Last time I stayed at Poly was a disaster:
-There was a family of four sitting at the next table to us at 'Ohana. They seemed nice enough, but they just had this "value resort" vibe to them. Ugh. I had to eat a meal amongst folks who, quite frankly, would have been more comfortable eating at Everything Pop.
-Once, while waiting to hop on the monorail, I overhead a young lady tell her husband how much she liked Poly and might stay there next time. And they were on there way back to POFQ! A Mod couple! Why should I have to breathe the same air as a Mod couple while waiting for the monorail? I would think, with the money I spent, I would not be subjected to mingling with the unwashed masses. Sure, at least they weren't another "value" group, but still -- quite annoying.
-One night, while laying on a hammock and waiting to view Wishes, the slight breeze carried a foul odor in my direction. Someone had obviously just farted. And since deluxe people don't fart, I mean break wind, I knew it had to be someone from a lesser resort! It could have been someone from a Mod, but I was thinking I knew who it was. There had to be a family there that had just eaten at the Hoop-de-Doo show. The all-you-can-eat baked beans, ribs, and fried chicken were beginning to work its magic. Some value-type family had obviously eaten at Fort Wilderness and come over to Poly for Wishes. Just as I was about to investigate from whence the value stench originated, Wishes began, and I decided to just enjoy the show.
If WDW had any brains, they would create a gated community resort where not just anybody could visit. This is Disney World for godness sakes! I should be able to escape from the peasants and the other peons out there. Let 'em go to Six Flags and leave WDW to me!
