Good Morning To All

Which day? We have changed some o our ADRs since we originally booked... I think we are finally set now!!

All changed! . I was thinking of switching to the Poly when the discounts came out. We haven't stayed in a while and never with our kids. They love visiting the Poly. I thought it would be a sure bet, but my DH would rather stay at AKL. I love it there too, so I guess I will have to wait. Glad you get to try it. I loved staying there.

AKL is on my bucket list!!!! I have visited while dining at Sanaa and fell in love. It's absolutely beautiful.

Haven't been able to convince DH or DD to try it yet, but one day....!!!!

And BC is a must for our trips, so maybe next year we will try BC and AKL

 

[ocalla]

We loved the Poly. BC and Poly are both great!! What an awesome split stay!!

I am leaving for sunny warm FL in 7 days!!!!! Just had to say that. I'm a little excited.

I'm so excited for you !!!

We'll overlap. July 28-aug 8. Do we need a secret wave or ID card?
