4 days to go!Question about the pool area....I am on immunosuppressants and like to try and sit in the shade...I know there are limited umbrellas...can you bring one of the ones that can clamp onto a chair into the pool area??
If you have any bubble wrap lying around the house, I would bring it. It won't take up much room and you could wrap the nautilus in it.
Have a fantastic time!!
We just returned from staying club level - the offerings are still what most people have been reporting. Breakfast is cold cereals and oatmeal (with toppings), yogurt (vanilla and strawberry) with toppings, bagels, croissants, muffins, cinnamon rolls, fruit. I think that was it. We were never there for the afternoon snacks, but from past trips I remember things like goldfish, gummy bears, choc chip cookies. Evening apps were always: carrots, celery and cucumbers with dip, mini pita pockets and hummus, pineapple with caramel sauce, three different types of cheeses and crackers (there was always different fruits on the cheese trays as well). Each night there were two hot appetizers - items included pierogies with Korean bbq sauce, conch fritters, chicken legs with a teriyaki sauce, crab rangoons, sushi, beef and blue wrapped in bacon. I do remember them having an additional cold salad each night in the past that wasn't there this year. Otherwise, it was pretty much the same as it's been for us in the past.
FYI - they do have some things "in the back" that you have to ask for. My kids were able to get chocolate milk, apple juice and uncrustable pb&j (some nights these were out, other nights they needed to request them). The staff was extremely nice and accomodating, so I wouldn't hesitate to ask for something if you don't see it out.
Let me know if you have any specific questions - I'm not sure I covered everything!
I wish shipping was a choice for me, but UPS charges ridiculous customs brokerage fees for shipping across the border.
Yes, you can. Not sure what the pool hours will be in October though.
Thank you, helpful info! Do you remember what kind of yogurt it was that was out in the mornings? Yoplait, Dannon, or a greek yogurt of some kind? Also, was there coffee out all day? Thanks again!
) and he had it at different times of the day.
I hope they keep this up! Definitely needed since it was even crowded with staff checking guests at gate.
so I'm happy to hear that pool hoppers are getting the boot. A crowded pool doesn't bother me, but lack of shade might. This seems to be a common complaint amongst DISers. Why would they not have more umbrellas? Does it have anything to do with the size of the deck? Are the tables with umbrellas larger than the tables without umbrellas ie more umbrellas=less tables? There has to be a reason because it doesn't make sense to have this many complaints from guests. 
Will be at the Poly next week for the first time
You can buy cases of water at the resort as well. That's what we've done before when we just needed a few items.
Does that include the use of the steam room? I think they have one there and....how long of a walk is it from Poly to GF? ThanksYou are correct. AFAIK, Poly guests can use the gym at the GF.
Wow! This is the first I've heard that the lifeguards are actually checking guests. Most people say they do not check and the gates can often be left open.
Yay for checking at the gate, finally!!
