Had to change our vacation week to 8/14-8/21. Lost our room at AKL and are now staying at Poly. A little nervous because we love AKL so much. Please tell me we will like the Poly

The ride home wasn't bad-if you don't mind riding the bus. We got in line about 11:15 and waited about 5 mins for the bus. We were dropped off first, before the folks at The Grand. Yes, the bus was crowded. I would definitely recommend not waiting until EMH closing. Tonight they closed at midnight so we had a little bit of time to spare. Like I said, not bad for a bus ride on the first night of implementation. They had it signed very well, but I had to laugh at those oblivious folks that were trying to walk up the monorail ramps, practically stepping over the signs that said it was not running .I'll be interested in hearing how your adventure back to your resort goes with the new system....post if you can!!!

Just booked a Cabana for DH's birthday - so excited!!!
Now - just to decide if $500 is worth it to upgrade from regular GV to CL GV

What a great check-in you had! I can't believe they gave you the exact room you requested. It's usually never a good idea to request a specific room number because if it's not available, the room assignor doesn't know why you requested it and can't easily put you into a similar room. You must have been just giddy to get that TPV upgrade.Checked in to the Poly this past Saturday. I had requested Tokelau, room 2913. I used the online check-in three days before departure.
To my utter amazement when we arrived via Disney Magic Express we were greeted by name and ask to follow them to the special on-line check in desk where Bailey was waiting with our check in packet. we were given room 2913 in Tokelau just as requested. We were all over joyed to have the Best GV room in the resort.
We were just about to walk away and I was asked why I requested that room... I told her that I had researched it here on the DIS board and found that 2913 had a good sideways porch view of the castle. She says to me " Would you like a castle view?" And after I said yes, she bumped us to Tuvalu third floor.... full Castle view, unobstructed, right on the water!!!
I had no idea what I was getting since this is our first time to stay at the Poly...until I walked into the room and opened the sliding glass door. Wow.. Just incredible.
I'll post pics when I get back home.
We ate at O'hana that night and it was just amazing. The food was great.
Poly is a fantastic place to stay and the girls love it. Quiet pool is or hang out and we have been virtually alone there each day from 10 am till 1pm. Wierd for July.
I checked with Front Desk and was advised that the resort was at 60% capacity. I checked again today, 7/13 cause it seemed more crowded and was told that the resort was at 72% and going up each day. the weekend is supposed to be real busy... they are calling in all cast members and we were told they are expecting record crowdes all next week. Even giving folks 30% off coupons if they will eat off property.
This coming to you live from the Poly... more later!!
