    Disney's new smoking policy (?)

    Not if it were an accident or the person wasn't aware there were DSA's. What about all those non-smokers who walk by the DSA's fake coughing, glaring, and waving their hands in front of their faces? Can I sue them for infliction of emotional distress? After reading all these posts, I am ready...

    Disney's new smoking policy (?)

    Disneysteve, Cost isn't really a factor to me but comfort and convenience is which is why I stay on site. As you can see I am a New Yorker so I don't have need for a car and wouldn't want to drive for the first time in years in unfamiliar territory nor do I want to be dependent on the bus...

    Disney's new smoking policy (?)

    Disneysteve, I have always requested and received a smoking optional room. I was just about to book our annual WDW trip when I read about the policy so I am choosing to stay at Universal and the Dolphin instead unless those policies also change and if it turns out I have to eat the airfare so...

    Disney's new smoking policy (?)

    Bonzarella, AKL has always had smoking optional rooms - stayed twice on the giraffe (pool view) trail second floor. However, there was no smoking on the balcony even pool view when I stayed and you had to sign a paper stating that you would not smoke on the balconies.

    Disney's new smoking policy (?)

    I went to bed after I posted so didn't get to respond in a timely manner. Colleen27 - Last summer we had Poly Garden View Conceirge view booked and a smoking room booked. They overbooked the smoking rooms in Hawaii so we were put in Nuie which was very convenient and they also took off about...

    Disney's new smoking policy (?)

    I am a single smoking parent and instead of booking a Disney resort I booked the Dolphin and if their policy changes I will just cancel and we will also stay at Universal. As I said in a post on another thread: cost of not doing the AP rate - priceless. We have been going to WDW every summer...

    Swan/Dolphin?

    Dilemma resolved. I just booked a smoking room at the Dolphin for a week and will also do Universal for several nights. If the hotels change their policies we just won't go. Cost of not doing the AP rate wait: PRICELESS

    Smokers... will you still stay on property after June 1st?

    dturner, Thank you for contacting Disney - please let us know if you get a reply. I am in the same position as you - single parent. We go to WDW every summer for about 10 days and stay onsite but this year we won't or we will give the Dolphin a shot and maybe Universal.

    Boardwalk Inn details?

    I would make sure you request a daybed. We stayed at the BWI this past August and we had a corner room so we had an extra window but no day bed.

    The Official Polynesian Resort FAQ thread!

    Azure, I was at the Poly 8/7-12 and the new TV's are a matte finish. In other words, "nonglareable."

    Amtrak -never Again!

    I LOVE the train (did roundtrip 4 years ago and one way 10 days ago). We flew to WDW on 8/7 due to return on the 17th. I don't like to fly to begin with and was totally stressed about the return. We had done it with carry ons - wasn't sure how to pack. And like I said I LOVE the train. The...

    Tell me about Boardwalk

    We were at the BWI 8/12 - 8/17. Had a standard view, smoking optional. We were next to the quiet pool. There was an interior staircase that we could use (the part of the resort is only two stories high), a quick hop across the gardens, up the grand stairs and we were at the Bellevue Room. We...

    The Official Polynesian Resort FAQ thread!

    Kaysmommie, There is a high speed internet connection jack behind the desk. The cable is in a pouch on a hanger in the closet so no need to bring you open. You just need to connect and open your browser. I called tech support a few times and they were very pleasant and helpful. I did...

    The Official Polynesian Resort FAQ thread!

    Kaysmommy - I was at the Poly 8/7-8/12. HSIA is available in the rooms. There is no internet access in the lobby/lounge. I think it is 9.95 for 24 hours and about 5.00 for one hour. I found the service to be extremely glitchy. I could access the internet early in the morning or late at...

    Just Back from Poly (a little long sorry)

    Hi Dutch - Glad you enjoyed your stay. We were there at the same time as you - also checked in on the 7th. I had booked GVC BUT some of the rooms were in the process of the last renos so we were put in Samoa BUT I had requested a smoking optional room. I went to the lobby check in and...

    Help? WiFi at Polynesian?

    I stayed at the Poly for five nights last week and the internet access was very glitchy. It was good early in the morning or late at night. The rest of the time I couldn't get on. I am now at the Boardwalk and the internet access is much more stable. I don't know why.

    Disney reservation computers down

    On dial up at BWI. This must have happened while we were at MK. The fastpass and wait times were messed up. I haven't had HSIA since this afternoon. However, the wifi was working.
