Just found this thread today. We are going in Sept. to the Poly and it'll be my first time there since 1989 when I was in 4th grade. My DH and I have 2 kids (ages 4 yrs and 22 mths). I was reading some of your great posts. I had a question about having groceries delivered, like bottled water. Can anyone tell me what the website for this is? If we take water bottles, can we just keep refilling them in the parks at water fountains? If this is the case, I'm not sure I need to order groceries.
FOr groceries and water, try either www.gardengrocer.com or www.wegoshop.com for just water, try www.staples.com
When I booked our dining reservations, I couldn't get the Kona for 7:30am, when I thought they opened...they had 7:50 available one of the days. Can someone tell me, if we just show up at 7:30 for breakfast on the mornings we want to eat there, could we get in or are they really that crowded that we have to wait for our reservations. We really don't know if we'll want to eat breakfast there a lot of the days, or just eat in the room. Also, for other quick breakfasts, do you recommend stopping at the Contemporary for their cafeteria style option? It didn't seem like the Polynesian had too much to offer for breakfast since we don't want a sit-down meal each morning.
For a quick breakfast, go to Captain Cook's. It's the fast-food type place Here's the menu: http://allears.net/menu/menu_chh.htm . You can get hot food made to order-- pancakes, tonga toast, etc, or grab a muffin or some fruit. You can also get the refillable mugs for $15 or so, good for unlimited coffee/tea/soda bought at the Poly for the duration of your stay. Also, keep in mind: you can order lots of that breakfast stuff from the links I gave you above.
The "reservation" system is a bit misleading. When you get there, 15 minutes before the time on your ADR, your name is put on a list for the next available table. So the odds are good taht you'll be able to be seated fairly quickly at that hour of the morning.
My parents are going along and will be staying in the room next to ours, it is their 40th wedding anniversary year.
Congrats to them! Last week was our 20th!
And this is off the topic of the Poly, but does anyone have any luggage recommendations...we have been married 7 years and still haven't bought luggage and I guess now is the time. We are Costco members and I was going to check there.
I saw some at BJs last week-- I didn't check into it, but I imagine you'll be able to find some at Costco. Also, be sure to tie a bright bandana or string to your luggage to make it easier to find when you return home.
Thanks everyone! I hope to get more time to read all the posts!!
We never have a car at Disney so that is the really weird part. Candy???? I may be losing it! 
I guess I have the Poly on my mind! 
This cracked me up!
even if it's a bit different. 
Have a Mai Tai as you join us.
