Tell me what your favorite Poly activity is...what should we absolutely do or see?
We love the torch lighting ceremony!

Our kids really enjoyed the sea racers. Your two oldest would be able to drive themselves, although according to the tikiman website they would have to have a licensed driver as a passenger. If you booked a package you should have received a coupon towards a rental with your travel documents.
So glad you were able to change your flight. Have fun re-planning!
I'm excited today because I did a little looking through old posts over on the discount board and discovered that even if you don't get a flier in your room there is generally always a bounceback offered (call extension 8844!). I mentioned it to DH this morning and he agreed that if there is a good discount offered while we're there we should book not only a family trip at the Poly for 2011, but also a 10th anniversary trip for the two of us! We've already discussed the anniversary trip & would like to try GF CL TPV and a good bounce back would go a long way to making that happen!![]()
I'm thinking that we will need a "Plan B" for days that it's too hot to stay in the parks and we may want to return to the room/resort early. Has anyone ordered room service for lunch? Was the quality good? How quickly was it delivered?!
TIA!
Thanks for the great tip about the bounce-back and, yep, love the planning - makes the trip seem closer.Sending tons of wishes for what sounds like could be a Poly-filled 2011 for you and your family!

Does anyone know who usually streams the fireworks live and if they are at the Poly right now?
No WiFi at the Poly unless your lucky enough to be near someone who is paying for internet service and has hooked up a wireless router.
My other half was saying that maybe we should buy a router and just pay for the net in the room. Maybe this is a better option instead?
I'm one of the usual streamers but I do it from which ever resorts I'm staying at. Right now 3 people are down there streaming but none from the Poly there is one from OKW one from AK and one from Saratoga Springs. And one of them did do a live stream tonight from the MK of the fireworks.

Unless it has changed since we were there this past April, the minimum age to drive a sea racer is 15 and no licensed driver is needed as a passenger. Our DS was 15 when we were there in April, and he and I each took one out for about an hour.
Be very careful about doing this. Make sure you read their network/ computer use policy, to verify that this is not prohibited. (This is usually the agreement that you click on when setting up the connection, in addition to agreeing to the daily charge.)
Most networks set up like that will not allow their network to be used in that way. (Potentially, you could open it up to allow others to join your connection for free, if not created securely. Even if done unknowingly. There's just no other way to regulate and monitor usage if they allowed everyone to do this.)
I work in I.T. for a University. We are very strict about that. If we detect this was being done, we terminate their connection, and issue warnings to them, if not a penalty.
Personally, not sure why they haven't added wifi technology yet - even if it is only accessible from certain areas of each resort, when most non-disney hotels and resorts have this? I think that the contemporary at least has wifi in their lobby, why wouldn't they add this to all resorts?![]()
