Thanks to everyone for the help with my questions about the Polynesian. I have a good bit of time to think it over. I also wonder which would you choose Polt Or Contemporary? and why?

I mean Poly not Polt......haha

Hands down, Poly. The Polynesian is a resort. CR is just a hotel. At least that's how it is to me. The Polynesian has beautiful, lush grounds and is beautifully landscaped. CR is just a toaster shaped cement building that the monorail passes through. Just me 2 cents.

Poly....We stayed at CR for a good long time - many years in a row. Just for something different, and because Poly was the one resort on the monorail we had never tried, we decided to change one year. We have stayed there the last 3 years. We love CR, don't get me wrong, but Poly just has that "relaxed, I am on vacation" feel about it. I am a lover of good landscaping and palm trees, and both abound at Poly. It's just very peaceful there.

With regard to two sinks/room in the bathroom, I can say this. First, I think, but am not sure, that some of the rooms in Tokelau have two sinks - but not positive. Second, even if you go with one sink, there is sooooo much counter space around that one sink, if your concern is room for your toiletries, there is plenty. We are three adults and one kid, and we have plenty of room. To me, the short walk is more important. We enjoyed the view at Raratonga.

the Poly is much more relaxed and spread out than the Contemporary. There is nothing like laying in one of the hammocks watching the castle and the monorails (I suggest a nice drink to go with it...)

It's just a different atmosphere... The contemporary hits me more like a hotel... the Poly is more like a resort... (and has dole whips at Capt. Cooks)

I cannot remember which longhouse this is of, but it is on the walk to the Grand Floridian.

I had a view of hedges at Raratonga. So I will ask for something better if I end up staying there again. I do need the short walk. Do you think I should go Dec 4-10 at CR with MK view or Nov 13-19 at Poly?

 

[Tink rules]

In Dec you will be able to see ALL the resorts and the parks decorated for the holidays...

I've been dreaming of staying at the Poly since my first trip in the 1970s. We used to stay at Fort Wilderness when I was a kid ... I remember taking the boat with my older sister to visit the Magic Kingdom. We've just booked 9 days at the end of August. I can't wait! We've stayed at POFQ and CBR, but the Poly and Contemporary have been on my bucket list. Can't wait until August!

Are you a wish family? We did not go to GKTW but we are ardent MAW supporters and a wish family.

I don't want to interrupt, but do you know guys, that there is a thread: "ALOHA Poly FAQ - Winter 2011" where you would have lots more answers and lots more people to talk to about the Poly?

Poussière de fée!
