ALOHA! The Polynesian Resort Information Thread: September 2012

[TigrLvsPooh]

Trying to figure out what time to make our ADRs and I'm wondering what time is the campfire on the beach each night? And what time do the movies start? I found conflicting information on Tikiman's site (he said 6pm and 7pm, but the picture posted of the actual sign at Polynesian said 7pm and 8pm.) Can someone who has been there verify for me? We will be there 2nd week of December if that makes a difference.

Also is there a campfire and a movie every night?

Thanks!

I believe the times are different in the winter vs. the summer

So do I assume that the campfire would be at 6 and the movie at 7 during the winter??

Here now, Tokelau room 2905. Room decor is nice, room is spacious, bathroom is not with the addition of two sinks. No privacy at all for the potty area, half wall does not even extend to cover the actual commode. No towel rack close to tub/shower either as Tikiman reported in Hawaii. Had some issues with non working power receptacles but they were handled by maintenance yesterday. Can see Wishes from balcony if you lean out. No bounceback brochure at check in and nothing in the room so far. No biggie for us as I believe that this may be our last WDW stay for a while. Crowd and CM issues are making US/IOA much more attractive to us at this stage in our family's life (Grown teens).

Has anyone else stayed in Tokelau since the renovation and NOT had the double sinks? I was planning to request this longhouse for our trip in October but thought it would have the double sinks. Bathroom time would be much smoother with 2.

I think you misread their post. They said the room is spacious but the bathroom isn't because of the 2 sinks.

Haha!! I read it the same way!!! I was thinking "wow, wonder why they didn't add the double sinks?"!!!!!

The downfall to reading others' thoughts is that you can't decipher tone or context!

I read it like that too!

I have to say I'm sooo glad I read it wrong!! Thats the longhouse I requested!!

Thanks for clarifying that. I read it the same as the other posters thinking there was still just 1 sink .

The thing is Tokelau used to only have one sink. The bathroom layout is not that great now but there ARE two sinks

I JUST BOOKED MY FIRST TRIP TO THE POLY FOR 7/19 - 7/25!!!!!

I honestly can't wait! It is my dream resort, so I figured.... what the hey!

I did online check-in (was that a mistake.... ) and requested--for my two requests--balcony and Tokelau building. Was that a good choice?

Either way, it's gonna be GREAT!!!!!!!!!!

You're going to have a blast. The Poly is such a special resort and holds so many wonderful memories for my family. When I step off the ME bus and walk into the GCH I just feel overcome with happiness and like I'm "home." You'll understand when you get there!

The Poly feels like "home" to us, too, and we've only had one stay there. We like trying different resorts, but always miss the Poly. I can't wait to get back to the Poly in December .

I think I remember reading on Tikiman or his FB page a while back that every refurbished room, regardless of longhouse, will have double sinks once they're done. It's a vague memory though...I might be mis-remembering that...

Are there still 2 padded armchairs in Tokelau or did they drop it back to one chair? Do you have any pics of the new chair fabric?

TIA
