More information here as well.

Looks like cash booking only… not points bookings.

Also no GVs??

That lobby reminds me of every other hotel I have stayed in.. off site

Doesn't really feel Disney at all

No regular studios it looks like either. Just duo.

Doesn't say what they are going to have just says some examples of rooms.

I wonder if the full building won’t be open by December but will be rolling out portions because they need to finish other parts

No the tweet said duo studios and deluxe studios

I mean they named every other room type, besides studio. Unless I am missing something

If true, I guess that answers the question of how competitive studio bookings will be!

Honestly, it's probably the right thing to do in terms of overall resort balance.

But at the same time, if that was always the plan, how could they ever have considered making it a different association? If this was a no-studios tower, because the PVB resort was already loaded with Studios, then that decision was made as soon as they started building. Right?

Doesn't it say duo studios AND deluxe studios or am I off my meds again?

Ah, that wasn't in the Disney park article. Thanks. Won't trust until Disney actually says it

Scott Gustin's tweet listed both, but the material published by Disney doesn't?

It's all speculation still lol

Yeah weird. His second tweet said
"
The 10-story tower will feature duo studios, deluxe studios, one-bedroom villas, two-bedroom villas, and new two-bedroom penthouse villas.

Disney says Disney Vacation Club members "will be able to make points-based reservations at a later date."

Honesty I would trust Scott's info over Disney at this point. He is always on the money

Yeah disney patk blog didn't mention them.

Island Tower is a pretty lame name.

 

[0FF TO NEVERLAND]

I guess they really just don't want to make these new DVC feel super unique. I love being transported somewhere new when I visit Disney.

That is a nice lobby but it doesn't feel Disney at all, and honestly, does anybody actually feel transformed to Hawaii by the looks of that place?

Yeah pretty much every name in our Nami g thread was better, even the joke ones

Let's not rule out the possibility that those large cutouts are literal, Dr. Strange-style magical portals that transport you instantly to Aulani.

I vote that we all unofficially refer to it as "Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa Tower" in perpetuity.

It looks quite nice to me. Still put out by how unbalanced the resort is. I’d be motivated by Duo Studios then 2 Bedrooms… which feels like it’s going to be a fools game.

Do duo studios fixed weeks exist at VDH?
