Poly and trip pics

[denman007]

I finally got some of my vacation photos online.

We stayed LVC room 3501. Considering we only paid about $50 extra a night for concierge, it was well worth it. They booked many extras for us including CRT and Illm. cruise. We took advantage of evening services about 5 out of the 7 nights and I had about 30 sugar cookies during the week.

Wasn't as happy with Boma and Ohana's this time but Cape May Cafe was awesome.

We had a great time and got very lucky with the weather. Would stay Poly again if we got another great deal.

My only suggestion, and I think I will write to them, is to make the enitre Hawaii building smoke free.

Here's some pics...thanks for looking...

So did you tell them when you got there that you wanted the Illuminations Cruise? My mom is staying LVC and we're really hoping to get into the Illuminations Cruise.

Thanks Tink.

Dreams91,

We told them about 100 days out we wanted the cruise for a particular day(Sunday). They couldn't get it at the 90 day mark. When we arrived, I told them any day would be fine. Nothing avail, but they would keep trying. On Monday, they got it booked for Wednesday - I assume it was a cancellation. It was awesome! Big comfy boat just for the 3 of us - if I would have known that, I would have had some more people show up.

If you do get it, be at the boardwalk by 8pm...the earlier you show up the longer your relaxing cruise is. We got there at 8:15 and the captain was waiting for us.

Good luck.

Thanks for the pics - I was wondering how "visible" the fireworks would be from the rooms - I can see by your pictures I have NOTHING to worry about!!! It looks awesome. Also, thanks for the Illuminations cruise - we are hoping to book one also for DSs b'day.

Denman007, what was that picture of the white horses and the carriage? Can we rent those?

 

[denman007]

Dis,

The carriage was for a mid week wedding that was taking place. But I'm sure you could rent it if you really wanted to.

Great pics! I will be there is 4 days and it can't get here quick enough. How did you only pay $50 extra for LVC? Did you get a deal beforehand or ask for an upgrade at check in?

 

[denman007]

Skiwee,

It was the 7 for 4 deal so the net cost of the upgrade was about $57 per night - I think.

 

[Laralyn]

Wow! Those are really good pictures! Thanks for posting them.

 

[dreams91]

NIce photos! Yeah, the carriage is $2500 to rent and only goes around the parking lot!! I know because I'm crazy enough to rent it for my wedding!!

My only suggestion, and I think I will write to them, is to make the enitre Hawaii building smoke free

while they are not concierge...there are 9 other longhouses that are smoke-free
