ALOHA! The Poly FAQ~ Spring 2010 Edition

[Luv2trav]

We were fortunate to get 3rd floor. I think if I were on the 1st directly below us I would be very upset for even LV. Other than that room it's all great views. I may never change again.

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.

Sounds heavenly! Have fun!!

Hey Everyone!

I was hoping the POLY experts could steer me in the right direction...

1) We are a group of 3 ladies staying from Sept. 5-8th. We'd love a balcony, and be close-ish to the pool, and don't necessarily need to be VERY close to the GCH. Any recommendations??

Also,

2) I had heard that the lounge entertainer was given a pink slip, but was wondering if they've replaced him. Do they have evening entertainment to sip a Lapu to after the parks close??

Thanks ever so much!

Liesa

Hey, Liesa! (Rosie's friend here)

We will also be 3 ladies at the Poly, only in December After about 10 stays I'd have to say Tokelau is still my favorite Longhouse - many of the rooms have lovely views and the 2nd and 3rd fl both have a balcony.

We like Tokelau because it is peaceful, yet a short walk to both the GCH and TTC. The quiet pool is on one side if the Longhouse, with garden and semi-lagoon views (classified as GV view) on both sides. It is a short walk to the main pool along the beach or through the path.

An other great GV is Figi - these have wonderful marina views on one side and the end of the lagoon and GF on the other....so you could not go wrong with either longhouse. Here's how I'd list my request:
1. balcony
2. Tokelau or Figi

Have you checked out Tikiman's site? He has the lastest news and lots of info and photos of each Longhouse:

Happy Planning and Easter Blessings!

Hi Christine! Of course I recognize you from Rosie's place!

Thanks for getting back to me so soon!! It's probably time for maroo to call in our request, and we'll probably be asking for one of these. Both had caught my eye from TikiMan's pages. The other one that had caught my attention was the one that's really super long that starts with A- I won't pretend I have the foggiest clue how to say or spell it.

Anyway, getting resort photos, relaxing one morning (just resort time- pool, etc...), hanging out at the Tambu with stiff drink one night.... AHHHHHHhhhh, I can't wait!!!!!!

If you are on the 3rd floor, they gave you a theme park view. There is only 1 LV room on the 3rd floor and it is at the far end of the hallway. You can look on Tikiman's site to see which rooms are LV and which are TPV.

S i g h!!!!
I am so ready to be at Poly. Breezy I come here often to look at your pics and dream and remember.
We are taking the whole family this time (9 of us in all), getting 3 rooms, (Hopefully at the Rapa Nui building...that is the one next to the TTC right?)
I am ready for my Dole Whip, and pineapple drink...sorry forgot the name. The smells, the sound of the music and the waterfall.....so nice. The taste of those pancakes too.

ok guys, I finally uploaded my pics from February! I'm slowly getting them on photobucket, but not sure how to post here. I right clicked on the picture and hit properties, but it's giving me an http:...address. Don't I need a different format to actually get the picture here, and if so, how do I do that? I have a few good pics...my camera's not the greatest, but they're still nice!

Photobucket has a nice feature where it actually gives you the image code (....on each side of pic) where you can copy it and then paste it here.:thumbsup2

Can't wait to see them :goodvibes

 

[BreezysMom]

I just wanted to say

Happy Easter!

To the Poly FAQ!

Have a wonderful weekend!

 

[danyella522]

Oh, yes, our very first Poly stay in 1981 or was it '82....anyway we were put in Aotearoa and let's say it was not our best stay ... we had a patio room with bushes covering the patio completely - it was creepy.

They offered to move us the next day b/c of the family of roaches crawling up the wall, told us to leave our luggage in our room and be out by 8 a.m., go directly to the front desk for a new room. We did what they asked, but were told no room until at least 4, then it was to the room directly above the first room, no balcony. Aotearoa is not our favorite longhouse.

Ok, it worked! Thanks Breezysmom! I have some good shots around Aotearoa that you can add to the first page if you'd like I'm off now, but I promise to post more when I'm back later. Have a great weekend everyone, hope you are all well and enjoying some beautiful Spring Weather!

Gorgeous!! Thanks so much!!

 

[All7OfUs]

So.... anyone know about the current line up for lounge entertainment?? Do they still have someone in there who plays and sings?? Like Kaleo used to... sigh.....

 

[Minnie&Nana]

I thought I read in a newsletter that he was back part time...but not 100% sure, so did not mention it...hope someone knows for sure!

 

[All7OfUs]

THanks, Christine! I'll wait to see if someone knows for sure. Meantime I'll keep my fingers crossed, and maybe post something over on the Main Resorts board.

Happy Easter everyone! It's a beautiful day in central Vermont - 78 degrees and sunny! Can't believe it!!!
