Calling all Sept 2010 Poly DISers!! UPDATED VISITOR LIST PAGE 4, POST 50

[disneymagicgirl]

I saw a few threads started by folks on the very friendly POLY FAQ thread that were just like this, but none yet for September. So...Here it is!

If you'd like, share your dates, room requests, plans...whatever you like.:goodvibes

Lets all count down together!!:wizard:


My family is arriving at the Hilton DTD on 9/18 and attending MNSSHP that night. We check into Poly on the 19th-26th. We are GV, only request was a balcony. Hoping for :wizard: on my building assignment.

UPDATED VISITOR LIST PAGE 4, POST 50

[NUguyinCrew]

We are there from the 11th to the 19th. This will be our first time staying at the Poly and cant wait!! I am really looking forward to taking pictures of Wishes from the beach with my new DSLR....of course I cant wait for all the other ambiance of the Poly too!

[momtobrynncess]

We will be there from the 23rd to the 30th! This is our 3rd time at Poly - we LOVE it - it's our new fav!! We have requested Raratonga, to be closer to GCH/monorail/busses.

We will be doing MNSSHP too! Our 2nd time for this party - it's our fav too!

[princessreilly]

We will be there Sept. 27th-Oct. 3rd. Haven't made a request yet! Doing MNSSHP on Oct. 1st!! Thanks for this thread!! I can't wait to see who else is going in September. :)

[sahummel]

We'll be there from 9/11 to 9/18. Staying CL for the first time! Celebrating a first wedding anniversary and two first timers to WDW!

[disneymagicgirl]

:confused3I have our entire trip planned out with ADRs and everything, and I have for quite some time.
Today, DH says we may need to push it back b/c his boss is going on maternity leave for 3 months starting July and they want him to take over her job to see if he may be interested in a promotion. This happens to also be the busiest time of the year for his company. UGGHH!
So he suggested October, but I think if we have to push it back we should wait until early December. I am all about low crowds and value season!
The only good thing is that I have the 40% PIN thur Dec 16.
Keep your fingers crossed that we are still Sept Poly Disers!

[codymom]

FIRST TIME POLY STAY!! GARDEN VIEW CLUB LEVEL!!
We are going September 5th - September 11th
:banana::banana:

[vinotinto]

We're first-timers too.

Sept 18 - 26.

GV room.

Thinking about requesting balcony. That way, when kiddos go to sleep, we'll sit in the hot and humid FL weather and sweat and relax. :lmao:

I just hope our trip does not need to get cancelled. My DH has 3 partners and 2 of them are leaving in July- August and the third one is already completely flaking out. I'm very excited about this trip. I have all my ADRs, I have my schedule, my plans and I know I will just be really disapointed if we have to cancel.

We are there the same time as you, only the 19-25th. We also may have to postpone b/c of DH's job. Geesh- these men and their work obligations!:confused3

We can feel each other's pain! :scared:

On the positive side, if we do make it, I'll probably appreciate it more because of the ongoing threat of cancellation/postponement.

I hope we can hang out at the volcano pool, drink some Lapu Lapus and watch the fireworks from the :beach: THIS SEPTEMBER!

[bluejasmine]

Our first trip to the Poly GV CL for our 2nd anniversary Sept 11th-18th Arriving night before staying at Best Western Downtown Disney..2nd Anniversary with lots of new ADRs such as Kona, Calli Grill, Narcossee, Tonys, Ohana, Le Cellier, Sci Fi, Trex all thrown in..maybe Kona Sushi, and Jiko and a defanite monorail crawl!!

[disneymagicgirl]

Our first trip GV Sept 11th-18th requested King bed and building closer to GCH thinking about asking for Fiji building.. Arriving night before staying at Best Western Downtown Disney..2nd Anniversary with lots of new ADRs such as Cali Grill, Narcossee, Afternoon Tea with Tonys, Ohana, Le Cellier all thrown in..maybe Kona Sushi

I didn't know there are king beds. Good info! I will add that to our ressie. Looks like we will be passing each other on I-95...we will be heading down the day you will be driving home. Small world!
I have eaten at Cali Grill and O'Hana. Both are good. Kona is great too...hope you give it a try! It is actual one of our favorites.

[tpholland]

[Tinkerbellie16]

We are there the same week:thumbsup2

[Tinkerbellie16]

Yeah!!! I've NEVER gone to Disney in September before. I went in July for the longest time due to all the kiddos (meaning ME or my brothers/sisters/nieces/etc.) being in school. Then when I had my kids, we went once in July and my children and husband were so miserable that we went in April/May after that. We love that time frame but this year, we had friends that wanted to go and we all settled on September. I know it is hotter & more humid than April/May but I'm hoping that the parks aren't as full as July so it might be more tolerable. Or we'll just be sipping pina colavas by the pool all day :)

I have been twice in Sept and the rides were all walk on. No crowds whatsoever!:thumbsup2 That is why we are sticking with it, not to mention it is value season.:goodvibes

[Tinkerbellie16]

I like that!!!

[jdd]

Joining in - just switched us to the Poly for the second half of our Aug/Sept stay :cool1: We'll be there 8/31-9/4. We were originally booked at Bay Lake Tower, but I started looking at pics of the Poly and just couldn't help myself - it looks so beautiful!!!

We booked GV CL (since we were planning to have a kitchen at BLT, I figured we'll need the extra food, and now I won't have to cook it :rolleyes1)

I'm so excited- we've never stayed at a monorail resort before, and never stayed club level - I'm afraid we're going to get spoiled :goodvibes

Oops, need to go change my ticker.....

[jdd]

I'm hoping for that!! Although we'll be there the week before Labor Day, so I'm guessing it'll be a bit more crowded. Hopefully most kids will already be back in school though. We're starting after Labor Day this year, but only because our middle schools are under construction.

We also wanted to try out BLT because I've been wanting to check out the 1 BDR villas and I like the idea of being at a monorail resort. But I couldn't find any availability with the room discount being offered during the time we wanted. I am secretly happy because I LOVE the grounds at the Poly and have never liked the theme (is there one?) at the Contemporary. But I'm still willing to try BLT, don't get me wrong! :goodvibes

That's pretty much what happened to us. We could get a 1-br lake view at BLT, but my main reason for wanting to stay there was the MK view, and I couldn't get an MK view room!! I'm not a big fan of the CR theming - and they certainly don't have the lush, tropical grounds, so I'm thrilled about the switch. Someday I do want to book BLT theme park view, though, and watch Wishes from my balcony :wizard:

I couldn't get any availability in a 1 bedroom at BLT or BCV using our 40% PIN either. I was flexible too...the whole month of September!:confused3

Well, I just cancelled mine for 8/31-9/4, so if those dates work for you, you should be able to get it now!! It was lake view, not theme park view, so it just depends on what you want....

Too funny! But I'll be there 9/18 - 9/25. It's ok though because I really do love the Poly. At this point I hope nothing does open up for 1 BDR at BLT for 40% off because then it will raise the question if we should switch...and I don't want to :rolleyes1

Ha ha - I know just what you mean! I'm not even going to look to see if any theme park view rooms open at BLT now, because I'll wonder if I should switch back!!

[Tinkerbellie16]

I had a dream that Poly introduced 1 BDR villas :scared1:
I wish....

I read on another thread that the only king beds at the Poly are in the club level suits so I'd double check on that if I were you so you won't be disappointed if you don't get a king when you get there!

[Tinkerbellie16]

I read on another thread that the only king beds at the Poly are in the club level suits so I'd double check on that if I were you so you won't be disappointed if you don't get a king when you get there!

That's correct. Poly is 2 queens, no kings unless you book a suite.

And just an interesting note, but I travel a bit (mostly for business but sometimes for pleasure!) and the hotels that are being built are making the rooms with king beds SMALLER. And they put only showers in with the King beds because business MEN are the ones to stay in a king and families stay in a 2 queen/double room. So they don't take into account that a woman needs a place to put her foot (when she shaves). So I've switched over to 2 queens even when I travel by myself now!!! Bigger rooms and a spot to put my darn leg! Ok, rant over :goodvibes

[OswaldRabbit]

Sept 1 - 10. First time at Poly!

[Tinkerbellie16]

Sept 1 - 10. First time at Poly!

Yeah! You'll love it!

[disneymagicgirl]

So I am the OP, but I am now a Oct Poly DISer due to DH's job commitments. :headache:
Hope you Sept folks have a great time...and think of me while I am waiting an extra month!:sad2:

[Diznotyzed]

We'll be there 9/11 - 9/19! No red eye this time!

[eeyore29]

We'll be at POLY for the first time 9/18-9/25 (GV room). We've stayed at all the Values Resorts & the Beach Club in the past. Now that we have a little princess going for her first trip, I'm looking forward to the transportation options; I'm excited that we'll only have to ride a bus for 1/2 the parks. I'm trying to decide now if I should try to request a specific longhouse or leave it up to the Tiki gods.

Here's where we plan to eat: Whispering Canyon Cafe, Akershus, Cape May Cafe, Chef Mickey's, Coral Reef, Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater, and Tony's Town Square. We've eaten at most of them already, but 2 of them are new for us: Tony's for lunch & Chef Mickey's for dinner (already had breakfast there). I tried to limit the character meals since we don't know how DD will react.

This will be our first trip with DD; she'll be 13 months when we go. We're planning to have her first haircut at the MK barber-shop while we're there so I'm really looking forward to that, too. I'm excited and nervous about travelling with the baby, not sure how easy/hard it will be or how she'll behave. We're flying Southwest, so the good thing is we can check 4 bags for free, and with the way I pack I'm sure we'll need them! Now we just gotta wait 2 more months!

P.S. I'm looking for anyone who has room for 1 more on a fishing excursion during this time. DH really wants to go & I'd love for him to be able to go, too. It'd be my late Father's Day & Anniversary gift to him! :goodvibes Thanks!

We'll be at the Poly at the same time!!

Make sure to visit the Poly thread as well for information on the resort and longhouses. And check tikiman's website for great info on the longhouses and the rooms in each longhouse.

I would suggest making a room request (if you want) 4 to 10 days prior to your arrival. Not all rooms at the Poly have a balcony/patio so if that is important to you - request that! And of course, there are many beloved longhouses but it all depends on your preferences. If you really don't have a preference, then don't request it!

I can't help you on the fishing excursion question but I have read good reviews of it on allears and was tempted to plan one for our group as well - it sounds fun for those of us that fish!

[kdunkle904]

Cant wait! 51 days til check in!!

[Missoutandabout]

Just found everyone hiding in this thread. ;)

I'm so excited about our upcoming trip, I've been having trouble getting to sleep at night! :surfweb:

We'll be staying at Poly for the first time from Sept. 19th - 23rd. First time at Poly and first time doing anything Disney for my hubby and our 3 year old. princess:

I've already started with the "naughty girls aren't allowed at Disney, so you'd best be extra special good' :scared1:

Looking forward to checking in already. :goodvibes

[TheNewMrsB]

Yay! Fun thread!

We'll be there September 18 - 24. This will be our third CL Poly September trip in 3 years and as a previous poster already mentioned, the crowds are amazingly light (not nonexistent, of course!) - so much easier to enjoy all the fun!

Here's where we're scheduled to eat:

Narcoossee's
California Grill
Artist Point
Flying Fish
Yachtsman's
Kona (we're trying for Ohana, maybe the CL CM's can help us out...either way we love Kona at any time of day!)
Coral Reef (lunch)
Ohana (breakfast)

And clearly I'll be getting my Tonga Toast immediately upon check-in!

CAN'T WAIT!!! Seems like lots of y'all will be there at the same time! :cool1:

[Tinkerbellie16]

So we should all be paying our trip off (45 day mark and all) soon...if not already. How exciting is that??? OK, maybe not the 'bye bye money' part, but the 45 day mark??? :banana:

Summer has been flying by with so much travel and things to do for the kids that time is cruising. Hopefully when we are at the Poly, it will be slow going :laughing:

And for those that will be there during the same time, I'd love to say hello! We'll be at the pool everyday (I know I've told y'all this before on the Poly thread but it seems more appropriate here). Me and DH hunt for a table because we like to sit, talk, eat, drink, etc. while the kids swim. If you see us, please feel free to sit with us! We'll be there 9/18 - 9/25. I can't wait!!!

[snarlingcoyote]

I book the Poly GV back in January, as soon as I got my PIN, for Sept 25 thru Oct 1. It's getting close now! :cool1::woohoo:

[Joyciemc]

I can't believe I'm just finding this thread now!
We're booked for a GV room Sept 5-12. Leaving room location completely up in the air... and I'm ok with that
This is our first time at the Poly and we are so excited!!!! On our last trip we spent quite a bit of time at the Poly- we love Kona and 'Ohana and relaxing on the beach before dinner.

Just a little over a month to go!

[MissLiz]

Thanks for bumping this thread up, Joyciemc! I can't believe I haven't seen it before!

I recognize a lot of you from the Poly thread!

We are going to be Poly CL from 9/18-9/21. Wow, it seems so sad to have that short of a trip, but after a glorious 10-day trip in May, what can I expect?

:cutie:

We love Septembers! We skipped September last year because I was on maternity leave most of the summer, so I wasn't able to take off any more time.

We are actually going to arrive in Orlando on 9/17, but since we are driving and we aren't leaving until late afternoon, we are just Pricelining a room for Friday night.

Ooh, I just did it again!

[moonshadow]

We'll be there (first time at Poly) from Sept 6th to the 11th.

This will be our third trip in September. It has always been hot but we never had any problems with the weather. Hoping the same for this trip. Plus lines are usually very small!!!

I'm pretty sure that when we went for our honeymoon, it was DH's first September trip (I hadn't been there in years and years, as per my siggy) and he was blown away by how short the lines were! I remember him saying "We just walked onto Space Mountain. We walked. On!" :rotfl: And it was the same throughout the week - I think the only thing we had to wait for was TSM (of course!).

[mom2travel]

Ooohhh - just stumbled upon this thread :surfweb:
We will be there in September too: 9/19-24 GV CL - just me and DH :love: We are so happy to be going back to the Poly. We've stayed in Tahiti twice, so CL in the Hawaii building will be new to us (work conference + 40% PIN = :yay:).

Since we tend to do our family favorites when at WDW, we decided to try some restaurants we've never been to before this time. Not too bad a mix considering we just booked the trip last week:
Kona for dinner (have had breakfast there)
The Wave
Rose and Crown Pub
Portabella
Nine Dragons

It looks like lots of DISers will be there at the same time we are - woo hoo!! Can't wait!

[Tinkerbellie16]

So the OP is no longer going to the Poly in September but I thought we should still have a post with everyone's dates. I can put together that post and PM the OP to put the page # in the title if everyone is ok with that. If you'd like me to include you in this master list, please include as much information as you care to share.

For instance for me, Tinkerbellie 16, I will be staying in a GV (requesting patio Tokelau) 9/18 - 9/25 with my DH, DS8, DD6, and another couple.

And everyone please grab a photo of yourself and anyone that is coming with you and post it on this thread so we can all recognize each other! (If you want to!)

I only have photos of my family (not the other couple coming with us), but here is one from April 2009 then April 2008:

Hi, OP here...:wave2:

I made the updates to the new post. Let me know if you need anything else.

I am jealous of you all going next month! We pushed ours to Oct b/c of DH's work schedule, and then yesterday I interviewed for a transfer to a new hospital opening by my same company and got the job...so...now having to move trip AGAIN!! New plan is December 10-16 at WL. I am bummed to not be there over halloween, but I was excited that my PIN was avail in Dec at WL. I thought it would be full for sure!

You guys have fun at Poly next month! I am saving that resort for a warm weather trip. :goodvibes:goodvibes

[MissLiz]

Hello, hello!

We will be at Poly 9/18 to 9/21 (so far, may add a couple more days) club level GV. Here are a couple pics of us, but I don't have any of DH's mom or grandma who will be with us. These pics are from May so they are pretty up to date.

This is Michael and DD1:

Hi, OP here...:wave2:

I made the updates to the new post. Let me know if you need anything else.

I am jealous of you all going next month! We pushed ours to Oct b/c of DH's work schedule, and then yesterday I interviewed for a transfer to a new hospital opening by my same company and got the job...so...now having to move trip AGAIN!! New plan is December 10-16 at WL. I am bummed to not be there over halloween, but I was excited that my PIN was avail in Dec at WL. I thought it would be full for sure!

You guys have fun at Poly next month! I am saving that resort for a warm weather trip. :goodvibes:goodvibes

Thank you disneymagicgirl!!!

I'm sorry we won't be seeing you next month but so glad to hear that you are still able to go to Disneyworld this year - and to see holiday decorations too!

[moonshadow]

We'll be there from 9/6 - 9/11. Can't wait to go. This is our first trip to the Poly!

Sorry I forgot to mention our names. There will be two people, Doug and Monica.

[jdd]

This is so cute - I love the idea of posting pictures! We'll be at the World from 8/28-9/4, but the first three days are at POR. Check in at Poly on 08/31 for the duration of our trip :cool1:

Here's a picture of the kids from last August's trip (DH and I are camera shy ;)) Please be sure to say hello - this will be our 10th trip and I've never yet met another Diser. Would love to! BTW, the boy in the black shirt isn't mine - I just didn't frame the picture well!

[MommyPoppins]

DH and I are going to be at the Poly 9/2(checking in before lunch)-9/6, just the two of us. Booked GV, haven't made any requests yet. I can't decide.

[Tinkerbellie16]

I've updated the list!

Sorry about the spacing, I tried to space it differently but it just smooshes it all back together. If anyone has any tips on the spacing or even adding a 'table' format, let me know and I'll redo it.

[TheNewMrsB]

DH (Guitarob) and I will be there 9/18-24! Staying in Hawaii and will definitely be at the pool every afternoon (generally pretty early, around 1-ish?)

[Missoutandabout]

Sept. 19th - 23rd. I'll be the one with the skeptical-looking husband getting plied with beer and/or tropical libations. I'll also be the one telling my 3 year old that naughty girls aren't allowed at Disney so she'd best be extra-special good. Also, as mentioned above, hopefully I'll have a Lapu-lapu glued to my hand too! :thumbsup2

We'll have our "Happy Anniversary" buttons on for sure and we'll generally have cookies sticking out of our pockets when we go to the lounge! ;)

[disneymumma]

Our family of 5 will be staying at the Poly from September 8-14. We requested Tahiti - my DH is a Creative Director, so..you know..staying in a longhouse that ran perpendicular to the lagoon shore would just drive him batty! :rotfl:

I'm not sure how to add a picture here, but the picture of the kids (screen left) is from our 2008 visit to WDW - they look about the same. :hyper:

[kdunkle904]

We will be there Sept 8th-14th with our dd3> I dont know how to post pictures, just look for the 20 somethings with tattoos everywhere. We are kinda hard to miss! :eek: Dont worry, we dont bite. :laughing:

You can add pictures via photobucket. You can get a free account and add a certain amount of photos. It's not too hard. I finally posted my first pictures a month ago even though I've been on here for a lot longer :) PM me if you would like more information!

[dragonfly57005]

I can't check in from work to this site. Somehow they think it is not a productive use of my time.

I think you all are a bad influence on me! After reading this site and these posts, I am reading to leave right now! Except, the crowds are still terrible....Must wait until September!


We have 5 kids: 9,7,5,3,1. And one on the way. Should be interesting.

[MissLiz]

I am so behind the times!

I just glanced at my calendar and realized that a month from right now, I'll be waiting at the turnstiles to Epcot!!!! WeeHAAAA!!!

:lmao::lmao:


Hope to see all of you there! It looks like a few of us will be in Hawaii right around the 18th. Can't wait to maybe finally meet some fellow Disers.

I also found a picture of the couple that will be coming with us. It will be their FIRST time at WDW!!! So along with our family:

http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac28/lauramoos/Disney2009.jpg

This is the other couple that will be coming with us and hopefully not too overwhelmed with us Disney fanatics:

http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac28/lauramoos/DandE2.jpg

They are so excited to go to WDW!! It's been her dream to go to WDW since it is true Americana and she just came from the Ukraine to America 2 years ago. So come on over and say hi to us - we'll be at the pool every afternoon:drinking1:beach:. I'm going to TRY to get a table and anyone's welcome to join! Or we may converge on one rickety chair :laughing: - but it will still be fun.

[TheNewMrsB]

So come on over and say hi to us - we'll be at the pool every afternoon:drinking1:beach:.

Amen, sister. :laughing:

A first trip to Disney - what a great experience that will be! At least, I hope it is (but I get a feeling that it will be - Disney does that...or else I wouldn't be as hooked as I am now! ;)).

[TinkerBelle_325]

Yay! Jumping on board :)

My parents and I will be at the Poly (Club Level) from Sept 3rd - 10th :goodvibes

I can't explain how excited I am. Two weeks till we're in Florida, and 17 days till we're at the Poly!
This might be the trip where I actually have to pack ahead of time- my work schedule gets pretty crazy right before I leave! At least that means the time should go by quickly... I hope...

But since we have 5 weeks to go...I have to hold back.

I KNOW! Me too! Tomorrow it'll be 4 weeks...AAAAAAHHHH!!!!! I can't wait!

[MissLiz]

I'm with you all on the excitement!

28 more days from right now, I'll be driving home from work to take the dogs to the doggie hotel! yay!!!

I'm still trying to make final dining decisions. I'm so up in the air this trip, I don't know what it is. I keep checking the website to see what is available for dining and I don't even know what I'm really looking for.

We've book Kona Cafe, Biergarten, Tusker House, Les Chefs de France, and Chef Mickeys already, but I just can't say "Okay, that's it. That's what I want."

I'm not sure if it's the pressure of planning the trip with extended family or what. It's driving me crazy.

[Missoutandabout]

30 days. 30 DAYS! OMG30DAYS! :woohoo: Dude, it's only a month away. *faint*

After this week, I kinda wish it were only 30 minutes until but I can cope since it's Friday. :upsidedow

Hey we will be checking into the Poly early that morning as well for our first Poly Trip! I can hardly stand it! Arrive in Orlando the day before for shopping and dinner at Trex, staying 1 night at Best Western DTD. Went yesterday and bought candles, rose petals, decorations to suprise DH on the evening of our anniversary when upon return from dinner at Narcosee, Im having the room decorated, bucket of champagne set out! I cant wait to see his face!:rotfl:

That sounds awesome! We will be there hopefully by 10am...room ready or not. Since we're not officially doing an anniversary trip this year, this is serving as ours. DW does NOT know we are staying here (and doesnt check browser history hopefully) so that is her anniversary surprise. She still thinks we are staying at POR. It will be interesting to see when she finally figures out we are not going to POR.

I'm sure this has been asked on here somewhere before but I can't find it anywhere besides spending hours searching.....

When you buy the Disney mug at Poly, does that include Kona coffee refills, regular Nescafe instant (that is disgusting and available at the other resorts), OR some other type of coffee that is in between Kona and the instant junk? :confused3 I am really looking forward to some GOOD coffee in the mornings.

I just finished the last of my Jamaican Blue Hills coffee (in my opinion the best coffee in the world) and I'm ready for some Kona!

[Poohstick]

We are so excited after changing our minds several times. We are now staying at the Poly for 4 nights and WL for 2 nights. It's right after Thanksgiving so hopefully the decorations will be endless.:cool1: So looking forward to this magical vacation.

[MissLiz]

So, is anyone planning on going to MNSSHP on 9/18? We are planning on going. I'm now in desperate costume search for both kids and me.

I didn't dress up last time (not even a Halloween shirt) since it was our first party and I didn't know what to expect. This time, I'm thinking about wearing a costume, but something pretty simple.

The girls, on the other hand, are difficult. Whatever we get them for the party, they are going to wear for Halloween as well, so I have to get the older one to decide what she wants to be. Ugh!

:lmao:

[bluejasmine]

Not going but I know Part City has already put out costumes you should take the kids by there and let them try a few on, I bet they and you will find something you will like!

We've never been to MNSSHP but plan on going to the 9/21 party. My husband and I aren't going to dress up (although I'll probably purchase some Disney ears or something!) but the kids will be dressed up. After hearing how warm it is, we've decided on 'light' costumes but I have to order them tonight so thanks for the reminder! I'll let you know what we decide but they will have to use the costumes for Halloween as well as that party!!

[MissLiz]

DD8 wore her Sleeping Beauty costume last time and it wasn't too bad. I'm more concerned with DD1. All of the cute costumes are warmer.

I'd like her to be Minnie Mouse, but I'm searching for a "real" Minnie Mouse dress. I'm assuming, if I want her to be Minnie, I'm going to have to do a custom. Disney Store has the pink Mickey Mouse Clubhouse dress in her size, but I want the red one.

I know WDW has a Minnie Mouse costume, but it's got the black top to it. (Yes, I am being that picky) :rolleyes1:rolleyes1:lmao:

I'm leaning toward a black cat or a gypsy/fortune teller for me. I'm thinking just a black t-shirt and black capris with ears and a tail for the cat. Or a billowy-type shirt and a peasant skirt with bangle bracelets for the fortune teller.

Just had to post because 23 is one of my lucky numbers (Yes, I am a Jordan fan :thumbsup2) and I have 23 days until my trip :cool1:

Ha ha - know what you mean! I see all the same names on all the Poly threads. I'm looking up everything that has anything to do with the Poly on these boards :rotfl:

It's funny to see the same names over and over. I feel like I "know" a bunch of you!

[Tinkerbellie16]

22 days to go!!! :banana::banana::banana:

[sahummel]

Just wanted to see my ticker countdown!

[moonshadow]

10 more days for us. Just did Online Check-In :cool1:

[MissLiz]

Is the time dragging or is it just me?

Ugh!!!

I want to be there right now!!!

:wizard::wizard::wizard:

Didn't work.


Oh well, 21 days from right now, I'll have ants in my pants getting ready to leave work. And, 21 days from right now, my MIL and DH's grandma will be landing in Orlando already. I'm hoping to get on the road by 2:30 so we should hit Orlando by 10pm at the latest.

fast for MissLiz (and me!) :wizard:

Let's see if my wizarding skills work.... :)

[MissLiz]

I don't think it worked. LOL

I keep looking at the clock and it seems to be stuck. That may just be the fact that I'm at work, bored, and it's a beautiful day outside.

I keep thinking that it's almost time to go home, and then, nope, I still have 2 hours. Ugh!

[jdd]

slow for jdd :wizard:
fast for MissLiz (and me!) :wizard:

Let's see if my wizarding skills work.... :)

Thanks :thumbsup2 - I figure we have 5 1/2 hours left before bedtime (everyone in at 8pm tonight to be ready for the early morning!) and then, after 7 hours of sleep, we'll be on the road!! Time can go fast until about 8pm tomorrow night ;)

We leave on Thursday, and every single day feels about 100 hours long! I don't remember the week before a trip ever taking this long!
But it'll get here, and then you'll be leaving soon after!

[Missoutandabout]

*sings*
Bumpity, bump, bump. I want to seeeee my ticker!
Just got our custom maps today, 3 year-old tried to nick the stickerrrrrs!

:dance3:

[kdunkle904]

I feel like being a whiny kid:......

Is it September yet?!?!?!? We're NEVER gonna get there!!.....

That only made me feel slightly better :yay:

Still have 12 days to go!

[Tinkerbellie16]

Well, my wizarding skills need some work! I had my son's birthday party last night and then both my kids had a sleepover. They would NOT go to sleep... It was a long night.

And of course my DH is still in Montana for harvest. The good news is that it is a GREAT harvest but the bad news is that the cities were not prepared for the crop so there aren't enough trains. My DH and family had to drive 90 miles to drop off the wheat because all the elevators are full. And they had to sleep in the truck overnight to be first in line to make sure they were able to drop off the wheat. So the bad news is that farmers may start dumping their wheat on the ground and the price of wheat may go up. Which in turn means we pay more for flour and bread.

3 more weeks :scared1:

[dragonfly57005]

4 weeks from today!!!

[Ellielovesdisney]

If you count like my DD (not counting today), then only 8more days!!!!

[MissLiz]

Doing the teens dance!!! Woot woot!

We went to Home Depot this weekend and I snuck some Mickey heads. I felt like a thief, but we really were looking at paint colors for our living room, breakfast room, and kitchen. Maybe I just like neon green and want it all over my house!

:lmao::lmao:


DH gave me an iTunes gift card as one of my birthday gifts, so I'm going to load up on some new songs for the road.

I'm still on a mission to find a red/white Minnie costume for my youngest. I'm not giving up just yet. My oldest has decided she's going to be Snow White for MNSSHP. She's been a Disney princess every year since she was 2 and she's running out of princesses that she wants to be.

Unfortunately for my youngest, after this year, she'll be a Disney princess every year!!! Yay for hand-me-downs!

[mom2travel]

Doing the teens dance!!! Woot woot!


Me too!! Yeah! :woohoo: :cool1:

p.s. wish I could help w/ the Minnie dress - that is not one we have

[bluejasmine]

Tomorrow will be single digit dancing! Oh yeah!

DS and DD are not gooing with but come down with something and DH seems to have gotten a head cold maybe so I went to the pharmacy and got the "real" sudafed from behind the counter to give to them all! Plus eveyone in my house is getting good doses of vitamin C! Im NOT getting sick so close to my trip and Im gonna make sure DH is better too! LOL

I just ordered a costume from wondercostumes.com for my DD. They have tons of Disney costumes on there and with their regular shipping (only $6), the costume will arrive on or before 9/8 (plenty of time to spare before we leave for WDW). Just a suggestion for you :)

[Aliflo]

our first trip to WDW ever! Taking my DS20 for a mom/son vacation. He picked it from a long list of choices and I'm so glad he did. MK view at Poly - requested Tahiti. have all of our ADR's. We'll be there 9/5 - 9/8 and then a day at Harry Potter and a day at discovery cove.

Yahoo!!!!! :cheer2::banana::dance3:

I know I shouldn't stress about a costume for a little one, but I just don't like the Minnie costumes that are pink or that have black tops.

[laffyfam]

We will be there Sept 17-24. Can't wait will be the first time our youngest dd 3 will kinda of remember it. She went when she was just 3 months old. She will be so much fun.

Let me know if you want to be added to the official list (see Page 4, post #50) and let me know any additional info you want me to post. Post a photo too if you want people to recognize you!

Missoutandabout will be there some of the same days as you and she also has a child that is 3!

Welcome to the Sept Poly thread - tomorrow marks the official start of September :banana::banana:

[TinkTink78]

Going to MNSSHP on the 25th, anyone else?

[MissLiz]

Hey everybody!

It's September!!!!!!!


Woo HOOOOO!!!!!!


16 days for us, people! Eeep!


I was talking to my husband yesterday and I said that there were going to be a lot of Disboards people at Poly when we are there. He was surprised because we've never noticed that many Dis people at the same resort that we are at when we are there. Here's hoping we run into some of you when we are there!

Only 5 more days until I'm at the Poly :cool1:

Not to be a downer or anything, but does anyone else find it amusing that we are heading to Orlando this month and the tropical storm/hurricane names are Fiona, Gaston, and Hermione?

I'm not hoping that they hit, but I just find that a little funny.



Okay, back to normal programming!

I just laughed out loud, I hadn't thought of that before. I can't tell you how ironic and funny I would find it if Tropical Storm Hermione pounded down on me while visiting the WWOHP.

[Missoutandabout]

Missoutandabout will be there some of the same days as you and she also has a child that is 3!


Yay. It'll be the first for ours... can't wait to see her eyes light up. :lovestruc I have a feeling even her severely skeptical dad will melt. :rotfl:

Hi everyone!! Will be arriving tomorrow and leaving on 9/7! Hope the crowds are small and here's to everyone on the DIS having a Lapu Lapu!! See y'all at the pool!!

Now all of you cancel so we have the place to ourselves.

I didn't even think of that - it's quite funny actually! And here's to hoping they fizzle out :)

[MissLiz]

This is what I do when we are slow at work. I play on the internet and find useless information!

:rotfl:


Hey, guess what, everybody? In exactly 2 weeks, we'll be waiting at DD8's school to pick her up and hit the road!!!

And today, I am counting down the minutes until 4:30 when I leave and, what are we doing? Hitting the road, but going the opposite direction. Should be a nice day tomorrow for some Volunteer football!

Work is so busy that I keep the disboards open while I am on these endless concalls and anytime my blood pressure starts to rise, I think of WDW and go post something ;) Or what really makes me smile is checking out pictures - Poly, parks, or food!

[kdunkle904]

5 days and we will be at the Poly!! :cool1:

Has anyone done High Tea? I am doing it for the 1st time and am quite excited. Do people dress up for it?

[dragonfly57005]

3 weeks!!!! 3 weeks until bliss!!!!

[crostorfer]

3 weeks!!!! 3 weeks until bliss!!!!

Me too!!! See you there!!!:cool1:

[TinkTink78]

3 weeks till POLY and MNSSHP!!!!!! :cloud9:

[Ellielovesdisney]

We did high tea...can't imagine we dressed up.

[dragonfly57005]

Halloween costumes ordered for the kids! We are ready for the MNSSHP!

Btw, if your kids want to be Jesse from Toy Story, start looking now. They were all back ordered in the sizes we wanted so the girls opted for different costumes. I just worried that the back order date was too close to when we were leaving.

[Tinkerbellie16]

5 days and we will be at the Poly!! :cool1:

Are you talking about the Afternoon tea at the Grand Floridian? We did that (with three generations - grandparents, me, kids) and had a very nice time. We did wear some of our 'nicer' clothes (which is just relative in terms of Disney!) and the girls wore their princess dresses but you don't need to dress up. Have fun!

[tpholland]

Our Disney visits for the past several years have been all about the food :thumbsup2. This year it's going to be all about "Food & Poly". (the parks are just an extra perk :lmao:)
So...... to get ready for our trip we planned dinner around our upcoming stay. Last night we had grilled Garlic/Lemon Shrimp & Filet Mignon. Tonight we had grilled Hawaiian Pineapple & Pork Kabobs & a side of Citrus Infused Couscous with pine nuts & dried cranberries. (this was a good one) I can hardly wait to see what I come up with for tomorrow :rolleyes1:

[A&MsMommy]

Holy smokes, we leave in three days!!!!

[TinkTink78]

19 to be exact :)

and single digits till check in :lmao:

[dragonfly57005]

Holy smokes, we leave in three days!!!!

exciting!!!!! Get packing!


19 days to go here. Starting to line up the non-essentials...our duplicates of toiletries and stuff. The weather is turning cooler so I should be able to start packing the kids' shorts and stuff.

[dragonfly57005]

And I keep pulling up the Orlando area. I love it: every day is the same - high of 92 low of 74. Straight across the board. So much better than here...high of 68 and low of 49. Brrrrr...

[crostorfer]

Doing the "teens" dance!!!

:dance3: :dance3: :dance3:

I agree with you dragonfly, the weather here stinks too. Low of 50, high of 62 with rain. The Orlando heat and humidity is going to be a real shock! The summer clothes have all been packed away, a lot of them in a suitcase!!!

[Tinkerbellie16]

I can't believe I am thinking this or even saying it...but I'm starting to wonder if I need more time before vacation :scared1: I just have so much to do and suddenly we are 11 days away.

Excuse me, I just slapped myself. All better and now 11 days can't come soon enough :rotfl:

[dragonfly57005]

I placed my order for the garden grocer yesterday. Hopefully i don't overfill the suitcases so we don't have room to bring home our souvenirs. Last time, we used the space where the diapers were for that.

[MissLiz]

Single digit dance!!!

:cool1::cool1::cool1:


Of course, I am officially freaking out because I am still not ready, but that's okay!

We've decided to take DD8 out of school early on Friday and get a head start on our drive. Woo HOOO!!!

Last minute shopping will be happening this weekend and then I should be ready to go.

[Diznotyzed]

I'm really getting butterflies now! Just three days to go!

We will be at Poly 09/18 - 09/26 for our first time. This will be DD-2 first trip to Disney. Completed Online Checkin this morning and I absolutely cannot wait! :cheer2:

[MissLiz]

We went out and bought the kids' Halloween costumes yesterday. DD8 is going to be Snow White and DD1 is going to be Minnie Mouse.

All I could find was the pink Mickey Mouse Clubhouse dress for 18-24 months, so I decided to try on DD8's old 2/3 Belle costume and it didn't look too big, so we went ahead and bought the 2/3 Minnie Mouse costume.

It's too cute!!! I can't wait!

[dragonfly57005]

We have our costumes ordered.

Our kids are:
Tamina from Prince of Persia (she liked it because it was pants and not a dress)
Pocahontas
Princess Tiana
Snow White
And Mickey Mouse

[dragonfly57005]

I'm still hoping that an 'Ohana breakfast opening happens for us. Fingers crossed for some pixie dust for that day!

[MissLiz]

I was playing on the Disney site last night and I saw a 7:10pm spot at Ohana open for our free night and I tried to grab it, but I think I was about a second too slow. It said that it wasn't available anymore and the times had been updated and it was still showing, so I tried again, but nope, same message, but the time stilled showed when I refreshed.

I tried one more time to get it and got the same message and then, when I refreshed, it was gone. Boo!!!

I guess I'll keep looking. If we don't get anything, we'll just go with our original plan of either getting counter service or snacking in the club lounge.

Oh my pixie dust!!!!

I signed up for it and will have to double check that it works with our flight schedule, but I jumped at. I've checked multiple times a day and finally it opened up!

[MissLiz]

I'm so jealous!!! We aren't going to be heartbroken if we don't eat at Ohana, but we thought that Grandma would think it was fun, so we thought we'd try for it.

Good job getting a ressie!!!


So, last night, I was trying to pack some more and I started stressing out. I went into the living room and just flopped on the couch. When DH asked what was wrong, I just looked at him.

I feel like, when we booked our reservations, it seemed like so far away and now, I'm freaking out because I feel so unorganized! We just went in May, so all of our clothes should still be okay AND I just went and bought each of the girls 3 new outfits, so what's my problem?!?!?

I usually don't freak out like this until the night before we leave. We still have 2 full days before the day we leave.

I even took the time to go get my hair cut and colored last night, so I should feel like I'm more ready than normal. Geez!

:laughing:

I'm with you. Sometimes we have no idea what's wrong.

I was so frustrated last night because my EIGHT year old had two hours of homework (ok, part of that is his fault because he doesn't focus but we had to sit there with him and it is painful!). Then my husband and I are trying to figure out who's driving the kids where on which days for school, daycare, soccer, dentist appointments, assessment tests, birthday party, and a sleepover and (breath) try to get our work done (oh, that pesky little thing that pays the bills) all BEFORE our trip...in FOUR days! So I flopped too and watched the Bachelor Pad because it is mind-numbing :lmao:

I just know that once we leave the house, there is just nothing more I can do and I LOVE that feeling. I tell myself that we just need our IDs, a credit card, and a smart phone and the rest is solvable. If we forgot something, we replace it there. If I forgot to turn a light off in the house, we just call our neighbor who is watching our house. If I forgot to call someone, I have a cell phone! I just love finally letting go of all the planning and enjoying the vacation. Not much longer!!!

That is one of my biggest problems! I act like we aren't going to be able to purchase anything when we go. It's not like we are traveling to the outback with no stores available. Plus we drive, so we can drive wherever we need to go.

Oh, and our 8-year-old didn't get any homework last night, so that means she will probably have double tonight and she's got dance class tonight. I have to finish up laundry tonight, garbage day is tomorrow, so we'll have that gone, and then, Thursday is: :banana:

DH is in charge of taking the dogs to the pet hotel on Thursday and picking up DD8 from school. I am in charge of picking up DD1 at daycare and packing the car (I'm the better trunk packer).

WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!

Well, almost. Just nobody ask me if I'm ready tonight at about 8pm because I am going to be a basket case then!

:lmao:

[Tinkerbellie16]

I am soooooo ready. Work is freaking out that I am going on vacation. I'm a project lead for this huge project that won't be over until 2012 and everytime I take some time off, they freak out. They've actually created ISSUEs on the project related to me taking time off - it's ridiculous. I can't wait to NOT be involved in this for a whole week.

But isn't that so true of all of us? We like our vacations to get away from daily stresses. No cooking, no cleaning, no driving to sports, no homework, no work, no having to wake up at 6 am, etc. :woohoo:

[MissLiz]

Just wanted to pop in here to say safe travels to everyone going to the World this weekend!!!!

Hope to see some of you there!!!

You sound like me - I read a thread where the person was like "I just ate Tonga Toast and it was amazing", and I immediately looked at the clock, and thought "I'll be eating there in 24 hours!" :rotfl:

I've been counting the hours til we get picked up for a while now. Currently we're at: 17 hours!!! :scared1: CRAZY!

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

It's quiet here, but I think that is because you all are at your trips!!!

We're on the single digit dance too. :cool1:

I have the suitcases out and ready to be packed. Clothes are laid out. Every day I think of something else I should I bring along.

Hope you all are having fun!

And praying that the weather behaves while we are there!

We will already have landed at MCO, the magical express will have already delivered us to the Poly, we will have our KTTW in hand, and will be finishing up our breakfast at OHana!!! :banana:

This is going to be a loooooooooooong week!!!
