    Walkway between Polynesian and grand Floridian open?

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone has been very recently and could tell me if the walkway is open? We went in the fall and it was closed, but hoping they’ve reopened it or some version of it by now. We are going next weekend and staying at Polynesian. I’m trying to decide how easy it will be to...

    Tambu Lounge

    I’m wanting to do a semi monorail bar crawl for my birthday in September on a Wednesday. Start at Grand Floridian and end at Polynesian for Tambu Lounge. I really want the noodles, potstickers and bread pudding from Tambu Lounge. Am I crazy to think I’ll find 3 seats around 6:30? And if you sit...

    2-BR Savanna View at AKV-Kidani Village or Somewhere Else?

    We are a family of five and we are taking our first DVC trip in August. Currently, it's a split stay between Poly (home resort) and AKV-Kidani.

    Polynesian roll in shower rooms

    Hi, we’ve booked a standard view DVC room with a roll in shower. I wanted to put in a room request but touring plans shows no roll in shower rooms in any of the DVC buildings (I know that’s not true).

    Current Pool hours?

    Does anyone know the current hours for SAB at YC/BC, or the Lava Pool and/or Kiki's Tiki Splash Pad at Poly? Heading there for a split stay next month and was planning to spend a few mornings by the pool with our 18 mo. old but afraid the pools won't be open as early as I was hoping!

    POLYNESIAN's fantastic pools are NOT ENOUGH

    Will Polynesian ever add another pool? It seems to me the pool capacity is not adequate to handle the resort capacity... anyone else think the same?

    Hi! Does anyone know if there's a running list somewhere of the DVC studios that are fully refurbished with the murphy bed? If not, could we maybe create a running list here of building + room numbers that are confirmed? Or, maybe it's easier to make a list of those currently without it? lol...
