So exciting planning your first trip, you've picked the BEST resort (IMHO) for your first trip and you'll be spoiled for future trips! ;)

We'll just miss you as we'll be at the Dolphin from the 8th to the 15th. DD is 17 and this his her grad trip. Is one of your sons graduating?

I'll be there with my three boys July 11 - 15th. DH will still have to work in Singapore and doesn't get to join us this year. We are still looking forward to it although it will be different without all of us there! My boys are 14, 12, and 8. Somehow, I am still 29. ;)

Yes, my 18 year old's high school graduation!! I am already trying to plan a return trip for my 17 year old's graduation too!!!
I know I am afraid of that spoiled feeling!! We started with CBR and I just kept looking at the Poly and finally made the switch!!
I am sooooo excited I can hardly stand it!! I feel like I am not getting anything else done! And to boot, I am having his graduation party on June 5th!! I keep telling myself to just quit obsessing and concentrate on something else, like maybe work!! hahaha:rotfl::rotfl:

Zuzu03,

If it isn't too much trouble, would you mind organizing the names in order of the dates we will arrive at the Poly? That way, when we look at the list, we can easily see whose trips overlap with ours, if you know what I mean? (I'm a visual learner.)

Thank you so much for starting this thread!! Hope to see some of you at the Poly. I've got my lime green mickey heads!

We are going to WDW for the very first time in July. We are staying at the Poly from July 21 -27. I am really excited. My husband doesn't really know what to expect he's not on the site and he doesn't look at my books. He said he just want's to experience it. Our three kids DD9, DS5 and DD4 have no idea that we are going anywhere this summer. So this should be a blast, can't wait!

HOORAY! :cool1: Welcome to the boards and another huge welcome to the Poly! You'll LOVE it and what a wonderful surprise for the kids! We're building quite a group on page 1 - don't forget to sport your lime green mickey heads (for those who don't know what these are, they're the Home Depot Mickey paint chips in lime green, the official disboards color). So glad to have you here rezmommy!

My DH and I were both unemployed for the past year, so we bought annual passes and went on a bunch of short trips to Disney. (Responsible, I know!:rotfl: But it was SO MUCH FUN!)

Anyways, now we're both working and thought that would curb our trips...so instead we're leaving after work on Friday July 2, getting down to the Poly around 10:30 at night (:scared1:), spending the weekend "relaxing", and heading home late Monday night on July 5 (and going to work on the 6th!)

In all our trips, we've never stayed at any of the Magic Kingdom resorts, so I'm so excited!

I'm a little intimidated by the heat and the crowds, but since there's nothing we specifically want to see, we'll be the ones lounging by the pool or relaxing on the beach and hitting the parks for a couple hours late at night!

Welcome!!! That sounds like a fun, whirlwind trip! You'll LOVE the Poly and the convenience of the monorail to hop over to MK or to Epcot from the TTC. We're planning on doing that too, taking it easy and spending a lot of resort time just chilling out by the pool and taking in the sights and sounds. The Poly is perfect for this! You're less than a month away now!!!

Congrats on the last day of school! My kids have been out for a month--I'll be ready to send them back soon:lmao:.

I just bought a dress and a skirt/top for dinners at Yachtsman and Narcosee's. But I don't have shoes that are comfortable and will match. The dress is a black/white sundress and the skirt is white/black top. So I got a pair of black and white flip flops and will wear those. I'm wearing them as much as possible in the next week in hopes that they are ok. I'll only be wearing them for evenings, at least, and they're not exactly fancy--the Adidas ones with the gel cushion sole. i hope the fashion police don't arrest me, but it IS a themepark, after all!:rotfl:

Hi Disney Ron,

Thanks!!! It's so funny, several students have come back in these past few days to drop off textbooks, pick up their report card, etc. and they tell us they're already bored after only 2 days off (we've had inservice days)! Man, I'm NEVER bored at home, especially when there's some serious Disney planning to do! :lmao:

As far as footwear goes, I'm all about fashion following function at the theme parks! If my feet aren't happy, then I'm not happy!!! Fashion police be darned!!! :rotfl:

Zuzu~ Your daughter is a very smart girl :thumbsup2 Great choice! lol

mdrob~ You should be fine with those sandals. I've seen everything in footwear at those restaurants from Havianas to stilettos. I usually wear my dressier sandals at night but comfort is important. BTW we are dining at Yachtsman and Narcoossee's too. Our 30th anniversary dinner is at Narcs. :lovestruc


I just asked my DH to get the luggage down from the attic. We still have 26 days to go but it's not too early to start.....right?

Deb, it's never to early to start with the luggage.

Up until 3 days ago we were going in September with Free Dining, but because of work obligations we were able to move the trip to WDW to July 4th for 7 days. That's why I'm just getting to this thread.

Have a great trip.

Yeah. Here at home I would probably wear my sandals with heels. They are comfy, too, but not for WDW.

We'll be celebrating our Emma's 1st birthday.

Congrats to your DD on graduating and she made a great choice for a trip.

Zuzu, we think Emma is such a pretty name. I guess great minds think alike.;)

SOOO cute that she's celebrating her first b-day at WDW! You're starting her out on the right path! LOL! Yes, it is a pretty name - I had an Aunt Dilema and they called her Emma for short. Plus 17 years ago Emma Thompson was very popular as an actress, so it was a no-brainer! :)

I wish I could convince DH to wait because I'd book AKL for the first four nights in a heartbeat! I think we should wait another year to visit HP, but DH is adamant. I hope we are happily surprised. Can you have that Pina Colava waiting for me on the morning 18th? LOL!!!!

We arrived at the resort at about 3 pm.

Check in went well. We Received our request for first floor connecting rooms. Perfect view of the castle and lagoon and grand Floridian.

We have reservations for kona at 7:05.

Still waiting for our luggage though and it's even nearly four hours since our plane landed. :confused3

Kids r at the pool and I'm listening to the ferry and beautiful resort music on the patio..:cool2:

I told kids we're staying AKL (which we've done twice) and I told hubby we were doing CR. Everyone's first choice was Poly, so everyone will be surprised!!!! Our first time at the Polynesian!

The weather is normal for july - hot and muggy with threat of thunder storms.

I have my iPad with me so hoping to update as I can

Hint for packing if using magical express - pack a little of each family members clothing In each suitcase just in case they don't all arrive In a timely manner. Our six pieces arrived in shifts over a period of six hours. The kids had their things by dinner But we did not.

Dinner at kona was great.

That happened to DD and I with ME. We arrived about noon, checked in to the Poly but had only minimal things with us, went to the Spirit of Aloha that night without what we had planned to wear. Our suitcase finally showed up at midnight - we were already in bed when the knock came on the door! So very good advice Lorie!

Haha, no I'm in Vermont, I was just born in Montreal about 1 1/2 hours to the north. Emma skipped a grade (which really rocked me) and graduated early - she's off to prep school next year for a post-graduate year to play basketball before she has to play college ball. I'm FREAKING out about it, of course!!!!

Just got back from dinner at ohana. Yummy has usual. Sitting here on our patio waiting for the fireworks to begin. The place is really hopping. Can u believe they have a stand set up on the Polynesian beach selling turkey legs?????? It was there last night for the crowds too. Last night's fireworks were great. Can't wait to see it again tonight.

Lots of rain today and the past few days but not too humid. All you headed this way -- bring some sun. :laughing:

Sounds like you're having a great time. That is strange about the weather. It was warmer here today than Orlando! Hope you get more sun soon!

Did they show Summer Nightastic fireworks last night or was it a special holiday themed show? I bet tonight's show will be outstanding. I'm looking forward to seeing SN and MSEP.

Wow, turkey legs for sale at the Poly?? I guess they feel the extra crowds will be hungry! :rotfl:

HAHAH, no problem, you must be whooped! Do you work in a hospital? DD will have her Ipod Touch, so I'll try to give some sort of updates, and when I get back I'll have more with pics! We'll be at the Dolphin first for 7 days before we move to the Poly - so you might be hearing a lot of Dolphin stuff for a bit! And I know the Dolphin has wireless internet, but I don't think the Poly does. Thank you for your good wishes and for taking over!

HAHAH, no problem, you must be whooped! Do you work in a hospital? Yes, I'm a nurse on a combination pediatric/surgical floor.

I'll have my BlackBerry, so the same thing here, I can give little updates, but not pics, while I'm down there. We'll be at the Dolphin first for 7 days before we move to the Poly - so you might be hearing a lot of Dolphin stuff for a bit! And I know the Dolphin has wireless internet, but I don't think the Poly does. I'd LOVE to hear all about the Dolphin. My family qualifies for those special rates, too, and I'm pretty sure we'll be staying there at some point (if I can convince DH, who is all about the Disney brand).

I also love the Poly, of course, hence the split stay! DD wants to be a pediatric doc or nurse, not sure yet!

I'm so sorry you had to cancel your trip! :hug: I hope everything gets resolved very quickly with your family, and you are able to enjoy a wonderful Christmas vacation! Only Zuzu03 can take your name off post #1, and she is in WDW right now.

Leaving in 2 days! Mrs. Corndog is taking today off to pack. Got the oil changed and other car work done last night. Got a Joovy Ultralight Caboose stand-on stroller yesterday. It's getting close!

Still don't know if we're going to drive straight through or stop overnight!

Aloha! You are added on post 108! I know, I know, we LOVE the anticipation. I'm starting to have a little anxiety over the anticipation being almost over...if that makes sense?

I know what you mean about not wanting to do it any other way. We stayed off-site for free our first trip (well, Marriott points), and we stopped by the Poly for dinner and have been hooked ever since.

I still feel so unprepared! Lots and lots to do, and lots of work night in the next week-and-a-half, so I'm actually starting to run out of time and feel a little behind.

Oh my gosh I'm leaving for the Poly in 4 days and I haven't even starting packing yet, I have so much to do before we leave!

I just wanted to let you all know, if you are on twitter, you can follow me @ThisIsMe783 (http://twitter.com/ThisIsMe783) I'll be updating from the Poly via my twitter account.

I'll try and update on the Poly FAQ thread on the resorts board if I have decent 3G coverage on my phone, but sometimes twitter is just easier.
