ALOHA! The Poly FAQ~ Spring 2010 Edition

[ZuZugal]

I would like to know how I go about pre-ordering the photopass CD. I noticed that someone posted that they pre-ordered the CD for $99. On the photopass site the CD is listed as 145.99 with a special of 15.00. I am interested in doing the photopass but really don't know where to start.

I have been planning our first trip to WDW for about six months. My husband and I have kept it a secret from our kids the whole time. Well tomorrow is the day that we tell them because we leave on Wednesday. I am just so excited I just can't wait to see their little faces when they hear the news. We have never been on a plane either so this just adds to the excitement.

Keeping a secret from DD9, DS5 and DD4 has not been easy but I just love the excitement. I can't wait to get to the Poly and experience all the great things that I have read about.

here is a link to the page that has tons of info on the photopass, as well as a direct link to the $99 offer page. http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disneysphotopass/

WE'RE BACK!!!!! Just rolled in tonight after a very long travel day! I'll post some pics and a mini review when I get myself organized but for now, it's all about laundry, hugging the kitties and the dog and enjoying the cool Vermont weather!

Oh my gosh I'm leaving for the Poly in 3 days and I haven't started packing yet, I have so much to do before we leave! I am excited to get to the Poly and just enjoy relaxing but I cannot get motivated to start packing, it's ridiculous.

I just wanted to let you all know, if you are on twitter, you can follow me @ThisIsMe783 I'll be updating from the Poly via my twitter account, I'll try to post pictures and little updates from the resort and possibly the parks.

I'll try and update on this thread via my iphone if I have decent 3G coverage, but sometimes twitter is just easier.

What? Havents started packing yet?? LOL My trip is 51 days away and its a struggle NOT to start packing already! JK! Have a wonderful time cant wait to hear your review!

 

[MissLiz]

I'm with you, bluejasmine! We don't leave for 59 days and I'm wanting to pack already!

It doesn't help that a bunch of stuff is still sitting out from our trip in May. It's probably going to take me about 5 minutes to pack. We still have our shampoo and conditioner in the travel containers AND in a ziploc bag.

I was procrastinating putting everything away and then the chance for another trip came up and well, it's now called organizing, not procrastinating.

Same here and we're 60 days away!

BabyFu18, I'll be following you on Twitter, can't wait to live vicariously through your trip! Have a great time!

Granted we don't go until Dec, but if I were to start packing early, I would end up taking too much. So, I normally pack the day before. That way I don't over think everything.

My family and I spent June 27-July 8 at the Poly CL for the first time. We had a wonderful time!

I wish all of you who have your trips coming up as special a trip as I had!!

Just a note for my fellow August Poly peeps: I saw they've added some second showings of Fantasmic throughout the month.

Be my guest!!

It's all about the way you view something.

Count me in too! I've already got a couple of bags packed. Just making sure we've got all those 'extras' like...light up glow cubes for our drinks and light up "glasses"

 

[TheNewMrsB]

Actually, I don't pack until a couple of nights prior to the trip - what I do is make a ton of lists. I'm a big, big list maker. One for clothing, one for toiletries, one for misc - and I'm always writing fresh ones. Sometimes I even go through pics of past trips in order to refresh my memory as to what I may have missed last time around, or what may come in handy now (for instance, I'll pack the ace bandage DH had delivered to the resort last year to wrap his sore foot - you just never know if you'll need it again). And it's just the two of us, I can only imagine what it will be like when kids enter the picture.

Tinkerbellie - Yay, we're going at the same time! Maybe we'll see each other at the pool! I'll be the one with the banana cabana in one hand...and a pina colada in the other

 

[MarieTheCat24]

Hello Fellow Poly Lovers!!! I can't believe it, but we'll be checking in at the Poly in 3 days!!! It's my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE resort, and I can't wait to get back there!

Anyway, I thought I'd let you all know that I will be tweeting from the parks (and the Polynesian ) during my stay, so if you're interested, feel free to follow me HERE.

Hi Marie! We will be right behind you. Not sure when you are leaving, but we may be arriving as you are leaving. We arrive Sunday Aug 1, bright and early at 830am. We'll be exhausted from being at the airport at 5am, but I am sure that once we arrive to our Poly HOME, the excitement will take over!

I am going to follow you on twitter to check out your updates... get me more excited about my trip.

Good luck and have lotttttttttttttts of fun!! I know we will!

 

[MCDomzal]

Hey, JenJen,
We arrive 7/31! See you there!

I'm thinking that we will be there about the same time as well! Since we are doing a quick weekend trip, we may catch only the beginning or tail end of some of you guys.

 

[bluejasmine]

Cool! Hey anyone going to be at the Poly Sept 10-18th PM lets see if we can get a group together to have a few drinks around the pool or somewhere at the resort!
