Polyfor4: Thank you SO much for all of the CL food pics and the merchandise pics. I'm very happy to see the new ceramic coffee mug.

Do you have any more pics of your room or the CL lounge? Again, thanks so much

I was going to say the same thing! Thanks for posting the pics, and that coffee mug looks great.

Thanks for the pictures!

Thanks for posting all the great pictures! I know know I can never book CL at the Poly, Bob would not eat most of the offerings, the mini corn dogs and ribs were about all he would touch, darn picky people.

Thanks for all the pics Polyfor4!

Can someone tell me how I can contact the CL IPO to do ADR requests? My understanding is that this is the easiest, least stressful way to get them done and we are about 188 days out now!!

Thank you!!

I'm surprised you haven't received a planning questionnaire from IPO if you're that close to your 180 days. I've pm'd you the IPO email (I can't remember if we're allowed to post email addresses or not).

Can anyone tell me the best way to get to FW? I have booked the sleigh ride and will be coming from our room at the Poly.

Now I need to decide if we keep our late dinner reservation at O'hana or try Hoop De Doo Review for the first time since we will be right there.

Take the boat or monorail to MK, then the boat to FW. EasY, peasy.

I would do HDDR! It will be more convenient, plus it's loads of fun!!

Yep, that's what I would do.

I also say try HDDR!!

Depending how crowded it is, I would allow 30 minutes to an hour. Also, if you take the boat from Poly to MK instead of the monorail, it can take a little longer but it's a nice relaxing boat ride.

I think we will try HDDR - now I just have to get my friend on board...

What's the sleigh ride?

2 questions for all you experts....


1) for buses to DAK and DHS, is it faster to load the bus at the Poly stop or walk to the TTC and catch the bus from there? Same question coming back to the resort?

2) quickest way to get to animal kingdom lodge from poly? With no car...Assuming monorail to MK and then ride the bus to AKL is faster than bus to DAK, then bus to AKL? Is there a bus from TTC directly to AKL? This is for a 7:30 dinner reservation at boma...

Polyfor4, Love the pics of new shirts etc! Thanks for posting!

 

[mickey2minnie1]

I tried to take pictures of all the new merchandise and prices! The price is after the picture of its matching merchandise

thanks for the pics! I have been looking so forward to seeing them. is the orange shirt the only color for that print screen?

What's the sleigh ride?

It's a horse-drawn carriage ride with sleigh bells around FW to see holiday decorations. Last year it was $60 for the 25 minute ride. It holds up to 4 adults or 2 adults & 3 kids.

[BrdwayBoy]

1) I would just wait for the bus at the Poly. You may walk over to the TTC and end up with the same wait. All the buses make their rounds so it all depends on if a bus just left when you got there.

2) Your best bet would be to take the ALK bus from MK. There are no resort buses from TTC, just park buses. I would allow 30 minutes to an hr for transfers and travel time, if you get there a lot earlier you can look around the resort, at least you would not feel rushed.

Awesome!!! What was the bb offer you received?

It comes in the purple girls shirt but aside from that its just on the orange ladies shirt. The blue shirt with just Mickey is the men's/ unisex fit. What's embarrassing is I bought the blue shirt and until your comment, I didn't even notice they were two different graphics. Probably thinking about tonga toast when I took the pictures
