On April 14th, e-mails were sent out to some eligible Disney Vacation Club members to inform them that at 9 AM the queue would open for dates for DVC previews of the new Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction. Many members received the emails after 9 AM and some didn’t get them at all. There were only two dates for members, May 9th and May 18th. Annual Passholders were given more dates for previews, May 8 - 10, May 15-16, and May 18-21. DVC dates were booked in less than hour, while the AP dates lasted a little longer.

Disney has filed the first permit for the new Disney Vacation Club building at Disney’s Polynesian Villas and Bungalows, and there is a layout image showing the location between the Fiji Building at the Polynesian and the wedding pavilion at the Grand Floridian. Though the plans do not provide a lot of detail, it does show the building along the water with a new parking area to the west. On the south side near the existing buildings is both a feature pool and a children’s play area. Not surprisingly, there is no monorail station shown at the new resort, so members will have to walk to the exiting Polynesian station or take the slightly longer walk to the Grand Floridian station.
