The *NEW* Polynesian Resort FAQ thread - *SEPT 2008*

[Mr.FOLs]

Question about the ihomes in the rooms, do they have all of the different docking port adapters available (they are the little plastic insert meant to fit the video, classic, nano, etc.) or should I bring my own adapter from my ihome so I'm sure my ipod will dock without a problem?

I used my Ipod and did not notice any adapters..

Love that episode and love the Brady Bunch!!

I think i'll go for a walk outside now
the Polynesians callin my name
(i hear ya now)
i just can't stay inside all day
i gotta get out get me some of those rays (from the tikitorches)
everybody's smilin
Polynesian day

So don't you agree they should show the hawaii episodes on the beach?
maybe some of us can get together and bring a laptop with a dvd player and we can have our own brady party.



hasn't anyone stayed in a one bedroom princess suite... id love to stay if we can find out how many it can hold.

YES! I think they should....I'd be out there every night! I second the Brady party!!! How much fun would that be!!??

As for the princess suite, I'll send a pm with a link to a great site with the layouts!

 

[dragonflydoll2]

Thanks for all the info everyone!!

We will be staying at the Poly for the first time this trip and all your info has been greatly appreciated. Keep the tips coming.

 

[Caitsmama]

hi everyone! I will be arriving at the Poly next week at this time!

We are staying in the Hawaii build. LVC. Can someone who has come back recently from staying concierge, please tell me what kind of foods have been put out lately? (Mostly looking for the 5pm stuff) Thanks!!

 

[BreezysMom]

Just got an e-mail update from Steve aka tikiman, and he gave a hint that something new is coming to the Poly in April...What could it be. I am so curious.

Anyone have a clue? A rumor you may have heard...

The two nights we stayed that had pulled pork sandwiches, spring rolls, veggies with dip, hummus and pita bread, PB&J uncrustable sammies, chips and salsa and more I just can't remember. Then later in the evening it was a beautiful array of yummy bite size sweets!

I can't wait to go back and fully utilize the lounge. DH and I joke that we will plan our park hopping in between the the food offerings...

It was mentioned on the GF FAQ thread that the Poly and CR will be getting cabanas like the GF has, but that the Poly one would have a thatched roof. We'll have to wait and see if that is it.

Whatever it is coming in April -- I hope it's good!

Ooooh! You are in for a major treat BreezysMom has given you a nice list of offerings (they have sushi some nights too~) but let me just say you will be in heaven in LVCL. Is it your first time?

In December, I know I remember the spring rolls, hummus, and my favorite, the BBQ ribs!!!

You will LOVE LVC! After getting to try it once now I'm split between staying LVC again or actually going to Hawaii.

I think a beach Brady party sounds swell! I have the Brady Bunch's greatest hits on CD somewhere.

I'm also curious about the suites. I'm planning on coming with my husband and kids and then my sister and her husband, so there will be a total of 7. I'd like to either get adjoining rooms or get a suite, depending on cost - it seems like it might cost less to get the suite than to get two rooms. Of course, then I guess I'd have to share a bathroom with my sister. That didn't work out so well when we were growing up.

And depending on how much I save up between now and next Christmas, I'm thinking of splurging for club level. My husband thinks I have lost it.

I priced the suites a couple times a few years ago when our son's fiancee joined us making a party of six. Even two LVC rooms were cheaper at that time than a suite that would sleep all of us.

Fellow Polynesian fans, we're headed to WDW next week. We're not staying at the Polynesian at all this trip but will be having breakfast at Kona at least once. Does anyone want me to check on anything? I remember mmmears wondered about Neutrogena sun block.

 

[DisneyBride'03]

Can you find out if there is any truth to the "cabana" rumor? SOmeone posted pics and info on the CR thread this morning!!!

Have a great time..so jealous leaving this IL weather! lol

Yes, I have changed again, followed my heart back to Poly (FTW and 1st visit ever)..just so tired of changing my tickers! LOL

I hope you have a wonderful trip! And thanks so much for remembering...

If they dont sell it at WDW, I think I can get it from GardenGrocer. We are going all carry-on this time and our sunscreen is not allowed on board...
