We are thinking about bringing the Wii along for my son for our upcoming vacation. The parks close early while we are there, and my youngest will crash around 8, and we'll want to keep our 5 year old quiet and wind him down in the room in the evening after fireworks. Not to mention it will give us a break mid-day when the youngest is napping as well. Is it possible to hook a game system up to the TV's?
Thanks!
I sent an Email to the Poly IPO office and this is how they replied:We are thinking about bringing the Wii along for my son for our upcoming vacation.

MsStinkerBelle- You are in Disney right now? Oooh I am SO jealous of you!
I am sure this info is already on here somewhere, but standard rooms do not have DVD players correct? Can one be hooked up? DD3 loves her Disney movies - and we like the break it gives us!!!
MsStinkerBelle. I will make that my only request. Sounds funny but we really need any/all the help in the mornings to get ready. We are not morning people
You are correct--the standard rooms at the Poly do not have DVD players. But yes, you can hook one up. There are video component cable outlets built into the TV that you can use to connect your portable DVD player to it. Just make sure to bring your component cables that came with your portable DVD.
Thanks for the post, I wonder why IPO indicated that it might be hard to reach the ports. Maybe all the concierge rooms are note the same configuration?? "Wii" shall see !
Only GV was available for my dates also, but I was curious the price diffence btwn GV and TPV. Would you mind sharing? Maybe I should call and see if it is available for our dates....
We get to stay at the Poly for the 1st time. We usually stay at SoG (DH is millitary) but decided to splurge wth the 4/3 deal. I have always wanted to stay here. We booked a standard gv room. Without looking thru 100+ pgs, can one of you poly experts give me any advice on your favorite house to request? I think I will probably be happy with whatever they give me upon check-in. We are so excited.
I am wondering the same thing...Good Poly GV room. I've looked at the info on this thread, but there is sooo much! (Which is a good thing) I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what to request.
I just want to make sure I have a balcony w/ a decent view. We will be spending a lot of time on it while the baby is asleep at night and napping during the day. Secondly, I'd like to be near the volcano pool. Other than that, not too picky. Would be nice to be near the lounge, but seems like the building there doesn't have balconies...if I understand correctly. Any suggestions anyone? Who has stayed in a GV room that they liked?
You should try calling. When we booked our trip, GV was the only thing available. When I called on Dec 30, TPV and Lagoon view club level were both now available. I snapped up TPV about $800 more. But it's our first true POLY stay (having always done the Epcot resorts in the past) and I want to have a great view. DH is a major Epcot resort lover. If I told him I switched us to the YC or the BC I think he'd be thrilled beyond words...its the kids and I that are pushing for the POLY, and he has been ok with it because he's all about giving us what we want.
I hope that having a TPV will make up for not being able to walk into Epcot for a beer in England.
I think I'm going to keep the first floor request and just leave the building to chance. What do you all think?
I've stayed at the Poly twice in GV and my recommendation is Fiji, 2nd or 3rd floor, Marina side!
That is the view from Fiji 2317, 2nd floor marina side. Its absolutely breathtaking. You can hear the boats as they come in and see the volcano pool erupt!
Thanks, that is just what i wanted to know! I'm gonna pass though...$800 is a lot more $$ considering I already upgraded us (extra $1200) from CSR. Think I will wait until another time for the TPV. I'm suprised it is that much more $$ b/c a TPV Tower room at CR was only $1600 more than our CSR room. So for Poly TPV it would be a total of $2000 more than CSR. Wonder why CR is much cheaper.

TinkerBelle, Does this room have double sinks?
Is this from a balcony? We really need a balcony!
The answer to that is YES! I brought my daughter's Wii to keep her busy when we take our breaks from the parks. Here are a few photos illustrating what I did:
