One night when we walked over to the Poly, we happened to catch the end of the Luau (sp?).
The music sounded great as we approached, you can hear it from the path that connects the two resorts.
You can also take a ride on the monorail and the ferries just to get psyched up for the rest of your time at WDW.
We walked to the Poly, then to the TTC, and hopped a ferry to MK, then walked to the Contemporary, then rode the monorail back to the GF one afternoon....that was actually more fun than it sounds now.....LOL
