We just got home from an awesome July 4 "week" at both Poly CL TPV and YC CL Water View! I'll review each CL separately, beginning with Poly as that was the first part of our trip.
We've been to Poly CL many times during July 4 week, but we felt like we needed one more stay before our kids get too old

. The Poly did not disappoint! The CM's were among the best we've ever had at Poly. Every single one we encountered went above and beyond. We had fun catching up with Irv and met a couple more CM's. Even housekeeping was better than it ever was for us. Granted, we were only there for 3 days, but we had the best of luck with everything....EXCEPT....we got the dreaded 2nd floor room. I usually always book LV because we love the1st floor. But since we hadn't stayed on 3rd floor in a long time, I thought I'd book TPV with only one request (full balcony). Sadly, they said they didn't have any availability on the 3rd floor, but they could switch us to 1st floor. We actually declined because we wanted to try something new and honestly we ended up not minding the 2nd floor (too much, lol). We did like being on same floor as food....that was sort of cool. And it was indeed still a spectacular view, so we were happy to have that.
So this year, we opted to check out of Poly on July 4 and head over to YC so we could watch Epcot's July 4 show. Therefore, I don't have the usual July 4 info regarding the crowds, food, etc., at Poly. But I'd be willing to bet there are several DIS friends who were there and have all the info!
So onto some pics! The pics I took were of the food on our table. The lounges were just too crowded for me to take pics in the actual food line. Someone in this thread kindly noted every food offering each night at Poly CL when we were there, so I won't go into detail about that part of things.

Very thrilled with the extensive toiletries!! Each and every one refilled the next days too! (except the sunscreen).

We went to the July 3 extra hours at MK from 12-2am and we can check that off our bucket list as a one and done!
Despite the large crowds, one thing we did enjoy was seeing the Castle up close and personal all decked out for the holiday!
