Not quite understanding the layout -- wouldn't near the lobby or near elevator do the same thing?
When we were at WDW over Thanksgiving, we got a nice view of Riviera from the Skyliner and it looks awesome. I love the location, and would consider adding it as our third home (Poly, Aulani), but have been looking for information about the number of different Tower Studios, Deluxe Studios, 1Br, 2Br, GV, etc. Does anyone have that info? Looking at the points charts, I'd want to know what availability is like. I'd love to have a contract here and one day at AKL.
pulled this from another thread. "According to people who have read the filings, looks 341 villas: 12 GVs, 148 2BR lock-offs, 90 dedicated 2BRs, 29 dedicated 1BRs, 38 dedicated studios, and 24 Tower Studios. View breakdown is not known as yet."

Defiantly one stop on the bus situation. For the tower beds we will use them for one to three nights max. Rather be in a real bed in a studio for those week long tripsanother tower 2 person room question: do you guys think the pull down bed will be comfortable for 4-5 nights? vs. a regular bed?
And do you think the bus will be one stop or internal many stops?

They did use the murphy bed but another reason why we don't want the tower on long trips is due to use collecting a lot of gifts and even in a 1BR in Kidani we were starting to run out of spaceMy understanding is that they used the murphy beds instead of the fold-out couch so the mattress could be the same (or at least a real bed). I wouldn't dismiss the murphy bed as "uncomfortable" out of hand.
The pull-down beds are essentially platform beds, the same as they're installing at SSR now, and people have found them very comfortable. Pop Century also has the same type of fold-down beds, with one regular bed and one fold-down in the room; the mattresses are identical as proven by photographs of the mattress tags, and people like them very much. It's possible the mattresses are different between Pop and the DVC resorts, but the point is that the mattress on the regular bed in a regular studio and the mattress on the fold-down bed in the studio (Tower or regular) will be the same mattress.do you guys think the pull down bed will be comfortable for 4-5 nights? vs. a regular bed?
I don't think you'll have an issue with those as preferred view ones really open up at the end of April on the DVC siteI'm looking forward to seeing photos/videos of dedicated two bedrooms. That's what I hope to score next trip.
