Any or all advice will be very helpful. Sorry to disappoint everyone, for I cannot afford a divorce and i would truly miss the kids if I did not follow their wishes..
Okay so what are you wanting to know exactly?
The Poly is a wonderful resort. I would do lagoon view if at all possible. It is amazing to sit out on your balacony and watch the castle change colors at bed time.
You said you had been many moons ago. Did you stay onsite then? If so there is always a possibility that Disney will have a code associated with your info. Ask when you call for ressies. If they don't you can go ahead and book your room but keep an eye out or call back every once in a while to see if any codes have come out. Mousesavers . com is a great place to check for codes.
There will be 3 dining plans in 2009. Quick service is 2 CS meals and 2 snacks for each night of your stay, plus refillable mug. CS meal is: 1 entree or combo meal and one dessert plus nonalcoholic beverage. (No dessert with breakfast. They substitute juice). $29.99/$8.99
Regular dining is 1 CS, 1 TS and 1 snack for each night of your stay. No mug.
CS same as above. TS is entree and dessert (or full buffet). TS doesn't include an appetizer for adults but does include one for children. $39.99/$10.99
Deluxe is 3 meal credits (can be either CS or TS) and 2 snacks for each night of your stay plus refillable mug. Appetizers and desserts included at TS for everyone. $71.99/$20.99
The prices are per night of your stay, not per day.
From what I have seen most people say the Deluxe plan is just too much food.
Also make sure you make your dining reservations well in advance. I think they will be back to 180 day advance adr's by the end of Oct. The Dis has March hours posted already. Check them & check which parks have extra magic hours so you can decide which park you want to go to on which day so you can plan your dining reservations around that.
For Magical Express you just give your airline info to Disney's hotel reservation line. They will send you tags to attach to your bags and a booklet with tickets for getting on ME. Once you get to the airport you go directly down to ceck in with ME, they will send you to your hotel line, you get on the bus and they drop you at your resort. Your luggage will appear in your room later in the day. If you will want to swim or change before doing anything you will need to pack something in your carry on bags.
You may be going ealy enough that it won't be extremely busy. Easter is around the middle of April in 09 I believe. There are ways to avoid lines in disney too. We can get more in to that later if you want.
If you need any help planning just let me know. We spend more time at Disney than at Universal so that is what I am good at.
And go have fun!
yes your AP will get you complimentary parking in the garage
thanks all
