    Worth it for non-morning people?

    Thank you! I know DH and the kids will want to do FOP (I cannot). If we book the trip, I’m thinking we’d make AK our one early day. So we’d be up and get FoP and then hit rope drop. RotR…we’re not huge Star Wars people at all. But I’m sure they’d like to try it. Maybe just get in line at the...

    Worth it for non-morning people?

    To have that "order what you want, it's paid for feeling" but keep things simple and flexible- I like to put what the Disney Dining Plan would have cost in a savings account before the trip and just charge everything to my cash back credit card (via magic band charge to resort). When the...

    Worth it for non-morning people?

    thanks! That’s what we used to do. Rope drop, afternoon swim break and then back to the parks. Last trip though…teenagers wanted to close the parks and then it was a struggle to get up in the morning. Just too much. So I think we’ll just skip the morning part and add an hour or two to the...

    Worth it for non-morning people?

    thank you for all the input! I think it’s a trip we could really enjoy. Still need to talk to the rest of the family. They really wanted to do a cruise this year but with island refusing entry, etc….I think we might want to wait on that. My husband doesn’t fly so Disney is about as close to...

    Worth it for non-morning people?

    Considering a trip this August before DD leaves for college. We’ve been 6 times before but never in summer and not since COVID. Thoughts on how well a trip would go for 4 adults who have no desire to be up and out at 7 am on vacation? Here’s what I’m thinking of: -6 nights early August (with...

    Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

    We were there in November and stayed in a standard view Rarotonga room, monorail side, 3rd floor. I think the rooms on that side have to be Standard. I don’t know what else they’d be considered? But not sure about the ones in the pool side. Those could go either way.

    Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

    We just stayed on the 3rd floor of Rarotonga, backside, in November and it was very quiet. I was a little worried about the monorail- could not hear it at ALL with the doors closed. We really enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching it glide by. I don’t recall ever hearing any parking lot...

    Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

    Oh yes, the elevator! We requested 1st floor but got 3rd. They could only give us 1st in the other side of the resort so we kept our room. Did the stairs mostly especially since the only elevator was on opposite end of building. But with luggage and sometimes just so darn tired... that elevator...

    Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

    They really do. I love the Polynesian so mich but the rooms were looking rough this past trip. Banged up walls, etc. none of the USB ports worked and all of the outlets were wonky. Hard to get things plugged in. The vanity top was showing wear too. Everything needs a freshening up!

    About this rider swap...

    We were also there last week. At some rides we were never told any times and I never checked in the app. Our 2nd group just went on after the 1st was done. The only time we were given a time was at 7 Dwarves. It was a start time only and there was no end time in the app. We were also able to...

    Resort Parking Fees to be enforced

    I agree. It was fair when both DME and parking were rolled into the room cost. Now it’s really punishing those of us who drive. And the fact that it costs more to park at a Deluxe resort? Is the parking spot somehow more deluxe? Ugh. Glad we were booked for this trip before it was put in place
