Any tips for staying in Poly Bungalows?

[Teresa Andreani]

We live in Cleveland but have a home in Windermere where our CM kids live. Looking forward to a March visit and blowing a zillion DVC points for a 2-night stay in the bungalows. Curious who has stayed there and any tips you may have. Also wondering if anyone has gotten the Ohana dinner by room service.

I got the Ohana Dinner, it was great and one dinner fed 3 of us with leftovers! We are not HUGE eaters, so plan accordingly. I think for us, there were at least 3 of each meat, so we all got to try everything. Funny, while we were there in May, 2018, a new menu came in during our stay, and the price increased by $5 I think. Still totally worth it. Juice, rice, salad, meat, rolls, butter, vegetables with noodles. And bread pudding dessert I believe...yummy! We are not big dessert eaters either. They ask you how many people are eating and bring the correct amount of silverware, plates, napkins.
I was not staying in the cabin villa though, just the studios. I love the Poly best of all resorts!

I have no tips to give, but when you’ve completed your stay please come back here and tell us all about it! Sounds like a blast, have fun!!!

We stayed at a Poly bungalow for 5 nights in May. It was awesome! We loved being able to sit on our own deck every night, with the kids in their pajamas, watching HEA, music piped in on the deck. Felt like we were the only people watching the fireworks. It was a very special stay for us.

You will see reviews with complaints about the boat horns. With 2 little kids, I was worried about it. Well, we LOVED hearing the boat horns and for me, they’re a sentimental Magic Kingdom sound. I had no idea how much I loved the sound of them until we stayed in the bungalow.

We also did the Ohana feast and loved it. Had leftovers for dinner the next day too.

Have a blast!
