****LIVE from the Poly**** (5/05)

[TigrLvsPooh]

Hello Everyone! Sorry it's taken so long to post, we arrived on Friday and have been having a great trip. Tonight I finally have time to post (Tuesday night) because it's pouring the rain and we came back early.

So, if anyone has any Poly questions... or other WDW questions post here and I'll try to answer as fast as I can!!! We are in Samoa... great garden view room with view of pool, wedding pavilion, GF, EWP, lagoon, and partial Wishes view. I'll tell our room # later after we checkout.

Some basics....

No walls or visible construction at the Poly
Exteriors of new lobby stuff done, working inside now
Evening EMHs are fun, but more crowded than e-nights
Light Motors Action is boring
Haven't hit Soarin' yet
The dining plan is making us all sick from eating too much
Haven't seen Cinderellabration yet
The boys loved Stitch's Great Escape
Met StitchInside... only lime green ribbon I've seen!!!!

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.... I'll write more later.

Thanks for the post.

We are going to the POLY in August. No questions...just have a great time and don't forget to smell the roses

Would love to hear a report when you get home...hint, hint!!

I don't have any questions...yet... but I just wanted to say "Hi!" and I hope you have a "magical" time!! I can't wait to read your trip report when you come back.

Please tell me the rain will stop....we're leaving in the morning!

Are you happy with the Poly? What are the crowds like in the parks?

Did you do any shows? I'm booked at Ohana's tomorrow night and mickey's backyard bbq on Wednesday....I'm starting to wonder if I've over scheduled myself....PS's most days....

Maybe we'll run into you...I have two young boys too....they're hoping to see power rangers at mgm...have you hit that park yet?

Looking forward to poly tomorrow!

Hi!

Glad you're having such a great time!

Just wondering what the new construction areas in GCH look like? How is the configuration different from what you can see? What stores are reloacated so far? Is Captain Cook's still open and can you still get there from inside the lobby? Haven't been there since the construction began, but from what I've heard I'm curious as to what how different things will be...

Thanks,
Kelli

Hi! Thanks for asking....Can you find out what the construction schedule may be for the Tahiti bldg.? I have heard conflicting time frames. We will be arrive July 26-31 and supposedly this longhouse will be down for renovations. YUK this is the only longhouse/view I like! I am so dissapointed! Please, if you can find out anything I would be so greatful!
Thanks, Hookedondizney

Aloha and very cool that you posted while there! Hope you had a truly magical trip!

 

[SeaSpray]

Aloha!!

I'm glad you're having a great time! I don't have any real questions, but if you happen to be in the gift shops at the Polynesian, can you try and notice if they have any: Mickey & Minnie beanies dressed in Hawaiian outfits? Also, do they have "Polynesian Resort" ceramic coffee mugs? Do they have Polynesian Resort license plate frames?? What do the Polynesian Resort t-shirts look like these days?? Did they put an arcade in the lobby? Or is it still over near the Neverland Club?? Thanks!!!

And have a great time!

I'm so glad you've finally made it to WDW and you're having a great time! How do you like your room? How's the mousekeeping? We arrive on the 8th @ 6:30 am, I'll be sure to wear my lime green ribbons!
