9 months in advance of opening date.

Any guess on when resales would start?

As in when the first resale contract would hit the market? I'm pretty sure Riviera's first resale contract was on sale before the resort even opened. That person definitely took a loss lol.
