I scrolled down (on the Tikiman Facebook page) and someone had copied the December guide, but what I was seeing as far as out of the ordinary stuff (Christmas specific) was all for the last two weeks of December. Like Characters in the lobby, Santa, etc
Just wanted to comment on our great stay in the new villas.
We had a standard view in Moorea. They are soo nice. Moorea is right by the pathway to the TTC so we caught the monorail to both MK and Epcot from there. There is also a convenient, separate, parking lot beside it/short walk. The walk to Ohana and Capt. Cooks was not bad either. We had plenty of coffee with the full-size, in-room, coffee maker (don't forget the filters if you are bringing your own coffee though, wish they were included). The sofa bed wasn't bad either. No seam in your back like other's we have had to sleep on. The fold-out bed was perfect for our almost 3 year old little grandson too.
The only negative I have is that we had patio rooms and I like a balcony for more privacy. I think we are considering "buying-in" after this experience. Can't think of a better home resort.

We were in Fiji, so not bothered by any construction noise, but we barely noticed anything when walking by, either.
Ahead of schedule, never heard those words used to describe Disney construction before!
Welcome home!Got back Saturday from 6 glorious days at the Poly, and wanted to report that the pool gate was working (locked) every time we went to use it!
Also wante to share a few transportation tips. We had a PPO ADR at Epcot one morning. I was under the impression that busses to Epcot would be running prior to the monorail opening (Epcot monorail starts at 8), but they don't come to Poly. Had to walk to TTC and pick up an Epcot bus there. No big deal, but wasted a lot of time trying to figure this out!
And if the monorail is down, don't wait for a boat! They pick up at GF first, and arrive at Poly full! Walk to TTC and catch a bus to MK from there (they were NOT sending MK busses to Poly when the monorail was down on Saturday). Again, not a big deal, but would have been nice to know before waiting for a boat, then walking to the Poly bus stop, then finally walking to TTC. Lost at least a half hour of park time. This was the only time we had any monorail issues, but of course it was on our last day!!
Overall, though, we had an amazing trip. Poly is gorgeous as always, the new pool is amazing, and the smell of the lobby.....OMG! Even my kids were breathing it in every time we entered

Yes, that would he my recommendation!
We had to scan our bands to enter the pool every day last week. Glad they are finally cracking down!
