Poly Hot tub

[jjameson]

Ok. Need some help with this one. Visiting with my DB is June and we are on the fence between the Poly or the BC. Stormalong Bay isn't a big selling point for us, but having a spa is! We are big hot tub people and we are afraid we will miss being able to relax in the hot tub after a long day in the parks. But we've never been to florida in June, so is it going to be too hot and humid for the hot tub anyways? Thanks for your help. We both really appreciate it.

My husband LOVES his hot tub and will sit in it no matter what month (he often sits in it in Vegas in August when he goes on business) and he and I have been in the one at the CSR in September when it has been 95. Whether you will miss it at the Poly or not...only you can decide.

I'll tell you we did very much miss a hot tub during our summer trip to the Poly (it was memorial weekend and hot as all get out). For one thing, the Poly pool was freezing and my kids who are skinny and always cold, love being able to switch over to a hot tub when they get too cold in a pool.

All that said, the Poly was so amazing we did enjoy it. But other than the awesome view of the castle from the pool area, the pool area itself was a big disappointment. I think it is that resort's weakest link and I must say when we switched over to Old Key West later in the trip, we were very glad to have that pool and its hot tubs. Even without the cool view! But the rest of the resort made up for its pool area and we loved the experience and would definitely stay there again. But not in the winter when a hot tub is even more key for us.

If Stormalong Bay is no biggie, but that Epcot area is, have you considered Boardwalk? Since its a DVC resort it has a hot tub in its quiet pool too which is a lovely, peaceful quiet pool. Of course BC's quiet pool has a hot tub too I believe.

Oh yeah, we have been to WDW in hot and humid months and all of us enjoy the hot tub at night. Good for my skinny kids, good for mom and dad's tired feet and backs!

My husband would live in a hot tub if I let him...he prefers the YC and the BWI because the quiet pool and hot tub are always empty and he has the place to himself but the Poly is his favorite resort of all time so he will make the concession and use the little hot tub jet alcove in the volcano pool when it isnt mobbed with kids

Correct me if I'm wrong but you can use the spa and fitness facilities at the Grand Floridian since the Polynesian does not have those facilities. They include saunas and hot tubs. (I have only read about this.)

Yes it is correct. You can use the jacuzzis in the spa at the GF (it's actually about 2/3 of the way to the GF, in between the Poly and the GF) at no charge.

We thought we might do that, but never felt the need to. We did like the bubble jets in the Poly pool. There is so much chlorine in the hot tubs at WDW (for obvious reasons) that the steam really bothers my eyes, so much so that I don't enjoy the hot tubs there. Plus they tend to be very crowded with little kids.

If it is a big deal to you, though, the GF has hot tubs and so does the CR.
