A couple things I have noticed that have been cut in club level.
Bottled water is now history they have drinking water and they will fill your cup or the will give you a caraffe if you ask.

And the USA today paper is no longer distributed.

Carlnix - I've been enjoying your updates and hope you are having a great Poly vacation!

I'm glad to hear the update on club level. I can understand why they'd cut out the bottled water because I'm sure there's a lot of waste. But a big part of the appeal is grabbing a bottle on the way to the parks, so the change seems like a big deal!

Maybe carlnix or some other Poly Club Level pro can give me your thoughts on Poly Club Level for "low-carb" eaters. I've been considering an upgrade, but I'm worried we'll have trouble finding things to eat if we can't eat the bagels, cereal, pastries, etc. Also, do they include sugar free desserts in their evening offerings?

Thanks so much!

The bottled water that was offered in the lounge were large glass Evian bottles. Not something folks would grab to take to the parks.

I am glad that they will at least give you a carafe. I used to get one of the glass bottles and put in the room for taking medicine right before bed.

Lovin' the pictures! Can hardly wait until our trip - esp since we're freezing here right now and I could really use some FL sunshine (Heck I'll even settle for some FL rain)

I was at WDW a few weeks ago and took the ferry from the TTC to MK. I really loved being on the water and think my DD would enjoy it as an alternate to the monorail. Isn't there a smaller ferry boat that leaves from the Poly? How often does it leave and does it just go to MK? How does it compare to the larger ferry boats?

Not exactly sure how frequently the boats run but they are very regular. They're smaller than the ferries for sure. They go to MK, Grand Floridian and Poly, then back to MK.

We love taking the launch from the Poly to the MK. It's such a relaxing ride, and a much smaller boat. It leaves from the dock past the volcano pool every 15 minutes or so and takes about 10 minutes to get to the MK. It takes about 20 or so for the return trip because it stops at the GF first.

The dock from the Hawaii building:

They have fruits and some veggies, also some rice dishes. Breakfast would probably be a bust for low carb eaters.

Sorry.. But it's up now
