I received a letter in the mail today. We check in Oct 19th. It says "Sunset Point and a portion of the beach will be unavailable. Rest assured, much of our wonderful white-sand beach will be open and accessible, providing the South Seas ambience and views of the Magic Kingdom Park that makes Disney's Polynesian Resort such an enchanting destination. All of our world class amenities, including our shops, pools, marina, and wonderful dining experiences are also still available for you to enjoy." The letter is signed by the general manager, Norman Noble.

We got this same letter today, too. We're going 11/14 - 11/19. It doesn't sound too bad & I'm still super excited for our 1st Disney trip & can't think of a more magically place to be!

We also received this same letter about Sunset pointe and part of the beach. We aren't going until December 8-15th, so it looks like everything else (restaurants, shops, pool, marina) will be available between now and then!

Greetings! Aloha! and All that Jazz!

I have a poster on the CL thread who is having a difficult time dealing with the IPO at the POLY, and wants to know who to contact about that. I would assume the GM for the resort would be the one to contact? Does anyone know his/her name and address/email address? Or can anyone help me out on who to contact with IPO issues?

Thanks!

Have them call the resort and talk to Marcello. He heads up concierge and was able to handle a problem for me also on our last trip.

We check in Oct 6 - no letter. ??

We check in Oct 12 for 8 nights and got the letter today. I'm wondering what it will do to our lagoon view from Hawaii. It seems like the far side of that building would be looking right at that area. I wish we were GV now!

We will be there at the same time! We check in October 4th and recieved that same letter today. I am sure you will get one in the next couple of days.

Oh, wow. So, they say that it won't be that bad in December. I wonder what they're projecting for just a couple of months later, when we would like to consider going. With plans of renovating SO many of the Poly's major influences of the resort (the volcano pool, the lagoon / beach around Sunset Point, Tahiti / Rapa Nui, AND the GCH), of course it has all of us worried. SURELY they will not work on multiple areas at the same time, right??? I can accept one area under construction for the amount of money that we pay, but that's about it.

Booked to stay at the poly 3rd to 8th July next year. It is our first ever visit to WDW

It think I would like to request a samoa pool view room. Should I ring now and add it to my reservation or do it with online check-in??

 

[bluejasmine]

I would add it to your reservation as well as when you do OLCI

I highly doubt they would work on those major areas at the same time but who knows. I would be shocked if they did. The pool construction is suppose to start in January so I would think once they have all that done, they would move on to the GCH.

That's exciting!!! First WDW trip and a stay at one of their best resorts, you can't beat that!! As far as the room request goes, I would call them and have it added to your reservation. Also, if you do online check-in, you can select your room requests there as well.

A week from today we'll be at the Poly, yay!!!!

I know exactly what you mean. December can't get here soon enough. Not wishing my life away but it is sooooooo hard to wait.
