I didn't realize I had it until you posted. I went back to check my photos and found it. That shot is now my desktop. . .it really is nice--and was nice that morning. I believe Ron and I got up very early that a.m., got coffee and headed outside. It was our sleep in morning (at least for the teens). We had a "dedicated swim day" and our day was spent at the quiet pool.

Here's a family shot of that a.m.

I love this shot. It has such a mood to it, like it was raining or about to rain. Living in SoCal, I actually dig a good thunderstorm at WDW. All the ions in the air and the excitement of running for cover! The liquid sunshine rain is awesome too. As long as it doesn't last too long, I'm lovin' it.

That was taken from room #3502 in the Hawaii (concierge) building. I would imagine that similar views would be seen from the Tahiti building as well because it's alongside the Hawaii building, facing the same direction, just more to the right (as you face the castle). :) You would have to specifically book a "Magic Kingdom view" room so you'd guarantee the view. Otherwise, with the garden views, your view will vary.

I still don't have my tour plans ready.....some shopping still to do, etc....just looking at these pics calms me down.

I promise to take a bunch of pics...can't promise they will be anything near as beautiful as the ones here so far....I got a new Rebel xTi for Christmas and haven't had any time to really play with it.

I have a 2BG and a 1GB card....hope thats enough!

What quality pics (large, medium, small are the options on my camera) do you recommend for pics to be posted or sent online....vs printing?

DisneyTracey, it is just a quiet pool. A regular pool with no theming or slides. It isn't as large as the Volcano Pool, which gets very crowded, so I imagine the quiet pool will be packed during the refurb to the main pool. I am just finishing up my trip when the Volcano Pool shuts down. Since I am there without kids most of the time, my husb and I spend all of our time at the quiet pool. I'm glad I'll be gone before that quiet pool gets too busy.

Try it on Friday. When he gets alot of hits in one month and exceeds his allowable limit set by his website provider it gets shut down for the rest of the month. It usually comes back up when a new month starts.

This has happened in the past at the end of some months.

Hello, Poly experts!!

I know I just posted the last post, but I had another question.

I noticed that the pics w/ of the beach with lounge chairs, hammocks, tents (what are they called) are usually rather empty.

Are there times (of the year or the day) that these areas are packed or is there usually plenty to go around?

There's nothing more that I would want than to just lay on the hammocks and chairs on the beach, but I just envisioned it all being crazy packed!!!

The photos that I have posted of the pool area are ones from Feb. or when it has rained in July. There are times when the chairs are easy to come by, but that really isn't often. I'm afraid my photos may have given a false impression, sorry.

Here's a link to my Polynesian pictures from last July (end of July) http://www.brownfamilyvacations.com/html/polynesianjul2007.htm and here are a few pool pictures from that trip:

Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences and get the rest of us prepared and excited for our own trips! :woohoo:

....We'll be staying at the Poly next Thanksgiving. Thanks for all the great pix to help me decide. As a DLR veteran and SoCal native, this will be only our 2nd trip to WDW and the Poly looks perfect for us. Looks like all the rooms have a great view, too. I'll keep checking this thread for new pix and your ideas for the best room location.

thanks Disney Dad in PA! The pool looks crowded, but not like the pics I've seen of the WL in summer where everyone is standing elbow to elbow! :scared1: Those pics scared the heck out of me about going to WDW in the summer! Both DD and I need our personal space :) Does anyone have any pictures of the quiet pool? I've seen a few, but forgot what they look like :)

Hey everyone,

We are wondering about the slide. In the pictures, the most we have seen is the exit. Does the slide go in the volcano? Or not? What is it like? Does anyone have a picture?

Thanks.

DisneyDad in PA
02-09-2008, 11:52 PM
If you look at the above the waterfall there are people standing in line. The person to the far right is roughly where the entrance to the slide is located. The walkway wraps around the back of the volcano and comes out up there.

In addition to what DisneyDad said, I just wanted to add that the slide does go through the volcano; it's an enclosed slide, sort of like a curvy tube you slide through. Hope this helps :)

That is my DS's favorite place to eat breakfast with their favorite toon. Also, both girls are very pretty. There is just something about the older girl that makes me think she looks like a young Janet Jackson.
I can't wait to see more pics of the Poly to help our December trip seem not so far away.

You know what I haven't seen many pictures of, are nighttime pictures. Does anyone have any good ones of the resort at night? Like the volcano pool, the grounds lit up, the longhouses, the beaches/reflections, etc. That would be awesome :cool1:
