True, now people just book it for breakfast and park at poly all day while they’re in the Magic Kingdom.

Wait until you see the "beach" and other waterfront, uh, decor afterthoughts. 😧 And the hanging green things that immediately bring to mind the aesthetics of the interior of an automated car wash combined with a cat tower/cat condo/scratching post. 🧐 Also willing to bet you'll lower your score for the pool after seeing its wonders in person. 😴 And also after visiting the pool area, I imagine you'll also lower your score re: scale/integration with the Poly. 🤢 The feature restaurant is nice though. I called it a long time ago. Walking around the property, the whole place would feel very much at home in Virginia Beach. On the higher end, north side of town, where the Cavalier, Embassy Suites, and Marriott are. In fact, the feeling I got at the Polyday Inn? Gave me a similar vibe as the VB Marriott. Which is a nice hotel I really like and frequent. But not a vibe that I'd ever want at WDW. YMMV. Will be interesting once real reviews start pouring in as opposed to the Sam Chui-style crop of Vloggers running around the place, gushing about what is very, very much non gush-worthy.

I do actually feel better about myself now that you mention it but wanna know what really makes me feel better? Knowing the riff raff from SoG can’t easily walk over to poly anymore 🤣 /s/

Hey! I was exaggerating to make a point on how gym time seems like a weird priority on a Disney trip....but I hope you feel so much better about yourself now that you put me down!

Actually not the best and I think that’s for very structural DVC related reasons. The pricing is gouging, the points chart sucks and new buyers respond to pricing. Riviera actually outsold its first month this October, but to be fair that was a half month of posted new member sales versus wide open RIV. RIV (on sale 27th of the prior month) 59k* / 129k / 114k VGF2 (on sale the 3rd of the month/March 31 new members) 115k / 175k / 100k VDH (on sale the 2nd of the month/30th new members) 145k / 162k / 94k PIT (on sale 1st of the month/29th new members) 73k / 89k / December sales pending *Note 169k of copper creek was also sold in the opening month of RIV, again showing the power of pricing. Now longer term trends will probably tell a different story. Disneyland and Grand Floridian sort of fall down a cliff and Riviera actually was outpacing the lot through the start of the pandemic. I’d expect Poly will medium term do better than Disneyland hotel, but worse than Grand Floridian. I’d actually expect Riviera will be outselling Poly again in a couple months.

Weird leap to “raving lunatic,” but ok - FWIW I hate the look of these tower monstrosities but would be happy to do some strength training in that fitness room.
