Anyone just back try the new sushi offerings at the Kona counter? Just curious about your thoughts on that. Hope it's still available next summer!

TIA!

We checked in on the 7th and we we're upgraded to CL MK view! We are loving it, especially because we booked a GV room! It's been HOT, but crowds have been manageable! Definitely not 8 or 9 like UG predicted. I think our longest wait time was 20 min for Dumbo, but we use fp and rider swap for the big rides. The longest wait time I saw was TSM and Pixie Hollow, which were both 60 minutes. Well, we're off to the concierge lounge for lunch! Just thought I'd let you know of our little pixie dusted vacation!

Congratulations!!! How awesome is that!?

Just curious, what is Pixie Hollow? (Wow, I feel very uninformed.)

The main part is on the second and then there is a loft overlooking with seating/a bathroom/some tables on the third.

Can you enter and exit the lounge from the third floor?

 

[mmmears]

Can you enter and exit the lounge from the third floor?

Yes you can. That is what we would do, then take the lounge stairs down to the main level. We never used the elevator in the Hawaii bldg. It was easy and convenient.

Yeah, we just bumped our trip up to October - and for 10 nights! DH finally got the go-ahead from his boss.

We're doing a split stay now, 7 nights at Windsor Palms and 3 nights at the Poly.

I booked our flights today too! $660 for all 4 of us, return (and direct) flying AirTran and JetBlue.

Now I might get extra lucky and get FIL to get our park tickets, SeaWorld Tickets, and Alamo gift certificates for us through his airmiles.

Ohhhhh, so excited now.

I know what you mean. This will also be our first time staying at Club Level. Please check out this thread:
Concierge/Club Level Information (Sept 2008)
You will gain so much knowledge just by reading thru it.
Also, please be sure to contact: Polynesian.Itinerary.Planning@disneyworld.com
Let them know you're coming - and they will be able to do so much for you! Just before I decided to upgrade to Concierge, I had been trying to make a dinner reservation for O'Hana's for months without success. The very first time I spoke to the Itinerary Planner, she was able to get me the reservation at exactly the date & time I had been trying for. She is also making arrangements for a birthday cake and other surprizes for our grandson. I can't say enough how great they have been to us - and we haven't even been there yet!
Good luck!
Gretcen

Thank you - I will read that one! I already got an email from IPO - I was surprised it came so quickly. My TA just did the upgrade this am!!

Thanks for the tip. I will check into it - but we have actually enjoyed driving the last few trips - are we nuts?!!! We may do some sightseeing along the way.

We ate at the Kona Sushi Bar in April and LOVED everything. It was a little pricey, but what else is new. We already have plans to eat there again next year.

CR Resort Fan 4 Life, mmmears, and iloveeeyore for the answers about the bounceback offers. This is the first time I could get to a computer, because of work.

Thanks again guys.
