so after i meet back up with Chris and Shawn we all lay down and rest see a patern here
and then over sleep again and RUN RUN RUN to epcot for our 6pm ressie at le cellier. We got there at 558pm checkin and wait 25 min for our table. Anthony ds2, is cranky again and speaking loudly which he does when he struggles with his words. Stephanie was one of the hostess and said came over and talked to him and was great. Brigette was our server and she was great. The meal was very nice.


After we went in to epcot. Chris and I went right for the margarita stand. ( several times) Then the biys did test track while anthony and I shopped in mousegears. We hit a few other places and just took our time.

We did not stay for illuminations. We went back to the lodge and grabbed some snacks and watched the EWP. I love that. We could see it from the lounge. Shawn didnt wanna go to bed so he sat up with me on the balcony and watched the castle changed colors which is sooo cool.

today we went to MK in the morning. It was nice and we did all the kids favs
SW, buzz, POC, Mickeys phil, btmrr I got a cherry slush that was FAB and a dole whip. We ate at with mr sonny eclipse and it was good. We went back to the room in the afternoon for naps and chillin. We woke around 430 and got ready for epcot. We had dinner ressies at alfredos. It was great. We really like it there. We were seated right away and the water danielle was good. It started to POUR like I have never seen. It was not letting up. We decided to buy ponchos and go back to the lodge. We stayed pretty dry with the ponchos. We took the monorail to TTC and then went over to MK as it started to break up. It was still raining but not bad. Chris and Shawn decided they wanted to stay and ride SM and other stuff. Anthony and I left. We back to the lodge, I gave him a bath and we chilled out in the lounge chatting with people and the staff. Lisa played with Anthony and Shawn everyday. She was great. Chris and shawn came back late and Anty and i were sleeping. I had tried to get anty to sleep with me to get back at chris. The night I went and did the laundry I came back and all 3 of the guys were in the bed and I had to sleep on the bottom bunk. I wasnt happy but they all looked so cute I couldnt move them.

anyone for some tea
me please

Great trip report! Sounds like you guys had a blast!

I am booked for concierge end Nov/beg. Dec... can't wait!

Do you have to request the fridge to be stocked? If so, do you have to pay for it and do they ask you what you want?

Thanks for the info... I hope I get a room with a view like you did... I don't know if I want bunk beds though... DS is 9 and kind of big... was your son comfortable in the top bunk?

Thanks for the info!

Hi, Kelly! Great TR! I am looking forward to reading more!

 

[scanne]

Wow. I love the view from your room! We were in room 4004 in July and could see the fireworks but not the castle.

We are staying at the Polynesian in concierge next summer. From your report (and other concierge reports) I know I'm going to LOVE it and won't stay non-concierge after that.

Thank you for sharing your trip and pictures. Your kids are adorable.

With the fridge i dont know
we asked for them to put water juice ande soda in it as we are the type to stay out late, we and we knew the lounge would be closed. I emailed Brandon and asked for it and OFFERED to pay for this service. It was done for us at no charge.

ETA i slept in the bottom bunk one night and was fine ds7 loved the top bunk
it was also good for storage

The beds were full of gifts for the kids and our bed had a gift basket from the IPO staff as well. It was a great way to start our trip there. DS7 is a jack freak there were some gifts I knew about and some that I didnt. Brandon really went above and beyond for Shawn. A jack clock, bag, shirt , hat, they both had a bucket full of candy and snacks and ds2 had a large Donald stuffed animal on his bed.

Just a quick question: Were all these items in your room when you checked in? I tried to have things in the room at the Poly and they were delivered after we checked in and I happened to be in the room by myself (surprises for DH) luckily. Would they have left them there if we hadn't been in our room? Just curious for future reference.

 

[SeussicalSollaSollew]

Kelly, I enjoyed your report and pics. Glad you had a wonderful stay. I have to say I am really happy for you that the IPO team came thru for you. I had my doubts because I don't understand why they (Brandon and a few others) dropped the ball totally on me (lost CC info and all request info etc) and have turned us off to the Poly for a llong time to come. Glad it did work out for you and yours. Hope they remain consistant with their new and improved service. The WL room looks lovely & your view is gorgeous. I didn't realize you could see the castle from WL.

Must you continue to dwell on this issue you had such a long time ago? Just drop the issue and move on with your life!

LOL, I have moved on. No more Poly for me. GF all the way. That's where the consistenly fabulous service is.

So, are YOU still working Poly concierge?? Is that why my expressing my disappointment with Poly concierge bothers you so much that you follow me and harrass me all over these boards?? You have issues. You need to get a life. I actually think you're pretty creepy.

Have no clue what you are talking about I never have and never will work for Disney. I do have friends that work in the resorts though that I hear this kind of stuff from. And talk about getting a life, I have one outside of these boards thank you unlike some! I do not, I repeat once more in case you can't catch it DO NOT follow people all over the boards, it just irks me that people consistantly continue to hang all over things that happen in the past. I never understood it but hey maybe that's just me. Either way I'm not trying to start a fight with anyone on here, so have a nice life with your cute pooch in the pics!

Today is day 4 of our journey we are going to Animal Kingdom
we love AK and are feeling good to go after taking our time getting up and heading over to the lounge for breakfast and then down to the bus. I dont know what it was but this place was pakced already and it was 9am.

It is hot today, and it always seems hotter at AK.
We get our stroller and hit the trails and meet some characters. I go get in line for FP for the safari. Funny a HUGE line to just get FP. We hit tough to be a bug and some other stuff. Shawn wanted Mcdonalds so I waited in line for 30 minutes to get that and then we did the safari again. We missed alot here this year. We didnt do everest, lion king or many of the other things we had planned.

Finally we left and went back to the Lodge. This was the only time we stood on the bus all week. It was pakced. We went back to the room and took showers and naps. We woke up later hit the lounge, pool and aracade.

We really wanted to take our time this trip thats another reason we did the 10 nights instead of the 7 we usually do.

You will love this part. We get down and pick 2 chairs over by the kids pool. there is nothing on them. I start to get the baby ready to go in when a woman comes up taps me on the shoulder and says that one of those chairs is hers. I am sorry but I hate that atttiude like thats mine. Its a chair. I said im sorry i didnt know that and only put my stuff down here as there was NOTHING on the chair. Shw proceeds to tell me its her chair and her Dh will need it and before I can take my stuff off it she throws some stuff down on it and walks away. I wanted to slap this lady. They werent using the chair, she and her 2 adult kids were in the pool the Dh was no where to be seen. She kept staring at me and to be honest it really made me uncomfortable. They never used the chairs the whole time we were there and the DH came by with his camera and then went to the bar. This left a bad taste in my mouth as the way she approached me was RUDE and there was a better wayt o handle this. If you want the chair claim it lady i am not a mind reader and no idea the chair was yours. Please.

We watched the electric water pageant and just chilled the rest of the night. Then we went over to MK for alittle and did POC and some smaller rides for the Ds2. It was a nice night.

Enjoying your trip report. How did you like WL? We have loved it in the past but Poly is our new favorite. Sory about the rude woman, she needs to get a life .Yes the lady at the pool,

Deleted my comments.

It sounds like Kaysmommie was talking about the rude lady at the WL pool not you.

Thanks for clarifying. Honestly, I hadn't read anything on this thread for a long while, but I knew that Suess guy was directing his comments at me. I am just feeling "beat up" by that creepy Suess person. I felt bad that my post would be taken as "rude" because I had "talked" with Kelly for a bit before her trip, so it wasn't like I posted out of the blue.
