    I am so excited. I cannot see one thing to complain about. I love the soft soothing colors and the Moana theming. And the dishwasher….nice touch! Can’t wait to stay there since we own the bulk of our points there direct.

    they seem….cramped? I feel like some weird choices were made, especially with the studio, but that may be because I’m spoiled by how spacious the OG Poly studios are.

    They are absolutely beautiful. Don’t listen to the negative. Some just like to complain. These rooms are nothing but spectacular!! Can not wait to stay here in the future. Just hope the points will not be out of reach.

    Do the Deluxe Studios not have bathtubs? The video implies it has only a shower?!?

    I am adding a stay at this new resort to my bucket list! It looks amazing! I love the natural wood tones and the overall color scheme. It all looks very relaxing and high end. Disney got it right!!

    The deluxe studio seems very small. I definitely would prefer a better table and 2 chairs as opposed to that tiny round one!
