    BouTiki - Dad Hat

    I’m heading to the Poly in early August. I plan on buying a quintessential Poly dad hat either before or during our trip. Before would be from Etsy, during would be from BouTiki. Is there anyone at the Poly right now that would be willing to upload pictures of hats currently for sale? Thank you...

    Add-On-Itis / ROFR

    My wife and I purchased 150 riviera points direct in October on board the magic. There was an $11 per point off incentive and I’ve been on her forever and she finally let me pull the trigger! We just did our first point stay end of January into early February. Somehow we pulled off a miracle...

    Am I Stupid?

    My wife and I just bought our first DVC contract late last year for 220 points. Our home resort is the Polynesian. We have more than enough points to book a LV studio for a week during the times of year we want to travel. But we have three young boys (nearly 8, 5, and nearly 3.) So as they get...

    Specialty coffee at GF

    We’re officially one week out (yay) and while making my morning latte it occurred to me that I am not sure Grand Floridian has a specialty coffee shop. We’ve stayed at the Poly and I adored their coffee cart, and the contemporary has Joffreys in the lobby which fit my latte needs. Is there a...

    Second Home Resort

    My wife and I are closing on our first contract next week and I’m already considering a second contract. Our first is 220 points at Poly. We (I) made the decision to buy into DVC after our first visit to WDW as a family this year. We stayed at OKW with my parents who treated us. I really enjoyed...

    Just Bought in at Polynesian

    My wife and I just had an offer accepted on a Polynesian contract for 220 @ $149 per point. I keep seeing posts about the Polynesian having no ROFR’s from Disney. But from what I can tell, $149 seems like a good deal. One resale calculator said the points are worth around $168. Is there any...

    Trader Sam’s at 10pm Strategy?

    I see lots of posts about Trader Sam’s at 3pm…but what if in our ideal situation we wanted to be at Trader Sam’s at 10pm, what is the best strategy for getting in at that time? In a nutshell, we’re eating dinner at Contemp, then watching fireworks from our balcony there, then ideally would love...

    Will Poly DVC Construction Impact Hotel Experience?

    I am planning to stay at the Poly in June 2023. Anyone know if the construction of the adjacent high rise DVC property will disrupt the experience of those staying at the resort during that time? Like will it be loud and/or an eyesore? I am considering changing my reservation to the Contemporary...

    Post Covid poly club level

    Hey all! I was searching high and low for a poly reservation. I found a bunch of club level rooms. I’m curious if anyone has stayed in them after Covid. I know they mention you get an additional fast pass BUT that’s gone so I’m wondering what you get in it’s place. Probably nothing lol. Seems...

    Disney

    Hi, my husband and I are DVC members! Due to our schedules, right now it works best for us to vacation in August. I will potentially be 35 weeks pregnant in August with a October 5th due date with our first baby. We would like to do one last vacation before the baby. Is this insane?? We...

    Park Arrival Time for a Calm Start

    Hi there, We're travelling to WDW from the UK for the first time this year, with our two young daughters (four and seven). We're staying at the Polynesian. I'm aiming to try to make the trip feel quite calm and relaxed as they can both get a bit overwhelmed if we have to rush around. So my...

    What would you do?

    Hi everyone! I am going to Disney for a week with my partner this summer (we are both in our mid twenties) and trying to decide where to stay. Since we have had to cancel quite a few trips, we decided we are going to stay deluxe this time. We plan to spend a decent amount of time at the resort...

    Poly or Beach Club in March 2021?

    Hi all! After two cancelled trips, we are most likely going ahead with our end of March vaca. It was originally 8 days at Poly, but I wanted to check out Riveria so am spending 3 nights there. With the remaining days, I also switched over to Beach Club to avoid the Poly construction, but in...

    Will the Poly be a half experience?

    We're recent DVC owners, and one huge motivation for buying was my lifelong dream of staying at the Poly (Poly stay at Pop prices, amiright?) Our intention from the beginning was to book May/ June '21 as soon as we were able, but now the refurbishment has been announced with it's rather vague...

    Resort Switch by Disney Due to Poly Closure Through Summer 2021 - Please Post Your Experiences

    Hi everyone! We have a Poly reservation for July 2021 and are hoping the resort is open by then. However, with the new announcement I wanted to start a thread of what resort people are getting switched to by Disney because of the closure, specifically from the Polynesian, so we know what to...

    Just Back-Poly/AKL/GF/CCreek Stay

    I just got back from a 2 week trip as a first time DVC owner and I had an AMAZING time! 3 adults traveling and we wanted to try the different resorts to see what we liked. We took a flight from California and it was lovely having the middle rows blocked off with extra room to stretch our legs...
