I like what they have done here, with the style and theming. As an owner at Bay Lake Tower, I have heard a common critique that the Studio kitchenette is a "waste of space" and that the wall should be removed to open it up and create more space. Until now, I have disagreed but seeing the Studio portion here has changed my mind. I, also, like the addition of the dishwasher in the Studio (real plates, yay!) and hope for the same for BLT during the refurb.
Have to say, probably the most theming and personality I've seen in the new DVC rooms. They're usually fairly sterile and corporate, but here I can see some thought and work went into the design. Quite beautiful. A bit more color would be nice... Maybe a runner on the bed or a colored sheet? Seriously hard to beat that view across Seven Seas Lagoon...
Hi thank you for doing the video. That looks like a possible lock off. Do you know what the dedicated two bedrooms might look like? Again thank you for a visual for all to see.
I like the look of the slide-in range, having one myself. But now with a toddler (and likely thousands of them in these rooms), the accessible controls are turning to be somewhat stressful...
The thumbnail looks a lot like The Contemporary. Curved sofa, small tallish oval table. Throw a Frozone and Edna in there and and you wouldn't know the difference.
DVCFan - you missed a step in your QA/QC. The edit is messed up - this video repeats itself and skips content/transitions between styles. Love these rooms from what I can see!
Looks functional, clean and modern, but it does not look like a Polynesian resort. Very little Polynesian theming. Very little Disney theming. May as well be a Marriot.
The rooms are beautiful, and, if you are inside your room, you don't have to look at the heinous outside that ruins the whole ambiance of the Poly. The monorail line at the Poly was already a huge issue - now with all the new rooms, I hope they have planned somehow for the influx of 2x the guests. And, so much for ever getting into Trader Sam's. Just a horrible idea all around to build this monstrosity.
Im sorry but this is more boring architecture and interior design from a company who cares nothing about attention to detail, theming, and/or immersion into a space. The Polynesian Resort is based off of South Seas Style architecture, which consists of long houses, and tiki/dark wood and dark colors in design and architecture. Everything in these rooms is easily spotted as fake, because all of the wood grain patterns are too perfect. Natural wood designs carry a lot of inconsistencies that make each piece unique. These rooms look like something you would find in a nice Hilton. If Disney wanted to add more DVC rooms, they should have studied the original designs of the Polynesian and there was originally supposed to be a tower instead of long houses. They could have built a octagonal tower to match the architecture of the buildings around it and placed the Luau dinner show in the center, complete with a replica of the old waterfall that used to be in the original lobby.
This is probably one of the worst executed themed buildings in Disney World, inside and out. It’s such an eyesore in the skyline between the Polynesian and the Grand Floridian.
Hi there! Thank you for your feedback. This is a model room and there are other guest viewing it at the same time as well as DVC Guides in the room. In order to respect their privacy to not end up in our film, the cut away shots are the best way to get this info out to you. Once the tower opens (we have several rooms opening night), we will have more flexibility for in depth walk throughs.
@rjciii3581- tell us you know nothing about how this works without telling us. 😂 DVC Fan- appreciate your effort to ensure you got the best footage possible of the model rooms. Thanks for the great work. Trolls will always be trolls.
This one is gunna hurt the wallet... Beautiful!

I think these rooms may be the most beautifully themed on property!
Love the bathrooms
Stunning. They did a beautiful job 👏
I'd buy in!
Stunning, really
Beautiful and I love the view!
Absolutely love it.
Beautiful.
In the studio footage, it looks like the kitchenette is right next to the Murphy bed...which may make mornings challenging for a late sleeper...

Beautiful, the colors are perfect.
Very Nice!
Sweet
Will the tower have it's own road entrance?
Can't wait to book my first tower stay!

They've done a great job with all the Ikea furnishings!
Love the design, but they look a bit in the small side when compared to Riviera. Granted that could just be how they were filmed.
like the design of the rooms

Welcome to the Marriott at Disney. Generic conference center themed rooms with no sense of imagination or anything to do with south seas experience.
Sad beige 😢
This is probably one of the worst executed themed buildings in Disney World, inside and out. It’s such an eyesore in the skyline between the Polynesian and the Grand Floridian.
Was there a sale on beige? Boring looking. I'm surprised the room was fairly bland. I don't want neon colors but sterility is for hospital rooms.
It’s like they were told to use all of the browns at the paint store.
So much brown. Who are their designers? 😬
I don't care for the light brown on brown and beige tones. It's just too much , looks flat.
Terrible video. Instead of cutaway shots would’ve been nice to see an actual walkthrough
