ALOHA! The Polynesian Resort Information Thread: Summer 2011 Edition!

[Tess]

Aloha!

Good morning from home. Truth be told, it is always sad to come home, but it also feels good to sleep in your own bed and see our doggies!

I will give a mini review as I do plan on doing a trip report. I will try to keep this Poly related....

We arrived Sunday 10/23 at about 11 in the morning via ME. It was a bit of chaos in the arrival area. There were CM with folders waiting but no one bothered to approach us or greet us. There was a lot of people coming and going. I am not sure what the new "system" is supposed to accomplish but it does not seem well thought out. So we just walked ourselves through the GCH to Hawaii because we like to take in the Poly lobby upon arrival. I do know that two other CL guests were told they had to check in at the GCH because the CL CMs were busy This seems counter productive to me?

For us the Hawaii check is was seamless. There was one CM checking in another guest which happened to be Woodkins So we sat down with Tom the available CM. He was very nice and he chatted us up for a bit. I was anxious and just DYING to hear our room number because we really wanted a third floor room as were were book GVCL. We just wanted our balcony. Well, he proceeds to tell us that we were getting an upgrade but it could not be third floor. While DH was not really liking the fact that he was not getting his balcony, I was really happy It was a nice surprise. I gave DH a "zip it" look. Although Tom could not give us our room number yet, he said that we would get a text when our room was ready. While DH balcony wishes were totally over ridden by his girls, he did learn to appreciate the view over the balcony.

Off to the MK we went. After a few hours we did not receive a text which I hear is not that unusual So we headed back to the longhouse and the CM there gave us our room number. We ended up in 2508 which is a LV room. The view was fabulous. So the trip started off very well. I will go over certain aspects of the good and the sadly, bad, about our stay!

The room- Our room was fairly clean but did have some wear ad tear in some places. The bathroom was very clean. No mold to be seen at all. Of course the fan is my biggest gripe but we learned to bring DDs balloon in the bathroom with us when we shower and that helps keep the fan on. The new shower heads are nice. I was disappointed at the lack of cleanliness of the sliding door glass and mirrors in the room. There was a smear of cream cheese on the sliding glass door when we arrived and on the mirror over the day bed some tiny hand prints which were smaller than anyone in my family could make Well, I had windex wipes so I just cleaned them myself. I have to say that I defend Mousekeeping in some respects because on two occasions I witnessed an arriving guest complaining about their room not being ready...well before the 3pm check in time I am sure they are under pressure to turn those rooms around is as quick as possible. While this lack of attention to the glass is annoying, it is not a trip killer.

Mousekeeping- In a word...very good. They came in early during the day and we had wonderful turn down service at night. We had many special treats waiting for us and DDs stuffed animals were always doing something different. It was fun to come back to the room in the evening. Now I have to say that before we would leave the room I would always tidy up and put things in their place. There was just three of us so it is easier to keep the room organized. The only "issue" was on our first day I asked for hangers . While I was on the phone I asked if they could also take the two sets of extra pillow and linens that were in the closet so we would have more space to put out stuff and she said not a problem. But the women that delivered the hangers refused and said they HAVE to stay in the room and to just shove them on the side of the bed between the wall . I am a tad anal and a neat freak so that would not work for me but I was in no mood to argue so I left them in the room with a note for Mousekeeping to please take them and guess what? They were gone....issue resolved During my TR I will post pics of all of our fun treats we came back to the room to! It made the trip that much more special. So Mousekeeping gets a despite the few little things.

CL Lounge- Chef Eugene is wonderful! He made the most wonderful dishes for Ahiahi (evening service). I am not a huge foodie so I did not take pictures of the offerings but there was beef wellington, dumplings, chicken satay, baked brie with raspberry sauce...oh so yummy!!! Kakahiaka (morning service) basically the same stuff day after day. I was a bit disappointed that the only yogurt they served was Danimals which is a kid yogurt filled with sugar. They used to serve Yoplait But the pastries were plentiful as was the fruit and yogurt. But you can't beat the lounge for a nice quick breakfast, I just wish there was more protein options with breakfast. There were small lines for food at times but there really wasn't a free for all food dash. For Auinala (afternoon service), there were plenty of snacks out throughout the day like yogurt covered pretzels and raisins, trail mix, popcorn, fish crackers and cookies. I ate way too many cookies. They did not have uncrustables out every day during Auinala like they did two years ago. I think I saw them out during the mid day once or twice but they did have them out some nights during Ahiahi as well as little mini corn dogs. Now here comes my one and only major gripe. THREE nights in a row the Ku'ulei's punch was gone by Aumoe, dessert and cordial offerings! This ticked me off as I was not interested in just wine or beer. I love the punch and felt that with Hawaii being full as I was told by many CMs, then they should have enough. The good news is that the generic cordials are gone and the brand names are back One night I was chatting with Chef Eugene and happened to mention my disappointment at the lack of punch and he was visibly annoyed by this and after that night there was plenty of punch available up until 10pm. The lounge CMs and Chef Eugene were wonderful. Yes, there are some more chatty than others but I chatted with everyone and found them all to be lovely people. Especially Sandrine and Irv

Now, lets move on to some GUESTS....I am prepared for flames and I will put a disclaimer out there that this is MY opinion and different strokes for different folks BUT, I feel that wearing your robe to the lounge is rude and just really unnecessary. We all get robes in Hawaii, so you are not showing us something we don't have?? And put some shoes on your feet people! I am eating in here I do not want to see you shirtless in your wet bathing suit drinking a beer barefoot. It is a public lounge, not your living room What would you think if you walked in to Captain Cooks, or Kona and saw people sitting in robes or shirtless or shoeless?? OK, vent over Yes, I probably sound like a snob, but again, it is my opinion and I felt it was inappropriate!

The Poly in General- Beautiful as always. The GCH is definitely showing signs of wear. The last few days we had rain and there was water dripping into buckets throughout. I have a feeling that something is/has to be done soon. I heard no rumors or had any discussions with any CMs about any plans of renovations and/or DVC but I did not really ask either. The pool was beautiful and somewhat crowded. We were arm banded a few days and it seemed to help. Movies on the beach is very nice but I am not a fan of the blasting music by the pool all afternoon but my child is older and did not really take part in too much of the pool side activities. But I can see how it may help a family with younger kiddos. I just sort of miss the tranquil Poly music.

Captain Cooks- Seemed fine. We ate there a few times. Most delays were from guests not understanding how it works which is understandable as it is confusing there. The cashiers are always so lovely there I swear the same ladies have been working there forever. While they are not beaming with sunshine, they do a good job of explaining the dining plan and food pick up procedure in a fairly monotone but nice way. While I find the food prices really high, they do have some decent selections that are tasty.

Finally, Transportation from the Poly- Poor Who would think that bus service to DHS studios was less complicated and was more efficient than the monorail and the boats to MK? I went into this trip with the understanding that we may encounter issues but never in my wildest imaginations would I think that it would take an hour to get back to the Poly from the MK on a basic low crowd park day I put the transportation issues all on Disney corporate and not the Poly of course. It is clear that the monorail has issues. They need to cut their losses. Shut the monorail completely for a while and fix it. In the meantime put more (and bigger) boats in the water and run more buses. We were stuck in between the CR and TTC for over an hour Not only was I annoyed with being stuck in a loaded car standing, I had to listen to a women make numerous phone calls chewing out anyone who would listen about how she was missing her ADR for lunch at EPCOT. One of our main reasons, besides the fabulous views of the MK, we stay at the Poly for transportation ease and that went out the window this trip. I could go day by day about the issues we encountered but there is no point. They have a problem and I hope it gets fixed because this Poly loving family may stray from our beloved resort. Especially since EPCOT and DHS studios have become more appealing to us as DD gets older.

So I don't finish my review on negative note, I will finish up by saying that at the Poly we encountered wonderful CMs and fabulous service the entire time. You cannot beat the view and the resort itself is as beautiful as ever. We made new friends and had some wonderful experiences with friends made right here on the DIS.

I promise to post lots of pics once I get them uploaded. Feel free to ask questions as I am sure I missed something. It was a fabulous vacation and while we do not have any plans to start planning our next trip it is not for lack of wanting to.

Sorry to hear about the monorail issues, but I hear you! Just fix it already! It is an old system and I believe it is definitely showing the age. Without the monorail though, staying in the MK resorts is not worth the money--heck at the (rack) rates they are now charging it isn't worth it now despite my love of the Polynesian. I would be more than annoyed to be stuck on the monorail for an hour.

I believe, as Breezy gets older and like us, you will find those EPCOT resorts much more appealing. While you don't have the monorail, you don't need it since you spend less time in MK than the other parks. We enjoy the ability to bus up to MK early in the morning and monorail back to EPCOT for the afternoon. Then again, even when our kids were young, we did MK in the a.m., took our pool time, and headed to EPCOT in the evening.

I'm happy to hear that, for the most part, your experience was positive. As you know, I LOVE the Polynesian and while I miss staying there, the cost outweighs the value and the convenience for our present touring style just isn't there.

Oh my, I hope you feel O.K.! WDW will make it all better, but what a funny story to tell! Take care.

I don't think I could've made up a story like that. It is funny. I kinda shake my head as I tell it...I made it through 12 hours at work..and a snowstorm, I will be FINE at the Poly

Hello Ms. J.wave: only two more days for you.

1 more work day And 5 more days

We have had very cold Halloweens the last couple of years. I hope the weather is decent too......it's sad seeing the little ones all bundled up and not able to show off their costumes. I have older teens so it doesn't effect me, but I feel for all the parents walking the streets with their kiddos freezing .

Yay for just 3 more work days .

We have our power back...it was out for 16 hours I spent most of that time at work. DH kept all the kids warm by the fireplace..Unfortunately, it was too mushy to play in. We will be bundled for trick or treating....

1 more work day....

Happy Halloween Poly Peeps!!!

Too funny!! When I was reading your post, the movie Anchorman was on and Ron Burgundy was walking around in his robe - with a drink and wearing a bathing suit - playing it all cool!

Oh my! The transportation was the BEST part of our stay so if we had issues with it, I would have demanded my money back. Seriously though, love the Poly but without the transportation, it would have a lot more areas that need to be *perfect* (and they aren't - sorry Poly you know I love you!!!).

Aloha!

Thank you for the mini review, it was great! Its nice to go away, but your right its also nice to come home. Can't wait to read your full trip report & see pictures!

 

[logpey]

Pas 130 - finally got our power back after 24 hrs. Happy Halloween and see you at the Poly - YIPEE!!

Yay for power...and HEAT See you soon

Breezysmom Sorry for the transportation issues..One of my pet peeves is the peeps in the lounge with bare feet. I mean SERIOUSLY!!! No flames from me..

Can't wait to see your pics!!!

Aloha!

Good morning from home Truth be told, it is always sad to come home, but it also feels good to sleep in your own bed and see our doggies!

Welcome home . I agree about being home.....I hate leaving Disney, but it is always nice to be home and see our dog and cat . I'm sorry about the transportation issues you encountered, but glad you had an otherwise great stay at the Poly. We are go with the flow kind of people and when we're at Disney we're not usually in a rush to get anywhere, but I sure wouldn't be happy about spending an hour on the monorail.....that is just way too long a time, especially when you're paying the price of a monorail resort for the convenience . Glad to hear everything else was great. Hope you can start planning your next trip soon .

Sorry to hear about the monorail issues, but I hear you! Just fix it already! It is an old system and I believe it is definitely showing the age. Without the monorail though, staying in the MK resorts is not worth the money--heck at the (rack) rates they are now charging it isn't worth it now despite my love of the Polynesian.

I'm happy to hear that, for the most part, your experience was positive. As you know, I LOVE the Polynesian and while I miss staying there, the cost outweighs the value and the convenience for our present touring style just isn't there.

I agree about the Epcot resorts.....very convenient. We've stayed at the BC and while we loved resort and loved being within walking distance to Epcot and DHS, I wish there were CS options like Captain Cooks at the Poly or Roaring Forks at the WL. We have 2 teen boys and CS is a must and I hate the fact that we can't get that in the Epcot area, otherwise we would definitely stay over there more often.

We have our power back...it was out for 16 hours I spent most of that time at work. DH kept all the kids warm by the fireplace..Unfortunately, it was too mushy to play in. We will be bundled for trick or treating....

Glad you have power again . Good luck with trick or treating all bundled up......but I'm sure the kiddos will still have an awesome time .

Pas 130 - finally got our power back after 24 hrs. Happy Halloween and see you at the Poly - YIPEE!!

Yay for the power coming back on .

One of my pet peeves is the peeps in the lounge with bare feet. I mean SERIOUSLY!!! No flames from me..

I hear ya!!!! A friend of mine is at GF SL now and she told me the other day she saw alot of peeps barefoot......not something I like to see .

Asked this on the restaurant board also, but thought I might have more luck on this thread My son LOVES the chocolate pudding side dish option at Captain Cooks, but I just looked at all ears for the menu and it's not showing it as an option for the kids meals.

Seriously, it's his thing. He's 6 and ever since he was 3, he orders chicken nuggets and double chocolate pudding whenever we eat at Capt. Cooks which he'd never get away with at home, but hey, it's Disney right

Anyway, has anyone that's been there lately seen the chocolate pudding there?

Thanks so much if you can help!

We just got back Sat. and according to my dd there was chocolate pudding as the side choices (she only gets carrots and grapes...no fun LOL)

Oh, thanks so much!!!! I was not looking forward to THAT conversation with him if it wasn't going to be there

My daughter does the carrots and grapes too...they're her favorites. Go figure!

 

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

BreezysMom,
Thanks for posting that detailed trip report and sorry about the Monorail issues you had.

While I will always enjoy it I have to say now that my family and I have started to stay at the Boardwalk Inn it's something I don't miss, because we had our own issues with it during our recent Contemporary stays in December 2009 and August 2010.

Tess, where do you stay now? Just curious.

While we have always given the EPCOT resorts time over the years, our predominant stays are there now. We've stayed YC, BC, BWI, and Dolphin. We have enjoyed our stays at all of the Disney resorts and we're still on the fence about Dolphin. Of course, for the price, you can't beat Swan & Dolphin.

Holy cow, this time tomorrow I will be on an airplane!

So happy to be returning to my beloved Polynesian.

I can't wait to surprise the kids tomorrow morning. They've been sending me notes like this for a while now:


And this one came skittering in on a robot:

[LuzzBightyear]

Supposed to arrive at MCO around 11:30pm on Friday so we won't get to the Poly until 1am at the earliest. Our flight has a couple close connections, and clearing US customs is also in the mix. This is just "just in case planning", but if we miss a connection, we likely will not get in until sometime on Saturday. Who should I call it that happens? Does the resort have a direct number? Or just call the general reservation line?

 

[pas130]

Glad you have power again . Good luck with trick or treating all bundled up......but I'm sure the kiddos will still have an awesome time .

Fastest trick-or-treat ever. It wasn't too bad, but they only did about 90min...still got plenty of yummies, there wasn't too many kids out. The school parade was so cute, my girls of course...no jackets, beauty before warmth.. DD7 this morning told me 3 more days Mommy

Holy cow, this time tomorrow I will be on an airplane!

So happy to be returning to my beloved Polynesian.

I can't wait to surprise the kids tomorrow morning. They've been sending me notes like this for a while now:


And this one came skittering in on a robot:

So cool!!! See you soon!

Good morning everyone - only 1 more day of work today. Wednesday will be last minute packing, mani/pedi, cut and color, and paying the bills. Can't wait for Thursday morning.
