Oh I love the hallway carpet and colour scheme. I wish that the Moana theme had been extended to the DVC villas 🙁, but am excited about the Murphy beds 👍 Thanks for a great video.
Wish we would have had this room a month ago when we stayed in a Polynesian deluxe studio. The biggest improvement is probably the Murphy bed, but right behind that is the brighter colors on the walls. The old red/brown rooms felt so dark even with all of the lights turned on and the curtains open. This is a huge improvement for these rooms!
We just stayed in this room in Moorea 3rd floor water view October 2023!! It was our 1st time at Poly & I will always want to stay there now😊 The colors are beautiful & so happy they kept Lilo & Stitch ❤ Thank u for the video & what a great experience! I’m researching buying DVC!
The Murphy beds are the best add to all these studios. We use them for a week at a time and they are substantially cleaner and more comfortable. Plus easy to actually setup. Big thumbs up.
Thanks so much for this review. We have stayed at the Poly many times and as recent as June. We brought our son, daughter-in-law, and teen granddaughter. I wish now that the refreshing had taken place before our trip because seeing it through their eyes it did look rundown and I agree with Paul that the rooms had gotten dingy. The white walls and beautiful blue multi colored carpet help to brighten it up but I wonder how long they will stay looking refreshed! I feel that all the "neutral" coloring Disney is implementing in the resorts make the rooms look sterile and more like any other hotel room. Just my humble opinion. Looking forward to your Boardwalk Villas review!
Thank you so much for your detailed video! It was really nice with so many details. I personally dislike the new aesthetic (especially the carpet), but glad they didn't do them Moana as well.
I can’t wait to stay here next February!!! I’m excited for the murphy bed and I’m so glad the halls got the lift too! The walls in the room look a bit stark to me but I’m sure it is gorgeous in person. I didn’t think I’d have a big issue with the pumps in the villas, but after a recent stay at the Riviera when our big shower was out of body wash when we arrived and it was never refilled (and we did call and ask!), I’m less than thrilled to see the change at my home resort.
Great -you both did a nice job with this video - and thanks. I stayed at the Poly - but that Ferry horn every 15 minutes drove me nuts. Trying to relax in your room was impossible. I stayed for 1 week there....but next time I will not take a lake view.
Hi Amy and Paul, great review my family and I will be staying in one of these rooms in about 18 days. Hopefully you can answer a couple of question for us. I know the room will fit five adults and it might be a little tight but it’s only for 2 nights. My question is now that they just did a refurbishment does the room have a smell with the new rugs and with the single bed in your opinion will it hold a large adult?
Anyone know why Poly and now GFV are being put ahead of the Boulder Ridge Villas? They were slated to be redone and keep being pushed aside! DVC show some love to BRV owners. they are in dire need and now shoved aside yet again. Thanks for this Poly review.
why were poly DVC rooms upgraded before working on BLT, which is in really terrible shape and definitely could use those murphy beds (the pullout beds at BLT are beyond disgusting at this point - totally filthy and worn out).

I think the theme of the refurbishment improves the look of the rooms. I like the blue over the orange. Thanks for sharing!

It's a pleasure to watch your videos
Nice update! I've never wanted to stay there b/c I thought the rooms looked "dingy" as Paul said but now, I would like to stay there. :)
Amy is awesome! Love seeing her in the videos!

You guys are a great couple very cute good job hope you guys do more room room reviews
Love the murphy bed! Def a step up from the pull out :) Great video thanks
Looks lovely. It's fresh, brighter and crisp. I hope to be able to grab one someday. I have been wanting to stay at the Poly since it opened.
Great job Amy, Thanks
Wow...looks amazing! Love the hallway carpeting and the artwork in the bathroom.

Rooms look great! Thank you guys for giving us this update.
Thanks for a great tour Amy and Paul
Nice update! Before I did not care for them. Now I want to stay there!
I think it looks great. Thanks!
I always thought these rooms were dark. So glad to see the lighter colors. I really like the room!
Loved it, glad they kept it different then the hotel rooms
Great review! So happy about the Murphy bed!!
Love it. We've only stayed at Poly once, but can't wait to stay again!
Thank you so much for your detailed video! It was really nice with so many details. I personally dislike the new aesthetic (especially the carpet), but glad they didn't do them Moana as well.
Yea, i'm going to need to find a way to stay in one of these!

Thanks! Love these!! You both are great!
Looks pretty good!
Looks nice! So glad we were able to score one of these rooms for our trip in 2022.
Thank you. We are staying there next month. Fingers crossed we get the new room and not the old one. I was dreading the couch bed.
Rooms look great! Would love to make Poly my DVC home one day.
Great -you both did a nice job with this video - and thanks. I stayed at the Poly - but that Ferry horn every 15 minutes drove me nuts. Trying to relax in your room was impossible. I stayed for 1 week there....but next time I will not take a lake view.
My first thought when I saw this video is that the room and hallway look brighter than they used to.
great review! Are the Murphy beds comfortable??
Great video! Any idea when the refurbishment is scheduled to be completed??
We just booked for Oct 2022. Will all the studios be updated by then?
I know this video is a year or so old but I have to know where you got those sandles!
They are Crocs!!! Lol I think Amazon, but Croc brand, I have a reddish pair too.
@amykrieger4957 no way, I would have never guessed! They look super comfy, I'm gonna have to go on the hunt for them. Thank you!

Do they have a expected competition date for all the DVC rooms?
They are moving fast. Moorea reopened today. Only one longhouse that was closed last week to go. Should all be done by the 50th!

no Moana theming! Yay!!!
Please cover the story of Bill Diercksen replacing Terri Schultz. Why did it happen? What will be the impact?
She needs a mic like on moving to Orlando. Other than that great video! 🙂

Who the hell is Lelu?!
