Well after check in everything at Poly has been down hill since then. I'm so upset I just want to cry. First we had all the issues with the dinning plan. After never receiving an apology we were told that the only option was to rebook our reservation and issue new cards but if we didn't want to wait in the lobby we could go to our room. Well we were not happy since no one even apologized and twice we had to go the front desk due to the dinning plan issue (also we had to leave Animal Kingdom early to fix the issue before dinner at HS so we didn't have to pay out of pocket and be reimbursed later) but we went to our room to wait. We figured we would make the best of it and use this time to nap and shower. Of course with our luck today it starts pouring as we are walking back to Tahiti but Disney can't control the weather. A few minutes later soaking wet we arrive at our room only to find that the ceiling panels above the fridge and coffee pot have fallen in and a pipe is leaking. Needless to say several calls later and we are still waiting. We have been moved rooms and are waiting for our new room tickets. It took a lot of calling but needless to say two big issues in one day is not a way to start a trip.
Tomorrow is our big day and I'm finishing up some final packing. I just wanted to make sure...there are small hair dryers in the room, right? Even after the renovations? Trying to keep my luggage situation under control.

The Room Only discounts are out!! I was really hoping to upgrade to CL but Poly discounts are very limited for our November dates.
I could switch to WL and save over $1000... But my heart is set on Poly. I've never actually seen either one in person, so what do I know?! I realize I'm asking Poly people, but please weigh in - what do you think about WL?
Well I talked to dh about the new codes and a trip to Disney in December. Because of my kids school schedule we would have to do several nights at rack rate. I would love more than anything to stay at the Poly in December but I have to be realistic. We are spending a ton of money on this August vacation and I can't realistically spend another 3 to 4 thousand dollars on another one in December. I think we have pretty much decided on staying at POFQ garden view. The price is right for us and it is one of the more compact prettier moderates and it has queen beds. We have stayed at CBR before but they still have double beds and we feel we would be more comfortable in queen beds. I will still visit my beloved Poly though. We have to eat at Ohana. It is a tradition on every vacation.
So excited! Just booked the poly for November staying club level garden view. First time staying @ poly and first time club level!!!! Can't wait
So I have two questions...
1)how far the walk from Hawaii to the monorail?
2)do all rooms in Hawaii have the two queens & a twin size pull out or do I need to request a room with the twin size? We have 3 adults, and 3 children (ages 5,4 & infant) so without the twin it will be a very tight squeeze.
Thanks!
Soooooo excited!!!!
We are planned for first stay GV CL too first week of Dec. have u looked at the tikiman website? He has great info.
We just booked 2 days at the Poly CL TPV in October. This is our first time at Disney with our 3 kids aged 4 1/2, 3, and 6 months. We are so excited!
well today we switched from the poly to the wilderness lodge. So sad but couldn't be avoided since my husband lost his job yesterday! Hopefully we will get to see the poly in 2015 and since we wont know what it was like before all the changes maybe it wont bother us or maybe we will walk around while we are there in October and not like it has much as the wilderness lodge. I cant see why anyone would like walking around on the beach or sleeping in a hammock anyway (NOT) Ugh I miss it already and I haven't even been there yet O well Its Disney no matter what right!

The front desk manager Marcello took care of everything and went above and beyond to make it so much better. Now as long as nothing else happens we can have a good trip.

Was on the phone 1st thing this morning 7am/ after 1 hr and 8 mins- I was able to get the room only discount for our trip!

Our new dates are 11/14 - 11/19.
Ok only 7 1/2 hours and we leave very happy can't sleep.
Hey there! How are you liking Samoa? We love the counter space too, plenty of room for all our stuff. I can't believe we only have 2 full park days left though. This week is going by too fast!!!
