Not sure why you say there really isn't a way to call the resort directly. 407-824-2000 gets you there. For special requests, I wouldn't call during their busy, busy periods. Those are during check-out starting as early as 8:00a.m. all the way to late check-ins at 7:00pm. Call between 7:00pm...

1. MK- local monorail and it sometimes starts earlier than an hour before. 2. Epcot- you may be able to walk to TTC if your studio is over that way. 3. Yes on Disney Studios and Animal Kingdom 4. No on buses to MK and No on EP. Buses would take forever. Monorails run at no more than 5-7 minute...

Yep, you only get the one set. But, on the 4th day if your stay is longer than that, you get a "trash & tidy". Been a member since 1993 and I still can't remember what all they do besides trash take-out, maybe vacuum and I think swap your towels. There's a laundry room in I can't remember which...

Based upon your description of the room type, it is not a DVC based room. It's actually in the hotel.

You can either take the local monorail (resort inside loop) from Poly 2nd floor or if you are at the end close to TTC, just walk over there to take local. It's actually closer than walking up front. Do NOT do the boat. Way crazy with off-property and it won't run as early as the monorails will...

How new are the 5 options when doing online check-in? When we went Feb. 2016, it was pretty much nil as far as special requests. But, I could have just missed it too.

I am member at Poly. Like renting DVC points vs. booking on a cash basis directly with Disney, you will only pay 55-65% at DVC vs. Disney cash price. You have to take the 12.5% tax into consideration when booking with Disney. That adds up. You can book on DVC side. You have to look for a listing...

Is Fiji one of the DVC longhouses? Member but not sure without looking at map.

I am a member at OKW and at Poly (1st and last). I need to book reservations at Poly for christmas/new years period in next couple of days before it is available for 7 month window.

Not too much. I have actually requested specific room #'s. I call front desk directly and have them add to reservation. I give them anywhere from 4-5 room #'s. I do this so I can book a standard room but get a room down at the end of a longhouse towards the water. Had a nice view of water and GF...

Most definitely. The 1st one closest to the entry door has a sink, the toilet and a tub/shower. This is huge. The 2nd one has another sink and the very nice shower. It is not large enough for a playpen. BTW, units have pack-n-plays in them already. If a unit doesn't have one, it is because...

If you look at the map, one of the houses is perpendicular to the water (end with exits on the ends). It's also the same closest to the "quiet" pool. And obviously the ones off the water are standard view.

Don't forget about the picnic tables. Were completely clean. But, if you are going in summer- oh my.

Poly now only has fridge only units in the studios.

I know there's a depth of around 4' or 4'6" in the main pool under the waterfall. I think the depth is similar to the other pools without this one exceeding 3'6" in depth. If you look at the images here, the zero entry area is in the east end of the pool where the aeration fountain is located...

Chatted with Auntie at length. She has been at WDW since opening in 1971. She is originally from Maui and most of her family lives in Orlando area and some apparently work at Disney too. We talked about the flowers she uses to make the leis (mainly carnations) and she is dismayed that she...

Just booked 8 nights in a studio at the POLY for our next trip in July. This will be our first time staying at the POLY or any of the monorail resorts for that matter and I am supper excited. :tigger: We own at SSR and have stayed there many times. We have also stayed at OKW, BW & Kidani and...

main pool at Poly has the new kiddie area. Also, as another post of mine indicates, the quiet pool at Poly opens on the 12th of March. Zero entry pool for a large part of it. Considering ages- MK is so close with monorail both distance and especially time wise. Even with car driving to MK...

I think most of the housekeepers will give you extra stuff if you see them in the hallway and ask. Always seem to come home with plenty. FYI- My wife feels the hard soap at Disney is extremely drying to the skin. She hates it and always uses her own. Not sure about the bottled body wash- not...
