hoochie - The crowds aren't too bad. Maybe a little more than a typical May, but not nearly as bad as spring break time. The Poly is great, location is the key with that resort... if you're the type of family that likes MK then you'll love it. Samoa is a great location. We are close to the pool and GCH. The only negative is with all the rain we get soaked trying to get back to our room from the monorail and/or bus. The Power Rangers were great... definitely a must see for boys.
We saw them right in front of Light Motors Action.
kala - I took a bunch of pictures of the new lobby. It's very nice. I'll post pictures when I get home. To get to Captain Cook's you just walk through the lobby, go to your left, then down the hall. It's in the same location.
hookedondizney - The best person to talk to about the rehab schedule would be Tikiman. He has connections with the staff. I can tell you that nothing is being done as of today.
Seaspray - Mostly I've noticed tons of Lilo and Stitch merchandise as well as lots more Princesses. They have expanded the second floor shop and then on the main level they have the gift shop and then the clothing store as well. Oh, and the Wyland Gallery. The other new store front is finished but not open yet. The arcade is still down in the Neverland Club building.
dreamingdisney - Mousekeeping hasn't been as good as we normally have. The first day we did not have our room cleaned at all!!! Needless to say we were really upset. But then when we talked to our mousekeeper the next day we saw her "earning my ears" nametag and felt bad for reporting her. But hey, even when you're new you can't miss a room.
After that problem things have been fine. No towel animals, but the room has been cleaned everyday. Turn down also.
Just wanted to add here that the free fridge was NOT, I repeat NOT in the room. We had to call down and request one.
pirateofthecarolinas - The castle is growing on me. At first I was like... "uhhhh", now I like it. It's just very different.
Steve - Tikiman... If there is anything you need please just let me know. I'm sure I'll have some free time over the next two days, especially if it keeps raining.
Actually, we're at our room at AKL right now... the boys are back at the Poly with a babysitter. We are here enjoying the media event and go back to Poly tomorrow morning. It's been fun having two homes the last couple of days.
Dave!!!
Yes I have had some celebrity moments!! A few times we've been stopped to take pictures with people and answer questions. I love it!
I got to meet lots of Travel Channel execs yesterday and today... the president is a great guy... I helped him and his wife with some insiders tips for the parks.
Howard is here too and is ready for a sequel!!!
Wouldn't that be cool???
As of tonight we have like 15 sitdowns, 17 counter service, and 20 snacks left and only two days to use them!!!!! I'll never do the dining plan again. We have eaten so much we are ill.
mybgirl - Good luck getting the room you want. It never hurts to ask.
brideintheattic - I will post a full trip report with pics of all the celebrities we've met.
I felt like a silly little movie star stalker over the last couple of days.
Lots of info and pics coming!!!
cdpa4d - Yes, the boutiki looks cool!
Took a bunch of pictures.
luvmarypoppins - Oh my gosh when did you check out???? I bet we saw each other and didn't even know it!!! We were the room directly across from you!!!!!
You might have saw us with a giant double stroller and two crazy little boys.
I didn't see the stroller decorated with lime green... my ribbon was on my backpack.
valeriekc - We haven't taken the monorail much. We prefer the boat to MK. The times we have taken the monorail we haven't had any trouble. Never took the express.
Twinglemum - Our boys are 3 and 5. The first time they had their eyes covered, but then they loved it and have begged to do it over and over.
Light Motors Action is just sort of ho-hum. Car going fast, lots of talking... too much talking. Soarin' was AWESOME though. We've done it twice so far and it's great. Also another huge highlight was the Crush show at Epcot. Totally cool dude!
scanne - mugs are still the same. Large style, same ones we got over two years ago.
I'll try to give more updates tomorrow!!!
Hope you have a bit of a vacation left after you finish your investigating! 
ALOHA!!!
