Hi Everyone I'm a newbie to the boards! I leave this weekend for our first stay at the Polynesian and I read somewhere that the AC only runs if it senses motion in the room. Can it be overridden and if so, how? Thanks!

WELCOME to the Dis Boards!! :flower:


A/C over ride system….

"On the thermostat push the power button and the down arrow (that adjusts the temp) at the exact same time. If you do this correctly there willbe the letters "bp" where the temp numbers usually are. You are now bypassing the sensors in the room. You can then set the temp to whatever you want and it keeps the room that cold whether you are in it or not. The maintenance man said that you might have to do this once a day as the thermostat tends to go back to sensor mode after 24 hours. We found that it stayed on bypass for a couple of days at a time. It was great to come back to a cold room or not wake up in the middle of the night in a sweat again. The CM that did this for us said it was not a problem doing this as they do it for pople all the time. Guess they get a lot of complaints."

I have this pasted into a word document of all the great info I learn from these boards! :goodvibes

We stayed in the Polynesian last July, and I knew of the a/c, but didnt copy the directions, it was only a problem on one night for us, mostly it didnt bother us at all - I think it has something to do with the excitement of staying at the Polynesian, combined with knowing they do it to save money/energy.... :confused3
 
We were there last summer and it was near a hundred degrees out. I don't know what we did right but our two connecting rooms were FRIGID! Have fun, the Poly is WONDERFUL! :)
