Can I join the fun? I just upgraded from POR to the Poly for our 7 day stay this June. I can't believe it. We have never stayed there, and I had a 30% off code. I am so excited. I seriously don't think I will sleep tonight. This thread was a big reason that I switched. Yay DIS
My Dad surprised us with an upgrade for our upcoming trip (from POP to Poly-whoo hoo) Have a great time!!
My husband loves going to WDW, and he is game for anything BUT messes up my very carefully and painstakingly planned itineraries without meaning to. He pays no attention whatsoever to planning. So, we'll be in a park and I'll have the day generally designed for many reasons --ADRs, crowd management -- and without thinking, he'll cluelessly get my DD5 (MUST manage expectations!) all excited about doing something completely impractical or impossible! "Hey! Let's go to the opposite side of the park to see if Stitch is there!" or "Dontcha want to go see if we can eat lunch with Cinderella?" Well, yes, but we'd have to have made that ressie 180 days ago!
) but when I went to the barefoot bar, I didn't see it on the menu. Do you have to go into the Tambu Lounge to get them?
Quick question...I read all about the Lapu Lapu prior to my trip and saw people walking around with them (didn't see any sporks though
Also, I didn't get to try the Tonga Toast, which I had wanted to. I guess I just have to go back now!
And a much more involved question...I see most of you have been to other resorts (and perhaps keep coming back to the Poly). I can't imagine myself loving any resort more. The Grand Floridian looked too big and too Victorian for my tastes, and the Contemporary looked too...ummm...80's? Of course, this is only based on my view from the monorail, so I have very little to base it on.
But for those of you who have stayed at other resorts, did you like them?
Just wait till DH gets to be a DGF. It gets worse messing up the closely laid plans only now he uses DGD to explores his last minute brainstorms. my DH always complains about going so often but then when he gets there he becomes " Mr. I know everything! Gotta love it!
He already is Mr. I know everything, but it's going to be painful when he's DGF!!!! He did tell me this morning that he is excited about WDW/Cruise and we have seven months to go!!! I need to figure out how to do that ticker thingy.

- otherwise all good.
Hhhmmmmm......very interesting.Now if he had only been really ballsy(perhaps after a few lapu lapus) and walked up and asked them what they were doing the measurments FOR....we would really get a buzz going
Seriously though, much thanks for the info,
I think the reason he didn't ask is the Lapu-Lapu - one too many and just didn't care..... we were talking with another couple who are "regulars" there and this man said his information (don't know from where but I think I've read it here somehwere before too) was the volcano pool area was "sinking" and the whole thing would have to be redone - leaking water, etc...

We were in the Tokelau longhouse, garden view and it was just okay - room was clean - a few issues with wear and tear (dings on base boards, frayed curtains). Agree with others that room lighting is a tad dark. We didn't have mousekeeping come in every day since there were only two of us - one of the days we did - a bag of garbage was left in the bathroom on the floor and we didn't get any clean glasses

We were tagged on Thursday afternoon - asked the CM what triggers this and how often and he told us it was mainly a staffing issue - if enough people were scheduled to work that day - then one would be assigned "room check duty"...
Did anyone see on another WDW website, they are showing survey balloons that were seen over the Polynesian...presumably for some sort of project? What does this mean....anyone care to speculate??
Hoping it's just a bad coincidence!
