They are reconfiguring the entrance, it may change.

I searched the plans and don't believe I saw that it will be changed, but I would be happy if I was wrong!

I loved the resort, but did not like how busy it felt and how many people that were hanging out there that were not staying at the Poly (or even on Disney property at all! We camped out in some chairs on the beach to watch fireworks one night and heard multiple families talking about how nice it is but how they could never pay what it cost to stay at WDW...)

I think Chingy, Ludacris, and Snoop Dogg put it well —

(Whachu doin?) Nothin', chillin' at the Polyday Inn…
(Who you wit'?) Me, and my family won't you bring four of your friends…
(What we gon' do?) Watching fireworks with my Lapu Lapu and toes in the sand…
One thing leading to another, then we offsite again

Sorry, couldn’t resist

Just curious if you were using Magicband+ or the regular Magicbands. We always have trouble with our regular mb not opening the door and wondered if guests are having trouble with the newer mb+ as well.

Hi. Family of 5. 4 of us have Magicband+ and 1 of us has the regular Magicband. None of them worked. They each had to be refreshed in the system via the employee's tablet.

I'm used to all that. The problem was that there was no staff in the Poly Tower when we arrived to fix those problems or even give us a key card. When you're dropped off by Mear's, with luggage, it's not the easiest thing to coordinate with people in the GCH about problems in the Tower.

yes. this was my exact point. 100% agreed. I was annoyed the MBs didn't work but I was more annoyed at figuring out how to fix the problem with my family sitting in the lobby late at night with all our luggage. It was our first time at the Tower and I didn't know there would not be someone there to help us out when we arrived.

Same thing happened to me. It was annoying because I arrived late but knew we should be able to get into our room with our Magic Bands. Instead, none of our Magic Bands would work on the elevators nor, as we learned later, our rooms. We ended up searching around the main lobby for someone to help us to no avail. Eventually we found a phone on the wall and had to call over to GCH and wait for someone to come over with a tablet to fix all of our Magic Bands. I thought checking in online would have saved us time by allowing us to go straight to the tower but, in the end, it was a waste of our time.

They are definitely aware of the issues, as we were flagged down by a CM who guessed we were arriving. She said she wanted to ensure ours worked in the elevator because the tech had been glitchy. The question now is if and when they're going to correct the issue.

The MB+ are known for this , i have had ones replaced - it is a little known secret that if your MB+ fails and you bring it back to the store they will frequently issue a credit for a new one. This is not written anywhere but I have had success. I have over 30 of them and have noticed 3 fail. 10% failure is not a great rate for such a simple product.

We've had the opposite experience. It was the MB2.0 that we had constant issues with. I've been shocked at how few times we've encountered problems with the MB+.
