The *ALL NEW* Polynesian Resort FAQ thread - *APRIL 2009*

[ckdsnynt]

subscribing, have been reading this thread all day supposed to be working

Yeah, know what you mean! I justify it because I need to know everything abiut the Poly before December and a girl has to do what a girl has to do, right?

So excited!

Today is my 90 day and I forgot about it. I pulled up my e-mail first thing this morning and there was an e-mail from the Poly IPO with my itinerary and they got me all my ADR's right at the exact time I requested. We only had three requests but very happy to say the least at the outcome We are doing breakfast in the Castle. This has become a tradition. And we are finally going to do the Luau. We got Cat 1 seats so I hope they are good!

We booked some cruises and excursions and the Pirate league and they also purchased our MNSSHP tickets! I am a CL lover now

I also requested a dinner at the GF Cafe as we have never eaten there so I thought it was worth a try for dinner one evening. Between the lounge offerings and CS, we are going to wing any more TS meals.

I am so looking forward to this trip. I felt funny about taking vacation time after being off for Medical leave for so long but all my co-workers are so supportive and excited for me.

Kudos to the Poly IPO!!

Now that the 90 day point is here it feels so real. All the planning is done!

That's great! Poly IPO is awesome. They got us everything we wanted too. I remember how excited I was to open that email. You'll be there before you know it. I can't believe we have less than 10 days to go now.

Hi. Tikiman lists one of Tokelau's "cons" as "rooms only have one sink."

I am pretty sure we had 2 sinks at Tokelau last time we stayed there....our bathroom was layed a little differently than a lot of the pics I have seen.

As a newbie to the Poly, are these services only for the CL level? I have wanted to do breakfast at CRT forever and never got through. With Free Dining, I really don't have a chance now!

 

[TwoTinkersMom]

Have fun!!!! I can't wait to here back from you guys!

Yes, my ADR's were made by the Poly IPO which is an amenity of CL. Keep trying though because I was browsing the online reservation system last night and plenty of CRT reservations were available. I was shocked at how many prime reservations were available. Good Luck!

ok concierge pros....

what type of bottled water is in there in teh lounge? is there plastic dasani bottles??

when we stayed concierge in 2002 there was, then we stayed at YC concierge in 2005 and there wasn't.
now someone posted they had them at the YC recently....

so....this is important...as we would not have to buy a case of water if we stayed there....are there on the go bottle waters??????

thanks !!

 

[jackdis]

Larger glass bottles of Evian are put out where the drinks/snacks are. I did not see the smaller plastic bottles of Dasani that you mention.

 

[Caitsmama]

Um, as far as i can remember from March, we stayed CL at the Poly, and there was NO bottled H2O, just the large glass bottles of Evian. And that was just a few months ago... so unless it's changed.... it's just soda in the fridge in cans.

From what I understand, they have large glass bottles of water and that the CMs will give you a bottle for your room if you request.

 

[Caitsmama]

Exactly. They will happily give you a large Evian glass bottle, but not smaller Dasani's or anything.

Can anyone help me -- i am looking for the exact cost for an adult and child for the Ohanas breakfast with Lilo. And, is it worth it??
