Had a nice stay at the Poly Conceirge over the 4th of July holiday. I was very upset over the absolutley huge number of people let into the resort to view the fireworks. There were thousandts of people at the Poly to see the fireworks, far, far more than ever allowed in the past.

What bothered me was that I paid to use the amenities that the Poly offered. I was the guest there, I was the one who paid more for a deluxe resort for the amenities it offers. On the night of the fireworks, I arrived very early, only to have the last few chairs by the pool taken away by people staying at the Coronado Springs. That really upset me. That I paid the extra to stay at the Poly, and then paid more to stay in conceirge, yet at 5pm could not even get a chair for my 75 year old father to sit and view the fireworks. Plus the sheer number at the Poly was so out of control, I feel it was a real safety issue and threat. All it would have taken was one nut to yell bomb and you would have had mass confusion. It was dangerous in my estaimation. Anyone else there that night who stayed at the Poly agree with me. Maybe I am over reacting.

On a lighter note, I want to say who happy I was to meet some of the DIS people at the Poly. A few of us had our green ribbons on, a few saw mine and said hi. And I did get to meet the ever-famous Tikiman and his wife. So nice to see all of you, and I hope you had a safe trip home.
 
I thought they restricted access to the Polynesian that night. :rolleyes: I got annoyed last time we stayed there seeing a lot of people walking over from the TTC to swim in the volcano pool. One night I would have been very surprised if only half of the people swimming were Polynesian guests.:mad:

Welcome back! :) Nice to see you got to meet Tikiman.
 
Welcome Back!

:( Sorry about the Poly situation. It bothers me, too!
 
Hi!
I met you in the concierge lounge! I also could not believe the number of people all over the Polynesian on July 4. We watched the fireworks from our balcony, but there were so many people on the beach and the walkways. People who were not even staying at the hotel were carrying chairs from Captain Cook's over to the beach! I was also under the impression that they try to limit the amount of people at the hotel on July 4th. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip and it was so nice meeting you!

Oh Chris, you beat me with the number of post. And here I thought you had just a few (LOL). I was very glad to meet you and I hope you had a safe trip home. Did you fly or drive?
 
We drove and it wasn't bad at all. We've done it before so I guess we are used to it. What was your experience with the concierge cast members?
