[PolynesianAlex]

Hmmm...did you get any type of discount?? I have a friend that is a travel agent....she would be able to get you a better deal if there are any discounts out there - she would know...I don't know if that $4200 is good or not really....how many people?? What type of tickets??

Channing

My wife and I just returned from 9 nights at the Grand. The cabana's were outstanding. They were even getting in new tables while we were there. Chris one of the cabana attendants was amazing. He went out of his way to make sure we wanted for nothing. He even printed our boarding passes for us so we didn't have to go to the hotel desk. Chris is an example of Disney Castmembers at their best. The cabanas are definatley worth the money. Back to reality time now

Chris also informed us that both the Contemporary & Poly will have cabanas. He will be the cabana trainor for both hotels. The Poly Cabanas will have thatched roofs. Sounds cool.

Cool news, grandflo. The thatched roofs do sound tropical.

mmmears and johnsonet, hope they're in place by the time of your trips.

BlueSkies, thanks for the info. I wonder if they will have cabanas at the BLT pool as well as the CR?

I may be wrong maybe Chan can help......

I believe Chris said the POLY was going to open up ONE cabana as a trial!?!?!?

If that's the case good luck booking it! I have a feeling its is gonna be very popular hard to come by!

Chris is awesome and SHOULD be the cabana trainer!
