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

At this time, two weeks from tomorrow, I will be checking in to the Hawaii longhouse :lovestruc:cloud9::woohoo:

Only 4 more hours of work, then I can run some last minute errands, finish packing the bags and hopefully get to bed at a decent hour. We leave at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow for the airport!!!.

Happy travels to everyone else headed to the Poly this week - see you around the pool!! :goodvibes

Sitting at Logan Airport waiting for our flight out to Orlando.!!

:

I am so excited we are down to 6 hours and 20 min untill we flight out to my second home:cool1:. We arive at aprox 7am tomrrow morining everthing goes well and the off to Poly!!. I had requested a marina view,i hope we get it:confused3,if not i imagin where ever we will be it will be wonderfull.

Y'all all make me sick with JEALOUSY!!:rotfl: Be careful, rain be gone!!!! Have a magical stay!:wizard:
 
This is soo funny...when my dd was 4 we took my brother who was about 22 at the time with us to WDW. We were eating at the Princess dinner at the Akershus in Epcot and he had commented to my husband that Jasmine was hot.....well of course when Jasmine came to our table my daughter says..."Uncle Keith thinks your hot"...Jasmine handled it in stride and said something like oooh Alladin will be jealous :thumbsup2

My kids save dad all things Jasmine (pins, stickers, etc) and they think it's cute...I know otherwise... ;)

Besides POLY it would be fun to see if any of you have a second hotel choice! I guess WL, because all in one resort.:goodvibes

We stayed at WL in May and thought it was just ok. It's hard to pick a 2nd favorite.

We liked the Beach Club's location but didn't like the limited food offerings or how the pool is so spread out. I think as the kids go off on their own and I'm not eye-balling them in the pool every second, this will be the place to go. The kids are awesome swimmers but I'm still a mom!

I loved Riverside! I haven't been back in years but that's only because I've lucked out on being able to stay at the Poly :love: I would love to try all the moderate resorts.

I LOVED AKL BUT hated how far it was from the parks. AKL as a resort is fabulous and if that were on a monorail - whoa....it would be awesome.

I thought WL was fine and different and I'd stay there again if I had to but I prefer too many of the other resorts.

And I definitely did not like All Star Movies. And after that experience I will never stay in a value resort again.

YIPPEE!!!! Have a 'backscratcher' for me! My kids still talk about the backscratchers... (I gave them the bamboo piece, not the drink!)

I guess it helped at WL that we were upgraded for free and the trip itself ran smooth! The kids were younger and it was our first deuxe stay. We've never stayed value because of the discount codes. Moderate wise we've only stayed at CSR which was fine-except so spread out, we did enjoy the pool area. I disliked the Swan & Dolphin, worst stay thus far! I did split stay, not by choice and hated the crowds & conference feel of the hotel and its also not ran by Disney & you can tell, we went to gift shop there a lot for Disney vibe! Favorite is POLY and I don't see that changing anytime soon.:love:
