Yeah I had shared the pricing the other day in another thread and whoooooooeeeeeeeeeee!
I was curious that there wasnât at that time info about a regular 2br only the 2br penhouse but at $5K a night folks will have to decide whether to take their family there for a week or buy a small car.
I see the regular ones are priced at $2700ish - so maybe a small used car or a week at the Poly

If I won the lottery tomorrow, I wouldnât pay that price for a room. Craziness.

We did see some much lower priced rentals in this time frame last year, but from memory I believe most, if not all were in the under 3-week time frame.

Have not thought much about it, but I do kinda like more of these DVC rooms coming online. The Cabins & Poly Tower builds will help ease prices across the board for the other DVC options. Let the demand go to the new Poly tower and Iâll enjoy an OKW at sub-$200 per night no problem.

It will for sure - for a little while anyway - make things easier elsewhere.

I wonder if they will have to eventually rebalance the bungalow point values. If âoldâ Poly owners are now able to spend their points on other room types then the bungalows will continue to be less desirable.

This pricing was for opening night. I booked a standard view duo for Jan 30 to Feb 2nd and it average $430 a night after taxes. Apparently there is a DVC discount too.

@JJT itâs just now hitting me that resort name categorization for the new Poly Tower might be annoying. Itâs a separate building from the Poly/Bungalows that already contain other DVC rooms, but right now Iâm just categorizing everything with âPolynesianâ in the resort name as being a part of the Poly and then room type categorizations make things easy to decipher, but when Tower reservations start to show up Iâm expecting poor nomenclature from the rental sites. I think weâd be lucky if any of them use the full name Island Tower at Disneyâs Polynesian Villas & Bungalows for easy sorting, but Iâm expecting most of the sites to just bucket them all into âPolynesianâ which will be very annoying to sort.
Any thoughts on how you might end up handling it with your extracted data? The 2 BR Penthouse is a brand new and exclusive category to this property, so that should be easy to pair up with the Island Tower, but the others might get complicated.

Whoo, I havenât even thought about it yet - usually I see what the sites are actually listing and then try to fit them into a cleaner box.

A SUPER VERY NICE for DisneyLAND folks!
7-night Grand CALIFornian Studio start 6/14 for $338/night or 44% under median
There have only been 3 rentals lower and all were 1-nighters - 2 of them were only $2 lower.
There have only been 10 7-nighters for this room and this one is about $220 less than the next nearest one.

Rather insane 1-night OKW Studio for $187 on 7/28 or 35% under median.
