two parter - Cocoa beach and Polynesian Isle

[MrsDanielle]

Hello!

Will be in Orlando from Nov 18 to 25 with my dear mother (BTW it`ll be her first holiday since 1976!). Anyhow, we`ll be staying onsite at Disney from the 18 to 22, and then we`ll be checking in to Polynesian Isles Resort in Kissimmee. I did a search, but only found one reply. Does anyone have any recent experience with this place´(should be a question mark here, but I can`t figure out how to get rid of my French keyboard option!) I`ve looked on tripadvisor and a few other places, and all in all it seems to be rated quite well, I`d just like to hear a review, either positive or negative, from the DIS|

Second questions: On our last day, we`re planning on heading to Cocoa beach for the day. Since I`m keen on outdoorsy physical activities, I`m read about, and am now extremely interested in a kayak tour. From my research the various tour companies offer the same type of experiences. Does anyone have any experience with any of the companies (insert question mark) If so, pls contact me!


THANK YOu!

I'm searching it right now too! We are also staying in Nov. I haven't come across any bad reviews!
I'm trying to find how far the parks are and what grocery stores are there.
Have fun!

Had a wonderful experience at PI in March 2103. Condo was clean, clean, clean, and very ample for our family of five. Bathtub was AMAZING, kids filled it with bubbles lol. They still talk about it. Security was always at the gate when we came and went. Very easy drive to a Wal-Mart that was filled with WDW souvenirs. We ran into traffic only when we headed to the Publix. The resort is kind of tucked away so slow down when your GPS tells you to! It seemed like all parks were about 20 minutes away. It was too cold to use the pool while we were there...at least, we thought it was! There were a few brave souls in the pools and they (the pools) looked clean. There was an activity schedule that looked interesting with kareoke and some kids activities. I thought I saw a playground and basketball court but we were too busy to stop, lol. We did not get a big time share pitch. Only "downsides" were sharing the washer and dryer with our neighbor, although we had no issues; no elevators; and the "game room" was two older video games. But none of that affected our stay, and I would not hesitate to stay there again. Husband and kids feel the same way.
