ALOHA! The Poly FAQ~ Spring 2010 Edition

[BreezysMom]

I am not a Costco member, but I thought I'd read on here that others were having their water orders cancelled. I have considered bringing refillable bottles--but we drink a LOT of water and I don't want to seem a pig at the CL. I will look into Staples for water delivery.

I do not think you need to be a member...but you may need to double check that. As far as the canceling, I have not heard that. I have shipped boxes to the Poly for every trip and have never had an issue.

I understand about not wanting to take too much water. I am staying CL in November and this time I will have some water shipped again like I did our first non-CL stays. There were a few times that we just wanted to grab a bottle of water without having to go down to the lounge or it was late at night.

Happy Planning

Congrats on the double-digit dance! Doesn't it feel good?

Yes! It seemed as if it was a long time coming in the dead of winter. But now, we're on a roll!

I have to share it.....I finally get to stay at my dream resort, Poly!!!!! I hope, hope, hope my husband falls in love with it, and will want to stay there from now on!!!! Oh, I have to change my ticker!!!!! Woo Hoo!

I still have to wait until 11/29, but with spring just coming in NY, the summer will fly by and November will be here before we know it!

I was just wondering something about the Longhouses. I really can't afford to pay the extra for the MK view, although the pics on here are gorgeous! I have a garden view room booked. Where should I request to stay for a nice view? Walking a bit to the bus or monorail with kids doesn't bother me at all. I would just like the best view I can possibly get! Thanks for any help! I'm sure this will be our one and only trip ever to the Poly, so I want the best experience I can get! I can't wait!!!

I requested Fiji or Samoa with a 3rd floor balcony. A lot of people on this thread said that Fiji had nice views and was convenient. We'll see.. I usually never get what I request anywhere!

I can't remember what longhouse they were at but on the first 2010 thread somone posted beautiful views of the marina. If I had to go garden view they would be it!!!

Can the op of those great pix post them again? They were lovely!!!!

if you are paying for a garden view every garden view is nice the landscaping and scenery is just so nice at the polynesian every view is a good view but if you want a marina view you can request the fiji building 3rd floor with a view of the marina

Great job on the thread BreezysMom

Quick question for you all, do you get complimentary newspapers delivered to your room, or is that just for CL?

 

[mamabright]

We got a USA Today every morning staying regular GV last week.

I can't ever remember getting a newspaper delivered. Maybe we got them and I ignored them because I was on vacation. I tend to insulate myself while in WDW!

At least my husband will enjoy the paper!

I hope you have a lovely trip!

Karen, happy and safe travels....in about 48 hours or so you will be in your room at the Polynesian!!!

 

[Luv2trav]

Just checked in today. It's so awesome. We stayed 3 nights at POP and 3 nights at BWV. Nothing compares to this. We are here for 4 nights. Wish it was longer.

We are staying LVCL and we received that exactly. We still have a great view of castle. Only thing blocked is contemporary.

I thought that is the way most LVCL rooms would work out...not the Contemporary part but the clear view of the castle. Enjoy...what a view.

Thank you!

I'm so excited I'm for joy!

Karen, have a fantastic trip! To you and anyone else going soon:

Aloha!
