Here are two of the MANY pictures I took of Hallowishes last night:

After the Pooh breakfast we did BTMR, Haunted Mansion, Mickey's Phil., Small World, Peter Pan, and everything was either a walk-on or a short wait. I think the rain is keeping people away.

DH and youngest DS headed to the studios and I'm here in the room with oldest DS working on his homework. His teacher gave him a TON of stuff to do.

Tonight.... Ohana and EMH at Epcot

 

[TigrLvsPooh]

Leaving the room now for the rest of the day... a little shopping, dinner at Ohana, then to Epcot.

Anybody have questions about anything?

Tomorrow is AK and dinner at Teppen Edo. YUM

I am on the monorail headed back to CR. I am sooooooo sleepy!!! Having MNSSHP last night and then the pooh breakfast early this morning I am totally worn out. DH and the kids are still at epcot, so I'm alone and planning to lay in bed and watch the castle. . Dinner at ohana was good....but always bittersweet compared to the old days. But still fun.

Tomorrow is AK and dinner at Teppen Edo.

Are you making it to rope drop this morning for AK? I can't wait to hear about Teppan Edo we haven't been yet so I'm always interested in reviews! Hope the weather is nicer today!

I know I am back tracking a little but I was curious to know if you enjoyed your room at the Poly? We are going to stay at the Poly in August and I was going to request tokelau 3rd floor. Was room clean and how was the location (in proximity to GCH and TTA)? We are also considering Fuji and I noticed that you stated in the past, you stayed there. Please share your thoughts on Fuji and Tokelau. I would appreciate it.

Loving the live report!!! Thanks for taking the time to write.

We didn't make it! We actually just woke up and now we're thinking we'll switch AK to tomorrow and just hit DTD today. The kids have been wanting to eat at the T-Rex Cafe and see Legoland. Plus it's supposed to rain all day again. So we're heading to DTD, then back later this afternoon to regroup before going to Epcot for dinner at Teppen Edo.

Now that we've done Fiji, Samoa, Hawaii, and Tokelau I feel I have a better understanding of why some people request Tokelau. The room was HUGE, super spacious with lots of extra room for all the kids' stuff. The only downside was the view, because you can't see the lagoon, at least not from where we were, so if view is important to you then you might prefer a different location. From Fiji we could easily see the marina, volcano pool, lagoon, the CR, and from Samoa we could of course see the volcano pool, lagoon, the GF, and part of the EWP, so those buildings would win out for view. Of course Hawaii was awesome, but that's a whole different catagory. As for the TTC, yes it was closer. But we don't really use the TTC a lot when we're staying at the Poly, only when we go to Epcot. For MK we take the boat and for the studios and AK we take the bus.

Any other questions about Poly, CR, WDW, etc, let me have em!!!

Thank you so much for posting that information.

I wanted to update you on construction. Yesterday they brought in a bunch of cabinets to install in the new grab and go. Probably for chips and snacks, etc. So there was a lot of noise and progress ... so that's a good sign!

oh wow .... great Love your reports so far makes us feel like we are with you guys!!!! (sorry for the rain)

Ok, whoever designed the bathrooms in this resort was either an alien, or someone who never shaves, puts on makeup, curls their hair, takes out contact lenses, or has kids.

Seriously folks, ZERO counter space. No counter actually. Just these horrible, giant, zero entry type sinks that don't even wash the toothpaste spit down. They need to take them out... just some regular sinks with a COUNTER would work fine.

OH! Did I forget to post that youngest DS was the "Artist of the Day" yesterday at the Grab and Go??? His coloring was framed and hung there all day. I got some cute pictures of him standing with it. He also got a free mickey rice krispy treat. He was soooo excited!!

 

[TigrLvsPooh]

Just came from refilling mugs and MAJOR construction going on at the grab and go!!!!

 

[TigrLvsPooh]

Met up with Nana and Papa yesterday! They came down for the weekend to see us!

Subbing...love the trip reports. Heading back for girls week-end 12/6. Hope the rain stops shortly - still raining on the coast.

 

[TigrLvsPooh]

Something strange going on at DTD. All entrances to parking at westside and old PI are closed. Including AMC.

 

[BlueSkies]

Erika Hope the weather gets better...Looking foward to hearing about Teppan Edo-never eaten there yet...

Enjoy your day-keep us posted

Glad to read you are having fun! Weren't we at the BC together in April/May? We're headed back in December for a surprise.

 

[TigrLvsPooh]

Talked to several CM's and they are "not at liberty to discuss" what happened at DTD this morning! hope it wasn't a death or anything too horrible. If anyone knows what happened let me know.

We ate at T-Rex Cafe for lunch and did a bunch of shopping. Had Ghiardelli and now we're on the bus headed back to the CR for swimming!

Its a beautiful day!!!!
