ALOHA! The Poly FAQ: Fall 2010 Edition

[MissLiz]

Hmmm, drinks....well, we are only going to be at Epcot until lunch, so I'm not sure if drinks will be in order...maybe I'll sip a slushie on the way to the monorail? Or double-fist it and slam them both as we walk through Future World!




I think we are heading to MK that night, so I'll have to wait until after that to have any more drinks.

It's imperative to double fist it when the lines are so long to get slushies I like getting a lemon and an orange one so I can be sure to know which one I like best.

Thank you, thank you. I wish they had a flailing-about-like-a-mad-woman emoticon, that would be more accurate for my mental state. *grin*

How's this??

Edited to change the smilie I copied (that linked from another site that apparently didn't like me linking it)

Does anyone know if the lobby concierge still sells Disney Dollars?

 

[luvthemouse71]

6 days!!!

 

[BreezysMom]

How exciting so many people are going soon! This is my favorite time of the year to be at Disney and the Poly!

I can't wait to hear reviews and see new pics!

 

[Missoutandabout]

How's this??

That could be my personal motto.

Okay, back to dreaming about these fabled slushies...

 

[DisneyDoc5]

ok, where exactly are you getting the slushies your talking about? I must know, I'm planning my drinking schedule tonight!

 

[mickey2minnie1]

I will be looking for the reviews as well. I need it to help my time to pass with disney dreams still within reach.

You can get the slushies at the kiosk in France. There are three types, but the most popular seem to be the Grand Marnier orange and the Grey Goose Lemon slushies. Personally, I like the Grey Goose best, but can't say I dislike the others. You really need to put these on that drinking schedule.

Plane leaves in a few hours and still haven't finished packing! Why do I always wait until the last minute? And why am I on DIS when I should be packing?!

Hi Polynesian friends. Haven't been on here much but I'm getting excited about our next Polynesian stay in less than a month. 4 nights at the Polynesian then 5 at BCV and 3 at SSR. Can't wait to hear that music and inhale the aroma of the lobby. Ah!!! It will be our 30 something stay there.

EmCredible, have fun!!!

Hi Everyone!!

Ive been following this thread for months now and I don't have the time to catch up on here like I used (stupid wedding planning getting in the way of disney time )

But it's almost here!! This time next week i'll be a Mrs. and one week tomorrow till we check in at AKL for one night and then off to the Poly for a week in a GV CL room!!

Ive always visited the Poly since I was a little girl so this really is a dream come true for me...I am a bit worried about some peoples reviews but everyone has their own opinions - what one may find dirty, outdated, poor service another may have an excellent experience!

Either way im sure it will be a magical trip - and it is my hubbys first ever Disney experience so here's hoping I get him hooked on the Poly!!

Congrats and good luck! Don't fret about other reviews--reserve judgment and make up your own mind. Your trip will be magical because it is your honeymoon and nothing will dampen that .

It makes DH very nervous when I insist on heading to France looking for some slushies. I like the Grey Goose Lemon myself

Yep, it's the gel pillows! We emailed the company that sells them after our Poly trip last year and ordered a couple. We LOVE them!!

We loved the WDW pillows too! So are they still good after a year? Someone posted in another thread that they went flat too quickly. I personally enjoy a flatter pillow anyway.

It's imperative to double fist it when the lines are so long to get slushies I like getting a lemon and an orange one so I can be sure to know which one I like best.

ITA!! Love the slushies. One week ago today, I was enjoying these. I wish I was there again this Saturday!

You can get the slushies at the kiosk in France. There are three types, but the most popular seem to be the Grand Marnier orange and the Grey Goose Lemon slushies. Personally, I like the Grey Goose best, but can't say I dislike the others. You really need to put these on that drinking schedule.

Technically, they're both Grey Goose Slushies. One is made with Grand Marnier so it's a Grey Goose Grand Marnier Slushie and the other one is a Grey Goose Lemon slushie. (I think many people shorten the first one to simply Grand Marnier slushie.) I prefer the Grey Goose Grand Marnier one.

Congratulations. I hope you make many happy memories on your first trip to the Polynesian.

Congrats and good luck! Don't fret about other reviews--reserve judgment and make up your own mind. Your trip will be magical because it is your honeymoon and nothing will dampen that .

Exactly! Hi Tess...how are things? How was your Polynesian vacation?

Hi BCV Long time no see. Have a great trip

Hi, BreezysMom. How are you feeling?
