Resort Thread Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT

[03GirlsMom]

For anyone interested, the 60 day booking window does apply to the reserved seating at the lava pool. I've got the date on my calendar to call back!

AND THIS IS WHY I LOVE THE DISBOARDS!

LoLaura84 - if I could give you 1,000 likes I would! I just called the number you provided and - get this - a CM answered right away with no hold time!!!!!! I spoke with an amazing CM named Sam and told her my story. She was able to switch my Rez for reserved seating from the Oasis Pool to the Lava Pool in like 30 seconds. No offense to the great CMs working the Recreation phone-line, but it took that CM like 20 minutes even to find reserved pool seating at the Poly in the system (and this is after waiting on hold for 2-hours).

I cannot thank you (and Tikiman) enough. I’m definitely saving this number for future reference.

Please do let me know about your experience. Our Rez is not until August so I will be curious as to what you thought. I definitely want to know about the check-in time. We are switching from GF to Poly on the day of our reserved pool seating at Poly, and I probably won’t get to the Poly until about 11am. I know you can check-in at the pool starting at 10am, but I’m not sure if it’s a problem if we do not arrive until 11am.

We have a cabana rental at GF during our stay and I have heard that if you don’t show up at the GF pool by a certain time that they might rent your cabana to someone else. That seems weird to me knowing I have pre-paid, but I’m a little nervous about it.

They have “reserved seating” at the pools?
Why?

FWIW, I don’t think that’s the case that they’d give your cabana away. We’ve done a few of them over time and have never been on time - one time at YC quite late because our flight was late - with no issues. I guess anything is possible and maybe I’m wrong, but I’d be surprised if they ever actually gave one away for a later show.

I was around the Poly pool close to opening almost every day this week and never saw anyone there around opening.

I really like the new Poly room designs. But pictures of the new suites have me absolutely head over heels! You can see them (mixed with regular room pictures) in this article: https://attractionsmagazine.com/pho...na-rooms/?mc_cid=15c3440199&mc_eid=887b566860

I can't really justify the cost of a Poly suite, but this is now on my bucket/wish list. Maybe some day!

Why?

Well…it’s certainly not needed but its kinda like a cabana rental without the cabana. It’s a special seating area with better padded chairs. It doesn’t have the perks of a cabana like drinks, snacks, or a TV but it’s also much cheaper than a cabana. It’s a little treat if you are planning on spending a whole day at the pool.

Thanks - this makes sense and makes me feel better!

We saw pin trading boards in both shops this week. Not sure about the front desk.

We are booked at yacht club for end of august and was really hoping we might find a cancellation for the poly. Is it better to call and ask or keep checking online ?

Either way is fine, really. The reservations line can see the same availability that you can online.
