Does anyone know what age the splash pad will be for?

Ferrentinos · Apr 4, 2015

Can't wait to try out Trader Sam's in June/July! It looks amazing! I'm sure my DD4 is going to love the new splash area and I love how large the pool deck has become! Lots of chairs everywhere!! That's awesome! I can't wait to sit in the lounge in Hawaii and watch Wishes every night and even see the 4th of July fireworks from there.

Thank you to everyone on this board and to Tikiman for all of your help/suggestions/information when it comes to the Polynesian! We love it there and can't wait to be back!!!

Aloha! Posting from Poly. The pool looks like it will be opening any minute. All scrims are down and the lifeguards were the first in the pool testing the slide and swimming around. Splash Pad is still under construction, but looks great and is well themed. Will post those photos later. Heading to Trader Sam's soon.

iPhone posting so apologies for the unedited quality and haphazard order, but I wanted everyone to see how great it looks LIVE!

Tonight at Trader Sam's the wait was only 15 minutes indoors and no wait outdoors. Much better than the 6 hours on opening night. After 8:00 is 21 and older-only, but any age is welcome before 8:00.

Tried the coconut curry meatballs at CC and I thought they were delicious, but DH and DD thought they were too sweet. DD enjoyed her Lobster Roll. DH had the udon with beef pho bowl and it was okay, but he wouldn't order it again.

Sorry for the poor quality iPhone photos...

Woohoo the pool looks great. So excited for August. Thanks so much for posting.
Have a great time x

i hope Poly/Disney is reading the love for Tikiman and reconsiders their position. He is the best ambassador for all things Poly, and has been so generous in helping many people with their vacations, and getting the most out of Poly.
What they are doing is reprehensible.

Ferrentinos · Apr 4, 2015

Thanks for those pictures! Looks awesome!

i was planning to do that with our 8-year old, but he was acting a fool at school and home, so i had to let him know that we wouldn't be able to reward bad behavior with his dream vacation.

Surprising our (will be) 12 year old on her birthday July 29-Aug 2! She'll have no idea! We're going to wake her up at 5am for 7am flight! Gtg. She just woke up!
