    Resort Only Trip?

    If I were to do a resort only trip it would have to be AKL. We stayed there twice. 1st time just the 2 of us and did not leave the resort on quite a few days. I say it is a vacation within a vacation. That's if you are interested in African wildlife. If not, then I would suggest Beach Club...

    If you could speak to Bob Iger about DVC at the Poly.....

    BTW... We just got back from POLY. Stayed in Tahiti. Never noticed any bad smells anywhere around the resort. Thank goodness b/c I have a sensitive schnoz and notice every smell there is. And they are updating the inside of the rooms so that's a plus. Otherwise I think the outsides are dated as...

    If you could speak to Bob Iger about DVC at the Poly.....

    I can't understand why they don't just build independent DVC resorts. Why cramp things up at POLY and GF (too late for that one) ? As others stated, the monorail is already cramped and jammed up not to mention other issues. My question to Bob would be "Why not build a beautiful DVC Island...

    ALOHA! The Polynesian Resort Information Thread: September 2012

    Well just be sure to plan things out. All the rain we had didn't help matters. I just remember other years it seemed we rode everything we wanted as much as we wanted with ease I might add. At that time we rode Soarin 3 times in a row w/o any fastpasses ! It might be a 15 min wait for test...

    We requested Tahiti 1st fl Lagoon View and were placed in room 1030. Exactly what we requested. Was a very private and quiet area with a nice view of the Castle & monorail and close to the MK boat. View was terrific! Granddaughter could walk down to the beach and play while I sat on our patio...

    It was for 8 nights LV...and adding it up quickly it actually looks like the total trip, incl airfare, meals & spending and of course the resort and park hoppers w/wp looks like we spent approx $9200. or a little better. We did not pay rack rate either...that was with a 35% room discount.It...

    Another online check in question

    We were just at the POLY. Got there about 7:15 p.m....not a person in line but us. Did not do online btw. maybe it was the time of evening or the resort we were at. Took less than 5 min. They had everything ready for me. I signed a paper and off we went ! Must have been all the luck we were...

    ALOHA! The Polynesian Resort Information Thread: September 2012

    Well 1st of all it rained for like 4 days. 1 day it rained all day. That's not by any means a fault of Disney's, but all the same it really did put a damper on many of our plans. Of all my past trips to Disney at this same exact time of year we never had not even 1 day of rain. This trip more...

    Back from our 1st POLY stay. Poly is really nice. We had a lagoon view in Tahiti 1st floor as I had requested. Beautiful view of all those magical Disney icons, the Castle, the Monorail and the ferry boat. Food at this resort is great. Ohana's was good both breakfast & dinner. Kona was really...

    Get-away-Glen Rental at Typhoon Lagoon

    Anyone get the Get-away Glen umbrella and lounge chair rental at TL ? Did you think it was worth $5o-some? Went and booked it. Just hope it's worth it.:confused3

    To Hotel Hop or Not

    I wouldn't do it either. Even if it was a longer stay. We did split stay once on an 8 night trip and was really sorry we did. Unless it was a two week or more stay...then I might consider it.

    If I remember correctly, when we stayed at AKL and took the bus from AKL to MK it took about 25 min w/o any stops, so I would say maybe 15-20 min by car? I don't know about HS but if I had to guess I would say about 10 min. Someone else here will know for sure I'm sure. ;) I don't think...

    Why is Disney doing this???!!! Really? The Poly and the other monorail resorts should be left alone IMO. I think there are going to be a lot of very disappointed people after all is said and done. Like I said in my previous post, build a "NEW" DVC resort.Adding to the others will be a mistake...

    If they do follow through with these plans for all these DVC bldg.'s and such, don't you think the POLY will lose its quiet, relaxing and laid back feel that all the POLY lovers love? It most definitely will become way more crowded and with a 5 story bldg...well...doesn't seem like that will...

    Hoop De Doo Musical Revue

    It's $5 more pp for cat2 and $9 more pp for cat1 as opposed to cat3 costing $58.99 pp...not a really big deal i guess. When we 1st did this show in 05 I don't remember having to pick a category...it was all one price. It was on a 1st come 1st served basis as I can remember. I booked on the 180...

    Raglan Road or Trex

    I was kind of having the same dilemma as the OP. What a great idea to stop by for dessert so you can still get to experience the TRex thing. This is why I love these boards. You get so many ideas and answers. Makes our WDW trips so much more magical! pixiedust:

    How much did your "Value" vacation cost you?

    8 nights at POLY LV w/7 day PH w/waterpark for 3 of us $4782. + $1019. for airfare = $5801. ! :scared1: That does not include food, shopping, taxis and towncar....so approx. total should be $7300-$7800. Looking at that total makes me crazy :crazy2: Just trying not to think about it and gonna...
