For non DVC rooms, it can mean a view of anything from the parking lot, the roof and HVAC units, dumpsters, housekeeping metros, construction, to the garden/grassy areas. They made "resort view" a new category recently, combining the old standard view and garden view rooms together. For some, they get a nice view, others, well...
You will have to reach out to the owner to have them make the request. Or, you can wait until check in and ask then, but you may not want to take that chance.
As above, the DVC owner needs to make that request. If you rented from two different owners, you’ll need to contact each one, give them the other confirmation number, and ask them to chat/email/call MS to request a “continuing stay” notice be placed on each reservation. Then when you arrive for the first one, go to the front desk and ask whether you’re booked for the same room. If not, that’s the best time to fix it! The resort will want to keep you in the same room just as much as you want to stay there - it saves on housekeeping costs. Have a good trip!
Thanks so much everyone!
I heard that they said that was the plan for now but that it could change… just what I heard.
We are resale too! I wasn't getting excited for the new tower under fear that it would have a ton of restrictions, but now I'm super excited for our future trips!
Excited for the tower now. It feels like PVB phase 2, adding the larger accommodations.
They could have easily said that decision hasn't been made yet. Like all things, nothing is over until it's over but this will be a tough genie to get back in the bottle.
From everything I've read, I think it could be a major issue. When we stayed in Moorea, we stopped going to the GCH because the TTC was closer. Unless there are some major (good) surprises related to the transportation options at the tower, I'm not sure we would stay there, if I can even afford to with our measly 220 points. And depending on how crowded the resort gets with the tower guests (and it already feels pretty crowded now), we may be using our Poly points as SAP.
I like the walk to the TTC from the DVC longhouses. If/when the walkway to VGF and then MK open, we might just try that walk from the Tower if we stay there.
Yeah, the tower represents maybe 1000 people (~270 rooms)? I’d be inclined to walk via VGF or boat via friendship boat over monorail from the tower.
DVC Fan ran a story on 1/10. I can't post the link for some reason.
There are signs up that say it’s not available, but the cast members don’t say you can’t use it. One told me there was a way through, but it was a little dangerous
. I didn’t try it as there was a lot of active construction going on.
