Aloha! ***Welcome to the NEW Poly FAQ***

[BCV23]

Welcome back, Sammy. I'm glad your Polynesian vacation was so perfect. I agree with Tess...that description of your DH's reaction made me smile, too.

I'm so excited I just booked my family's vacation at the Poly for July 27 - August 3, 2010. I can't wait. It will be our first time staying at my dream resort, the polynesian, and our first time staying at a deluxe for that matter.

A little Photo Therapy for you all!!

Thank you Breezy'sMom - we have ADR's at O'Hana and can't wait

Good Morning

 

[BCV23]

Ah, what a lovely way to start the day. Thanks, BreezysMom.

BreezysMom, that photo of the volcano pool facing the castle just made all my morning stress from dealing with the DMV fade away.

Perfect photos to start the day. Thanks for posting them, Breezysmom!

Aloha everyone!

DH and I are back from our 20th Anniversary trip and first Poly stay! OMG we had the BEST time! We were in Tokelau, 3rd floor GV but if we looked to the left while on the balcony, we could see Space Mt and the Contemporary through the palm tree tops. We absolutely LOVED everything about the resort! It was lush, quiet, and wonderfully romantic! Every CM we came across was pleasant and we got more "Alohas" than I can count! We loved the room and especially the balcony for morning coffee and afternoon drinks; although having 2 sinks in the bathroom would have been nice in the morning. Ate at Kona the first night and had a terrific waitress who delivered a wonderful, unexpected dessert served on a celebration plate. Very nice!

I never thought that being on the monorail would ever be a big deal, but boy was I wrong! It was awesome just hopping on the monorail all the time. We really only went to MK and Epcot, so it was wonderfully convenient.

There was a little beach right at the end of Tokelau that was always deserted, so DH and I had a hammock to ourselves most nights. I just remember laying there with DH, staring through the palm trees at the full moon, the ferry all lit up, the Contemporary, Space Mountain, and (best of all!) the castle over the lake, and thinking I had died and gone to heaven!

It definitely was THE most romantic vacation we have ever had together!! I originally thought staying at the Poly would have to be a "once in a lifetime" experience, but I am hooked now and can't wait to go back!!

The saddest part is that it's over already!

Aloha!
Sammy

Welcome back! I'm SO glad you had such a wonderful experience at the Polynesian! You've really summed up exactly how my DH and I feel about the resort, especially this part:

Thanks to everyone for posting photos of the resort. It puts me in a good "south seas away from the office" type of mood!

I'm off to the Poly tomorrow!!!

We went to the Poly on a couples only trip back in May and I have been meaning to post my pics here for a while and keep forgetting. I'm bad enough trying to get a trip report finished. Anyways, we were in Tahiti, garden view. LOVED IT!!! My husband took many, many pics, so I will post them in spurts!

I'll post more later, but I'm very happy to say that we are going back in February with the whole family this time! I can't wait!

Sarah - that photo is not only breath-takingly gorgeous, but very unique as well. Tell Shawn (or he is Shaun - can't remember) - that he did a fantastic job!

Thanks Vicki! I will let him know! (It's Shawn....) The weather here is so dreary and wet with this Nor'easter coming through that looking at the Poly pics makes me feel A LOT better!!

For those of you who have used DME how long did it take for your luggage to arrive at your room. We are staying at the Poly in January and will be arriving at the airport on the 12th around 7:30pm.

I would not expect it to be very busy that time of year and time of day and would hope our bags would arrive not long after we get to the resort.

We arrived at the airport at 11am on a Sunday a couple weeks back. We were at the Poly by a little after 12, and luggage arrived by 3PM.

I love the photos - you guys are killing me!!! I've been wanting to try Wilderness Lodge but am so torn because I love the Poly!!! I need to stop drooling over the photos and make a decision already

Seems like an easy decision to me

 

[tarak]

Sara - those are gorgeous!

Tinkerbellie16 - we stayed at the WL in December. It's gorgeous, but for me didn't have the same relaxed atmosphere of the Poly. So far, the Poly and AKL are by far my favorite resorts.

 

[vicki_c]

LOL Sara "without the h" -- I was so concerned about Shawn's name that I spelled yours wrong, even though I knew better!

 

[BreezysMom]

Great pics Sara!

Thanks for sharing. I look forward to more.

JK...we always consdier what else is there to try but I always imagine myself wishing I was at the Poly the whole time.

Excellent pictures!!!!

 

[Sammy]

Sara, those pictures are absolutely gorgeous! I'm going to look at them often as I'm missing the palm trees and sunshine already. I'm looking out my kitchen window at brown leaves, brown grass, and it's 33 degrees!
