We Converted!...well at least we plan on it!! DH and I just decided to take the POLY PLUNGE!! We LOVE POFQ, but have decided to upgrade to the POLY for a 3 night stay post- Dream cruise next summer!!
cant tell how excited i am, and I am so thankful for all of your invaluable information and lovely pictures you have shared. I think I have decided on Tokelau as a request for our longhouse. I cant wait to plan this very special trip for my family!
Looking foward to all things POLY!

Have fun Poly planning!!
My first time staying CL and I am SUPER excited! 
So... will someone be waiting on us when we arrive? Will I get the golf cart ride to my room? Is there alcohol in the CL lounge? Give me the goods because this is all new! I appreciate any information! OH... and does anyone have pics of the lounge? 
OK... I just switched to the Poly Garden View CL!
TIA!
What is the charge limit for CL? Is it the same? $1500?
On a lighter note.. We are in the same boat. I live in Philly as well. Center city area. Welcome to disboards!

No, no one will be waiting for you. But when you arrive at the poly you go to the bellhop desk in front of the poly. This is what it looks like!
As far as the golf cart ride..sometimes they give you the ride and sometimes they don't. Every time we have gone we have gotten the golf cart treatment but I ha e heard of others that have not.
As far as Alcohol- beer can be requested throughout the day, just ask for it. Some alcohol, wine and the famous poly punch is available in the evening.
Some lounge pics are available on page one here. But I have a couple I can post for you.
This was done by chef dick as a decoration for the CL I do t known if the new chef is doing this or not.

This is a pic of the lounge. If you look close you can see the castle through the window.. The view is heavenly!
Hope this helps.. And hopefully it doesn't make the wait seem longer!!
I did put kahlua in my caffe mocha many nights for sipping on the balcony! Hubby also brought a bottle of grey goose that we had in our room - he added his to the cranberry juice from the lounge and I added mine to the lemonade. Yummy!!

We are a family of 5 so DH sat up front with DS on his lap and I sat in the back with the two girls. The driver brought us around by the marina first and then around to the Volcano pool area before we got to Hawaii. He was very imformative and pleasant.
