I can't believe I just went through all 80-something pictures of this thread. I am so excited, thanks everyone for posting pics. I vow to contribute when I go in over a month. This thread inspired me to buy a Canon Powershot SD1400 to take pics with

OK, you Poly people are who I need to talk to. I have booked a MK view for November 13-19, 2011. I was told by an agent that I would be in the Hawaii section. But then I was told this was only the concierge bldg. I really want a pretty view and a fairly short walk to the monorail or bus. I don't know if I should change my res. and just request another section. I don't know if it will be worth the money for MK view. I want a newly remodeled room, with 2 sinks in the bathroom. The only time I have stayed there they were renovating all around and our room was not very nice and fresh. It will only be me, 64 and my daughter 44 on this trip. We are not interested in the pools, could be too much noise at night. I just need some good advice from someone who knows a lot about the Poly. If I keep my MK view, which section should I request? Or which other bldg should I ask for.? Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Hawaii is the club level building. Is that what you reserved? We booked a Theme Park View the year before last, and we stayed in Tahiti. I have to say, that I likely would not spend that extra money again for several reasons. Number one, if you want a fairly short walk, Tahiti or Hawaii are likely not the buildings for you. I felt it was a hike. Last year we stayed at Rarotonga. It was literally steps away from the Great Ceremonial House, monorail and busses. It did not however have the two sinks, but it did have a nice view. We requested a view that did not face the parking lot, so the view we got was of the quiet pool and the fabulous landscaping. We really liked it a lot. If two sinks are really important to you, you can try Tokelau. It is a little further away from the GCH, but does have the two sinks. Good luck! We love it at Poly!!

I just asked for a MK view. I called back a few days later to see which building I would have and he said Hawaii. But I didn't ask for concierge. So I don't think this would be right. I think I have stayed in the Rarotonga and it was very close but I had NO view at all. and only one sink. So which one I ask for if I give up MK view? one that is not such a long hike but with a nice view? and two sinks!!

If two sinks is your major concern, you'll need to request one of the few rooms in Tahiti or Rapa Nui that have a dual sink configuration. These are the two newer buildings and the only buildings that have bathrooms with two sinks, and not all rooms have them. I'm not sure which rooms exactly, so there may not even be a MK view room with two sinks. Tuvalu is closer to the GCH and offers some very nice MK view rooms, but will not have any bathrooms with a double sink.

Sadly, neither Tahiti or Rapa Nui is a "short" walk to the monorail or bus stop. Although they are both rather close to the TTC, where you can go to get pretty much anywhere (except to another resort).

Honestly though, I don't find any of the walk times to be an issue when we stay there. There is nothing that we consider a long walk. But, that's just my opinion, some walks are definitely longer than others.

The Hawaii building is strictly Club Level, so it's doubtful that you'll be in that building unless you requested and paid for Club Level.

Tokelau has only one sink, at least my room on the third floor had only one. We did have a MK view though. From our balcony we only had to look to the right & the castle was right there. Its not a great view like Hawaii, but you can still see the castle. We had the quiet pool right in front of our view & we were close to the GCH, bus stop & TTC.

Don't forget that Tonga is also a Club Level building because over there is their various suites.

Skip the sinks and stay in Hawaii... isn't that concierge?
