f, f, and n:

it would be nice to hear some of the highlights of your trip. Like me, others may not have any questions, per se, but between trips of my own, I love to read the details of others' trips.
What did you like about the Poly?? the parks?? We plan to eat at Ohana's next trip...what did you think of the dinner feast there? Where is the best table?

thanks!!

ok..here goes..

We loved the POLY!! Our room on 2nd floor of Tokelau building was overlooing "quiet pool". From our balcony we could see fireworks from MK at night-it was beautiful. The torches that light up the walkway at night were peaceful at the end of a long day in the parks.

Great pool and beach-too bad no hot tub, tho.
Would have liked to rent a water mouse, but ran ourt of time.

The Captains Cook 25 hour snack shop had a pretty nice variety. Ate dinner at 'Ohana and loved it!! Had a table facing the castle and it ws beautiful. Our son and 2 nieces had fun with the hula hoop contest and coconut racing. Food was good-loved the shrimp wontons with peanut dipping sauce, shrimp,beef, and even turkey was great!! Had a Lapu Lapu drink served in pineapple-was very good and potent!!

Loved all the new attractions (3 years since our last trip)
MK-Mickeys Philharmagic 3D show was awesome-my new 3D fav.
Big Thunder Mountain was down for rehab which was disappointing. Visited our favs-Space Mountain/Splash Mountain/Haunted Mansion etc. Had several dole whips !!
EPCOT-Mission Space was cool but thought too much hype about motion sickness. Enjoyed sampling at food/wine fest.
AK-was a hot steamy day so refreshing at Kali River Rapids. Bought the meal deal which was a great deal. Got front row seats for the parade which we all enjoyed.
MGM-loves Millionaire (was in top 10!!) TOT and Rock .n Roller coaster.
The crowds were very light except 10/25 pm at MK.

Ate at '50s Prime Time-food just ok. We prefer Sci-Fi.
Boma at AKL for dinner buffet-lots of different food-was fun to try it all-everyone helpful with explaining dishes.
'Ohana-as mentioned above. Chef Mickeys for dinner-great feast!! Loved the penne pasta and the parmesan potatos!! Nice to have a few minutes with the characters. Cinderella for breakfast-was suprised that food was hot and tasty!! Loved the princesses. After brekfast right into to FantasyLand for the all the attractions-walked right on!!

A great trip-Hope in another year or so.........

Thanks for sharing your trip with us. Sounds like you had a great time. Did your family take advantage of any of the childrens activities offered at the Polynesian, for example arcade challenge, pool games, arts and crafts etc.

We didnt take advantage of any organized games. Just enjoyed swimming in the pools,walking on beach, playing in sand and laying on the double hammocks!!
The arcade was closed during our stay-my son was disappointed. My husband took him to Contemporary one night and he loved it.
