Now I have my eye on that shrunken zombie head glass! Is it August yet??
Perfect! Hoping to talk my DH into a Poly weekend getaway at some point...I'm already plotting my tiki glasses! What do you have your eye on?Glad this is our home resort this trip - stumbling distance to the room will be helpful

That sounds like a well thought out plan! I like it! You will love the Poly! It was our fave but DH struggles with change and cannot reconcile the renovation changes! He misses the waterfall and refuses to stay there! I miss the waterfall too but want to go back and now you've given me another reason! Much easier to collect tiki souvenir glasses when you're staying there!The Poly has been my dream resort for way too long! Hope you get your stay soon . I'm eyeing the zombie head, rum flight, hippo and uh-oa. We have 4 pool days so one a day
Haha for sure!! And I had to pull DH away from the Contenporary so I feel your pain! We're already planning a bounceback in 2018 and hoping this is the first of many Poly trips!
@TheFloatingBear One thing I'd note is that the packaging/box for some of the drinks can be pretty darn big. I got the Nautilus once, the box/styrofoam it comes in is easily 3 times the size of the drink vessel, which is already big!
I had a heck of a time trying to pack it in my luggage going home. I eventually had to remove it from the box/styrofoam and pack it in the middle of my clothes in my suitcase. I was for sure it wouldn't survive the flight, but it did.
Hope you get to go and don't have to wait too long, if at all.
I was waiting for you to weigh in, lol! I know you're a big poly fan like me! You know, I had just been thinking about the luggage aspect and planning carry-on space! But I didn't think the Nautilus would be THAT big, lol! I really need to think this through...I'm glad yours survived the trip! But thanks, hopefully the pixie dust will be blowing our way and we'll get in quickly!
Between my sister and I on our first trip to Trader Sam's, we left with: Nautilus, Uh-Oa, Krakatoa, Hippopotomaitai, and the Zombie head. Two enormous bags we then had to lug to Epcot (dinner at Biergarten and Illuminations) and then to Hollywood Studios for Star Wars fireworks. Thankfully I didn't leave them under a table or something.
My daughter, 27, drank most of the nautilus herself and wasn't drunk. Her boyfriend helped a bit.
LOL! It was this trip that taught me to "leave a little room" in our suitcases to make sure we had enough space to haul our loot back home! Or at least manage our carry-ons. Not that we buy much stuff, but it seems we inevitably pick up something along the way.
I've only been to the inside of Trader Sam's a handful of times (all in the 4ish-8 range) but fortunately I've never had to wait. I think I've been lucky.
Y'all seem to be planning a lot of fun things on this trip!
We're hoping to make a visit before heading to the Luau show when we visit. I have my eye on the Hippopottomaitai!
Here's a great article I found that talks about the drinks and their respective glasses.

I want them all, lol! thanks for posting this! I'm a rum fan, so pretty much most of the drinks themselves are pretty appealing! I would splurge for the Nautilus, but isn't it a lot for one person? Or is it the glass you're paying for? I don't know, the rum flight is a dark horse...looks cool!
I think the Nautilus is a two-person drink generally (I know I couldn't do it by myself unless I wanted to be puking in a corner somewhere)... but the glass is *so* cool!
