Bungalow Room Tour! | Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows

[@JimRothwell-yl3zt]

Just stumbled across this trip down memory lane. Several years ago we arrived a bit early at the Polynesian front desk, to check in for our scheduled stay in a standard studio that we were getting for just a relatively few points per night. The Cast Member behind the counter said, "I think we might have a free upgrade for you", and then got on the phone with someone. While she was on the phone, I told her that I didn't want the upgrade if it meant we weren't going to be on the top floor (I hate it when people are stomping around over my head). She hung up the phone and said "I got you the upgrade -- you've got the bungalow". And I said, "Will we still be on the top floor?" (I was clueless -- I thought she was talking about a regular room or suite named "The Bungalow"). And she seemed upset that I didn't fully appreciate what she was giving me, so she showed me a picture of it, and told me that it was $3000 a night, and that we were getting it for 2 nights -- for our ~$600 a night (cash equivalent) reservation. I don't think I ever believed it until we got the check-out statement & I saw $6000 plus tax on that paper. Once in a lifetime "lottery" win. And yes, it was fabulous...and quiet -- except during the nightly fireworks that we watched from the balcony/deck, with official fireworks music piped in via the deck speakers. Great memories...

I try to keep my bucket list to things that are reasonably attainable. A week in the Poly Bungalos? Never gonna happen.

[@DVCFan]

Shoot for the moon to fall among the stars!

[@kalipassion04]

You can do it just budget like crazy.

[@ashm7922]

For the out of pocket cost of these rooms, you could book and stay in a real bungalow on a beach in Maui. They're beautiful but I would rather just go to the real thing for the money

[@depolignacs]

Well you know how expensive flights to maui are

[@depolignacs]

besides, this room is just for the super rich

[@adamsmith2331]

Though Maui doesnt have 4 world class theme parks on it's porch smh

[@Beachdudeca]

It’s a nice space if your visiting the resort for a few days

[@ScooterWisdom]

It’s actually a bargain for long term DVC members.

[@1DawnMarie1]

I never knew I wanted my house decorated Polynesian style until I saw this tour! The art is so cute.

[@sbk123411]

This is probably the closest I’ll get to the inside of these bungalows. Great video. Gives me a good idea of what I’m missing. 😢

[@kenk910]

These rooms are great! Thanks for taking us to all these higher-end accommodations we can dream about!

[@haleyaddonizio6836]

This was so much fun to tour!!! Our tour guide was incredible!

[@brianjohnstone5187]

How about you, Poly Bungalow or the Cabin ?

[@champmeister]

I miss Fiasco, he was awesome

[@las6766]

It's that ferry whistle that will drive you nuts. I stayed there before the bungalows were constructed. I stayed facing the water - and was kept up until the late hours with that blowing of the ferry whistle every 15 minutes.... lots of $$$ - and little sleep. It is gorgeous - but I need my sleep...... But thanks for the video - loved it.

[@jeanstackpoole9233]

There may be noise cancelling now, but I stayed in that bungalow and could even hear the boat whistle through ear plugs! Watching the fireworks was fabulous and the sound track was

[@las6766]

OMGOSH - tha't exactly what happened to me. I saved my money and stayed there one year - and that ferry whistle kept me up 1/2 the night. I think it ran until 1 am....it was a nightmare. Never again ....

[@ctrabada]

Same here. Stayed there once and the boat noise was annoying. If you think you'll be able to lie down in the lounge chairs outside and take a nap... Forget it. We prefer the Cascade cabins. But watching the fireworks was amazing. And we loved the plunge pool. The hot tub in the Cascade cabins is too hot when you want to cool off on a hot day after the parks.

[@hadleycontractor496]

I stayed a night may2021. You can hear the boats It’s not bad tho The view is amazing- at the cost of the other parts of the resort. All the 1st floor 2nd and prob 3rd floor hotel rooms (water view) view are blocked as is most of the beach view. They kind of ruined that one The room was very nice. But too expensive

[@michaelmcdonald2011]

I don't know if I would want to stay in one of those. I would be too conflicted between just staying there and going to the parks.

[@knik7029]

Thanks so much for giving us a peek into these amazing rooms❤️

[@Axnee_]

Thank you for the amazing tour! I’m trying to plan an October trip there for the first time and really want to try and stay in one of these bungalows. Looks so fun.

[@chrise8541]

Great tour, brings back memories of our stay in a Bungalow a few years back.

[@stacey1994]

I didn’t do the exact math, but at a quick glance you would need over 19,000 points to stay for a year. 🤯😎🌴. I wouldn’t stay there for a day, too many points for me. I’m about more stay annually and don’t need the space.

[@builderphil13]

You are correct, you would need over 19,000 points to stay for a year. About another 40,000 points over. lol

[@donnadonnyy]

I think we all could live there :)

[@KyleDavisMusic]

In the bathroom?

[@mugglescakesniffer3943]

Can you stay all year? I thought max was 1 month.

[@larryg3038]

Excellent tour as usual. One small request is to spend just a bit more time showing the common areas (living room, dining, kitchen) and show available seating, food prep/coffee areas, and sleeping areas in the common spaces. Thanks for all of the video tours. It would also be nice to see the walk to the main lobby/restaurants/pool from the suites you tour at each resort. Or at least mention if it’s a 5 minute walk or a real hike to and from the lobby. Thanks again. Looking forward to future videos of Grand Villas at each DVC resort.

[@adamsmith2331]

Great video thx! Can someone simply rent these out if not a DVC member? If so, what is the cheapest rate per night? thx!

[@safuwanfauzi5014]

Roof of the resort using "Maneaba Kiribati traditional architecure" or Maneapa Tuvalu architecture. Polynesia Humu Pohaku stonework in foundation, floor and paving with Polynesia ornament and decoration need to be add to the resort, Its nice if Samoa and Tonga Fale, Fiji Bure and Hawaii Hale" too.

[@jackylsmith8138]

Fiasco, the Bungalows are nice, but way too many points. You would need over 52,000 points to stay there all year, DVC allows a two people to own only 8,000 points. But since they cost so many points, they are always open and Disney rents them for cash.

[@kenk910]

I had no idea there was a cap on ownership!

[@RAID5_Aesthetic]

You need about 5 times the points per night vs the studios. So if you have enough for 1 week bungalow you have 5 weeks studio and that's a nice flex.

[@polemius01]

I really enjoy these room tours! Thanks!

[@Beachdudeca]

It’s a nice space if visiting Disney World

[@dee_mcgee11]

I could definitely live there!

[@johnlanier3616]

I'm not a fan of Disney but that place is awesome

[@ToddRileyRealEstate]

I miss Fiasco as well. I hope he is doing well.

[@wolfstriker9619]

My Home resort and where were staying this year for christmas!

[@jonny5777]

I wonder how many points or dollars it would be to stay there for a week?

[@sharonrosen8613]

At about $1000 per night, not within reach of most families. Very nice place. Good video.

[@Andrew3455]

1000 per night🤣🤣🤣 Try 3500 per night! 1000 will not usually get you standard club level..

[@robertstivala6344]

Great job Cory love the Bungalow tour. Not sure sure which camera lens on the iPhone you used from 1:40 minutes in until you switched lenses in the hallways at 4:51 it was super grainy and bad motion blur I'm guessing that was the wide lens? Looked so much better once you switched, just giving you a heads up, anyway keep up the good work loving these room tour vids!!

[@ShortyShazzy]

New subscriber here and I must say of all the other Disney channels I like yours best. No nonsense no muck around content, looking forward to watching more. Thumbs up from Australia

[@shellyrogers5609]

Another KZbinr stayed in that bungalow two years ago and said it was very noisy (and they were awakened very early by the boats). I call BS on the noise cancelling sliding doors unless they’ve done a ton of noise proofing in the last year or so. ☹️ P S I really love these room tour videos!!

[@las6766]

agree with you - I stayed in the rooms facing the water - (and it was a nightmare) loud whistle every 15 minutes. Hardly slept at all - those ferries started early in the AM ...and went late into the PM.... awful .... I'm out.

[@babyjaylahstar2535]

@@las6766 how far is the walk from the bungalows to the monorail ?

[@adamsmith2331]

@@babyjaylahstar2535 Around 5 minutes. Or 10 minute walk to Magic Kingdom.

[@coolbabe4940]

She is big. Great video! Truly my husband wouldn’t look at my if I allowed to let myself go.

[@edstrong597]

Love the DIS keep up the good work ! Are they going to get a Moana makeover? Thanks for the video, can’t wait to see your next one.

[@MainStreetMcgreevys]

It’s 53,739 points 😅

[@heatherrobinson4942]

Renting points $20pp is over $1mil for the year. Oof! Challenge: Stay in a Bungalow free for a year by buying underpriced loaded resale contracts, using all available points and reselling at original cost lol

[@bettyannerisley943]

Just awesome!!!

[@Jeannie6801]

Where is the toilet ? In that master bedroom?

[@ryankoehler3170]

The cost to stay in these is unreasonably ridiculous.

[@chrisb3976]

That bungalow is insane. Disney doesnt screw around :D

[@chevyj655]

You Misspelled Village

[@ckalnicki]

Ya no. Alligators ? What’s the use of a beach?

[@damedechatfou3832]

Can I live there?

[@jingleplayz8668]

Which specific bungalow was this ??

[@frankortolano5886]

2 thousand dollars per nite,,,it should be nice

[@hashtagheadies6594]

someone loan me 2k a night for a week

[@las6766]

sorry - no can do.....lol My monthly rent isn't 2K ..... Is there any room worth 2K a night?? ridiculous

[@ronaldwalker3902]

I am very sorry to say I am not impressed at all yes I am very blessed to go anywhere in the world but this will never be on the bucket list

[@Robbieshs]

please share with me the purpose of you and your lady friend wearing your masks when no one is around you in your videos

[@DVCFan]

There was a tour guide with us and it’s Disney’s policy so we gotta follow that
