Hi, Tim, and welcome!

You're going to have such a great time!!!

Who is going besides you?

 

[Timarie]

Thanks, Everyone!

Our group is my wife and I, my daughter - 17, Son - 15, and my Mother-in-law. My kids have only been to Magic Kingdom before (once), so this will be their first real full Disney experience!

We are staying at the Polynesian.

You are going to LOVE the POlynesian!!! It's a total counterpoint to the frenetic craziness of the parks. There's a waterfall in the Volcano pool-- it hits your back like a massage. You will feel absolutely transported!!!

A few suggestions:
- hit walmart.com and pick up a few Mistymate personal misters: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Misty-2.5-Personal-Mister/19715437 They weigh next to nothing, don't use batteries, and can be a trip saver in the summer heat.

- Likewise, pick up some dollar store (or Walmart) disposable rain ponchos. They're a lot cheaper than the ones you can buy in the parks, and easy enough to always have with you.

- Place an order with gardengrocer.com. We get park snacks, breakfast stuff, and 2 cases of water (for my family of 5 for a week in August.) You'll be amazed at how much that stuff is in the parks.

Happy planning!!

Welcome! How exciting. I would love to stay at the Poly but I don't think it's in the cards for us. It's just as well, because I probably wouldn't be happy anywhere else after that! Oh boy oh boy, have a great trip!

Welcome! We're staying at the Poly in June, so we'll try to keep it in one piece for you.

You'll have to let me know what you think of the construction situation at the Poly during your trip.
