Is turndown service just available at CL or can anyone request it? What is the price if anyone can do it? Do they put chocolates on the pillows?
Tess is correct. It is probably best if you call every day in the morning if you want it that day. Our first trip I called and asked for it for one evening and they ended up doing it the whole trip. The next time I called and they did it that night but not the next.
If we are going to be out of the room late it is a nice treat to come home too!
We manage to get back to our original favorite by booking weekends and sometimes a W, Th night before heading to a DVC resort.
Tokelau and Tahiti both have balconies on the second floor
The Polynesian is so special, isn't it?
How did your events go? Did you have fun?
Tokelau and Tahiti both have balconies on the second floor
I just couldn't get my mind around the balcony arrangement of the various longhouses. Even after 13 trips to WDW, I know next to nothing about the Poly. I do know that I like to keep my room requests simple though. Now it looks like I can just request Tokelau or Tahiti and I'll be content.
Even better, my airfare came down $175 over the weekend. Now I just have to keep this secret from DW untl Christmas. It's hard being sneaky. 
vicki is correctI'd like to add that the bathroom up on the third floor of the lounge is very big, and is a great place for changing (for example) out of your bathing suit on the last day of your trip if you've already checked out of your room because as some might not know, you will have access to the lounge until midnight of the day you check out. And unless they've changed this recently, there are nice fluffy towels in that bathroom, too.
Hope this helps.
When we walked in the room the first thing we saw was the view of the lagoon with the Castle and Space MT and CR behind it. It was wonderful. The part we loved the most was at night we sat out on our balcony and enjoyed the changing colors on the castle while our three kids tried to go to sleep. Because Tahiti is so quiet we only saw other guests briefly three times so it was like the Castle was all ours every night that week. It was Magical and very romantic for this old married couple
. I never thought a view was worth the money before until this trip. I would say try it just once and see if it makes you feel as content as it did us.On an even more awesome note... just got off the phone with my TA. The trip is o-f-f-i-c-i-a-l-l-y BOOKED!
Congratulations!Thankfully we have so many Poly lovers on the thread
Let me preface this by emplaning that I have never had a room with a view anywhere until our stay at the Poly in May. Since we were getting 3 free days we figured this was our time to dream big so we booked a MK view room at Tahiti.
OMG it was soooo GREAT!!!
Since I have never been, can you give me some advice. I have a garden view room. We really want a balcony so we can sit outside especially when kids are trying to go to sleep. Where should I request? I know it is not a guarantee. Also, could you share some great things to do at Poly with small kids? Thanks so much!
Hey everyone! I am new to the thread. My story is that my DH and I are taking our sons (1 and 3) to WDW on 11/27/09 and orginally had reservation to POR. Well, yesterday I was playing around online looking at 4/3 deals and the Poly showed up for a good price. My husband asked me if I wanted to upgrade and I said yes!!! So, now we changed our reservation to the Poly for 8 nights. I am so excited!!
