Amy and I are new Orlando, Florida residents where we live with our dogs Odie the greyhound and Hermès the Spanish galgo. We are DVC owners at Animal Kingdom Lodge, BoardWalk Villas, Grand Californian, Grand Floridian, and Polynesian, Disney World Annual Passholders, and love educating Disney Vacation Club members on how to both use and maximize the value of their DVC points!
My biggest beef with the Polynesian is the lack of 1 bedroom units. My second biggest beef is that DVD built too many bungalows. I would say at least twice as many as should have been built. The things took over Lookout Point! Lagoon Views are spoiled for everything except 3rd floor rooms. Point-wise, the bungalows are more expensive than a grand villa at the Grand Floridian. (Yeow!) I agree with Shawn that points for the bungalows should be rebalanced though I am unsure if DVC CAN raise the price on studios and lower it on bungalows. I recall the member revolt when point charts came out rebalancing between studios and 1 bedrooms. DVC was on firmer footing treating 1 bedroom/studio as a single 2 bedroom lockoff with respect to point allocation. I don’t see that with studios and bungalows. Of course I don’t own at PVB so I don’t know the details of the contract.
