In your first picture of the quiet pool, is that the Hawaii building to the rear of the pool?

Beautiful pictures, I love how the Poly looks early morning. Can't wait to be there soon

While I am not the photographer, I can answer your question. The longhouse pictured is Rarotonga.

I agree excellent photos, and nice to see them taken at a quieter time of the day when the pools are empty.

Looking forward to taking some of my own in August when we stay at the Polynesian.

While I am not the photographer, I can answer your question. The longhouse pictured is Rarotonga.

Actully, based on the position of the pool steps, I believe it is Samoa.

Actully, based on the position of the pool steps, I believe it is Samoa.

Hmmm. . .I'm looking at the deep end of the pool to the left of the frame and can see the deep end ladder on the south side of the pool. This would put you around the entry at the shallow end near the bathhouse and facing almost south or southeasterly???? At least that is the perspective I get. That would make it Rarotonga to the south of the quiet pool.

The quiet pool runs east and west while Samoa runs north and south and is located to the west of the quiet pool. I hate to argue with the photographer, but I don't think you can get a nearly east/west photo of the quiet pool with Samoa in the background.

Your photo of the steps to the volcano pool puts you in between Hawaii and Samoa.

Your photos are lovely regardless of which longhouse you depicted!

Okay - I stand corrected. Here is another view that I think shows Samoa in the background.

Please ignore the flying child - this is the quiet pool afterall. I don't know who these people are.

I'm sorry if I offended you--it wasn't my intention. . . I was trying to make sure the poster asking about the longhouse had correct information IF they were seeking it to make a request.

You're flying child is definitely flying with Samoa in the background.

Tess - no problem at all - I was not offended. My husband will tell you I hate to be wrong but will freely admit it when I am.

I will also admit to being a little directionally challenged. One day on our last trip I arrived at the pool, hot and exhausted after staying longer at the park with half of our party while the other half went back to enjoy the pool. I had my husband point out which building was Tokelau as in my overheated state I didn't want to walk an extra step! (and I was headed toward Hawaii).

I'm in love with this thread!

We'll be here the week before Labor Day... and it's a complete surprise! (I can say it on here since no one else in my family is on the Dis!) My little sister & Jake don't even know we're going to Disney World, the whole trip is a surprise to them. My brother who's going on the trip with us & my Dad think we're staying at Pop Century. I'm still thinking of a way to surprise them with the news that we're staying here at the Poly!

All of these pictures make me wish I was on the beach right now sipping on a Lapu Lapu! YUMMM!

What longhouses would yall request?

Maybe if you go on the Magnets thread, you will find some kind of invitation that whether tjbaggott or millipie or jordak - providing their computers work - could help you with.

Good luck and lots of pixie dust!
