Of course, the more the merrier. Though I'm not sure if being Poly exclusive would be a good idea ... we don't want to promote our fav resort too much ... that volacano pool can be too crowded at times as it is! We could gently direct our clients towards "suitable alternatives" ... Poly can be the staff accommodations.

Sounds as if you will be checking in with everyone else rather than the private check-in at Hawaii. . .just a guess since I've not seen it before. It seems to be the computers in Hawaii don't work with the computers out front for the online check-in service.

As I have said before on this page and the concierge thread--there is no need to do online check-in when you are staying CL level.

I would guess if you checked in with bell services then you will be sent to CL for check-in.

 

[DreamnDisney]

huh?

when I made my ressie the CM put Rabbi in front of my name instead of Miss. When your a priest they sometimes come with a group or a convention. I basically had to go through a different website where you choose how you booked your trip in order to check in online. I had to pick an option that said "booked with a convention/group", it was the only way I could use online check in.

 

[Tinkerbellie16]

I'll head up the Canadian branch! With all the info I've picked up on the DIS my DH is always saying I should have my own Disney planning business!

I sent my 'Mouse Tips' doc out to a friend that is coming to Disney with us this fall (their first time!!!) and he is already trying to figure out how to sell it! It's 76 pages long so it is almost a guide book size. I ended up booking him and his wife's whole trip. My husband thinks I should get a commission. But isn't it funny how we do this but to us, it's FUN??? Not work

Thanks for clearing that up. We were all stumped! 6 days to go for you!!!!! I head to Alaska tomorrow but all I can think about is Disney.... I know, it's a sickness!

I would totally use you guys as my resources...hey don't we do that now?? For my hundreth post I have a Poly question....My youngest will turn 3 right before we leave for our trip. Can we still get a pack and play for him to sleep in? He is still in his crib at home and since he hasn't tried to climb out we are in no hurry to change him to a bed. Since he sleeps like a wild man we don't want to take a chance with just using the siderails on the bed. Plus not too sure they would help cause he always turns upside down at night and ends up at the foot of the bed anyway

Why yes you can! They won't be asking you for a birth cert to prove your sons age! Plus they really don't care why you want a pack and play! They just know you want one..

Time is running out! post your dates if you are going in June!

I'm flipping out from waiting!! I'm so excited for my Poly trip, I spend every day going over longhouses because i'm so nervous!! I don't want a parking lot view, i'd rather be "in the resort" my top 3 longhouse choices are Tokelau, Tahiti and Samoa just because of their placement in the resort. I'm going to be a nervous wreck at check in!! LOL

 

[beautifultomorrow]

My only suggestion is to schedule them in the early evening or morning when it is not hot. Our session was at 4 PM and the heat and sun caused a lot of squinting and some complaints from my kiddos but the photographer handled it great. Good luck!

Do you know how late in the evening you can schedule a session? Also, from start to finish how much time should I allow for this? I know the actual photo session only lasts so long, but I wasn't sure if you sit around and pick out photos afterwards, wait for the cd to be made, etc?

Thanks!

I know the feeling! I keep trying to think of things I can do to get ready that don't involve packing. If I got the suitcases out with WDW in mind, I think my husband would have me committed. At least we have a busy summer planned until August gets here.

Okay it really is time for me to panic! 5 days till we leave and I can't find my suitcases! I guess we go and all wear hawaiin shirts from the gift shop for eight days!

Have you found them yet? To be honest, it wouldn't bother me to have to buy all new shirts at Disney.

 

[jenn-n-okla]

I am SO stoked. We will be there on June 2 and boy am I ever ready!
Few quick questions that I can't remember the answers to.
How much is daily internet access? DH HAS to know.
And isn't it Rapi Nue that is closes to the TTC?

 

[PolyndianPrincessJes]

How much is daily internet access? DH HAS to know.

I think it's $9.95 per 24-hour period.

Have a blast!!!

What about for say June 2- 10 is there an entire stay price?
I refuse to let him pay $90 for the internet.

There is no package. It's $9.95 a day. It is provided by a different contractor. Disney has nothing to do with it. You can also pay by the hour but that could get really expensive! I don't know if you have it in your area but we have a couple companies that provide 3G access to the internt for laptops. Verizon and Clear offer this at reasonable prices!
