ALOHA! The Polynesian Resort Information Thread: September 2012

[my2princessgirls]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone who has been this month happens to have a copy of the recreation/movie list. We just decided to add 2 nights at the end of our trip. Staying club level for the first time (TPV), and so excited!! I'm just trying to figure out which night would be better to plan to watch the movie on the beach, and also wanted to check the pool games schedule since there are a couple games that my girls really enjoy. Thanks so much!!

Guess the construction outlook for our planned January 2014 stay is not looking good. Such a bummer since we so want to stay there this time around, although we will not be able to justify paying the Poly room rate if it might be a construction scene.

Selfishly crossing the fingers that Disney takes their sweet time starting this project...

I am regretting not staying here this past April trip since i thought by next year all room renovations would be done. Now it looks like next April will be crazy with construction. Oh how i'll miss our original Poly trips

Here now and I was surprised with the Lagoon View at the Polynesian, we have a beautiful view of the water, although we can't see MK because of palm trees.

We will be there May 30-June6 at CL. My first time at CL and my in-laws first time to WDW EVER and they are 76 and 79 yrs old.
I was very lucky to get a pin code to allow us to upgrade.
I am going to try to take lots of pictures so you can see what construction is happening and other things as well but I can't promise 100%.

Self-centered post announcing my recent addition of 3 nights LV/CL to our tri-split stay. After Poly, we ride the Sea Raycer over to CR for 6 nights, then gas it up and head over to WL for 6 nights.

I requested 3rd floor, without a connecting door and then noticed that there is only one LV room in Hawaii on the 3rd floor. It looks to be without a connecting door since it's at the very end furthest from the lounge. It would be just perfect, but odds are against us for getting that one room. Our last two Poly stays we received exactly what we requested, but we weren't CL.

Looking forward to reading more CL reports from those there now or going soon

Wow, that sounds like a fantastic trip!!!

What exactly is happening in 2014 with the poly? Thinking of return trip in February 2014. We loved it there this year but from what I am reading there will be construction next winter?

We will see you in the lounge! We are there the 31st-5th.

I was just curious-- do you think they'll be adding more restaurants to the Poly resort area? Ohana, Kona and Captain Cooks already seem quite busy.

thanks!

Is the pool heated? Also what kind of coffee makers are in the rooms?

I am wondering what is to become of SOA since the one DVC building is suppose to be located where the dinner show is now?

From my understanding they are still going to have the dinner show, just a different location. From looking at the map I don't see where they would have room for it!

Exactly what I thought.

Hey y'all, I'm planning a once-in-a-lifetime Disney trip right now for my boyfriend who has NEVER been to Disney.

The only reference I've seen to a one-king-bed room is the honeymoon suite. Is it possible to request that at the Poly?

We both have kids but we're not bringing them for this trip (we're doing a week in a family suite in the fall with them).

Thanks!!

I'm not sure if you are looking for a "one-bedroom" or a regular room with a king bed instead of two queens. If it's the king bed regular room, some of the newly refurbished rooms are supposed to have been changed into King Bed rooms. If I recall Tikiman's website post correctly, they were in Samoa and Rarotonga. Enjoy your trip! Love taking first timers!

Is the pool heated?

Yes, I believe it is heated

Also what kind of coffee makers are in the rooms?

I just read tikiman s page but it isn't showing dates. Will construction be going on February 2014? Really want to stay here again but not if it is during construction.

Not a problem! I took a picture of the recreation schedule because its more nicely laid out:

I read (I can't remember if it was from Tikiman or not) that the speculation is the luau will be moved inside somewhere so that they won't have to deal with weather-related cancellations. I don't know if that would be in a reworked GCH or as part of one of the new DVC buildings (which seems unlikely because of the noise)
