This was our last DVC purchase. The Polynesian has grown on us exponentially over the years. We love the original longhouses and the newer Island Towe
Dumb question, our first stay in the tower is coming up in October. It's just one night before we fly home out of MCO, coming on the back end of five β¦
It has its own parking lot, but with the recent road work it is separated from the main building. Follow signs for the Tower (or be sure to enter the Tower in your gps) and you will be fine. Access to the lot is via your magic band or room key.

Poly owner since Dec 2016! It is our direct and first contract. Since we go with family, we haven't stayed here much because they didn't have more than the studios prior to tower. I will be celebrating my retirement from teaching with a trip with my daughter in September when school heads back. My DH is still working in education so he can't come. We wlll be at the tower. I am excitd to be "home" and to watch fireworks from the viewing areas! We love Poly and find ourselves at Tambu lounge a lot, even when not staying there. My DD loves tonga toast too so a breafast there is typically a must.

We just got back.... didn't stay on property this time b/c we're out of points ( Definitely spoiled getting to stay on property). We did go to Poly for Lunch @ Wailulu which was excellent! That was our first time there and the food was proper delicious. My wife has a gluten sensitivity but all but the ahi tuna nacho appetizer was gluten free or could be made so. The Mai Tai was different than a normal Mai Tai and was excellent. I got the burger and it was great but I think I want to get something more themed next time. My wife got the pork shank - a great choice. Poly is certainly special - enjoy the trip!

I received an email a few days ago for our upcoming trip with instructions on how to enter. I am sure you will get an email. We were told to follow signs for GF and then follow signs to the tower,

During our trip labor day week we toured the models at the poly. Now that there are new reservation restictions we purchaced 2 fixed week contracts . Week 36 a deluxe studio resourt view and week 49 is a deluxe studio theme part view. Now we will have to rent out points at our other home resorts. We just closed yesterday. Now we own SSR/BLT/VDL/PVB

How does the fixed week work? Do they guarantee a room of that type for a given week every year without having to reserve it?

Yes, MS will book the room before the 11 month window, but you would need to purchase the number of points plus a 10% premium. If you don't use the fixed week, you would have all the points available to book like normal. Some CCV FW contacts are actually less points than the current points due to reallocations.

Thank you @NoSuchSol My DD and I had a blast! It will go down as one of my favorite trips. We ate at Wailulu once and sat at the bar area another night waiting for the fireworks. I saw them 4 times, each from a different place on Tower property.
My next trip is a short trip in December to see the decorations at the resorts. We will be in Fl for a wedding and then stopping in for a few days. I can't wait.
I just read through all the posts here. @Watt-man - I hope you were able to get a better quality photo for your gift. I pray for both you and your family. I do agree - that picture is beautiful.
It had been 10 years since staying at the Poly and it was great to be back!
