Hi! I've been reading your trip report since you started and I LOVE it!!! I'm about your age and I will be staying at the Polynesian with my family on our trip to WDW in September. I'm enjoying reading about the hotel and the rest of Disney from another teen's point of view. I just got my account so I thought I should tell you how much I'm loving it! Keep up the good work & I can't wait for more!!!

So we are eating at Tepan Edo in September and I am curious about what you said about it being hard to find. Would you be able to describe it so I might have an easier time locating it when we go?

Thanks

Sure. When you first get to Japan (the main area) and you are facing the main area, to your right there are some stairs. You have to go up them and then walk down a little to your left. It's in those doors. Once you are in there you see the other restaraunt. Go to the right and there is the check in desk. Then when you get to go in, the waitress will bring you in there. So that's about it :]

Teppan Edo is definatly worth it. I would recommend the Steak and Chicken, it was sooo yummy! The post above answers your other question :]

Welcome! And thank you! Cool, the Poly is AMAZING! I hope you have a GREAT vacation! I also enjoy reading the TR's made by the other Teen DISers :]

Okay! UPDATE!

So, this is day 6 of our 9 day vacation :[

Well, I woke up at 9:00 and got ready for Hollywood Studios! Again! Hopefully this time we get to ride RNRC!

Once we got off the bus my dad headed over to ToT and RNRC to get FPs. While he was getting them my mom took a few pictures:

Oh, don't forget the subway!

Then we headed over to ride the Muppets 3D (4D) ride!

Here are a few pictures while we were waiting to get in.

Me and Kermit

Me and the Muppeet Vision 3D sign

Joel and the Muppet Gang

We finally got in! The show was cute, as always!

As we were walking we came upon a few picture perfect spots!

First, MY car (I was driving it ;] )

And second, WE'RE GOING TO HOLLYWOOD!

Well, after our pictures my dad and Jonathan started off towards...

I've, unfortunatly, riden it once. Worst experience ever. I rode it three years ago. My dad, Jonathan, mom, and my Dad's friend's son went on it. My dad and I were seated in the front row. In the very center. Yay. My mom, brother, and Dad's friends son rode in the back row. On the side. Lucky. Well... it was not very fun. I remember that ride so vividly! At first, the doors wouldn't close, which scared me. Then we went through the little ghost experience thingy then we sat there for what felt like ten minutes until... drop! Down we went, then back up, then we stopped and stayed still for so long then we dropped, and all of the over and over again. The whole time I was about a foot out of my seat and my dad had his hand on my leg the whole time, so by then end I had a huge red mark on my leg from where my dad had had his hand. Oh, and what made it worse? At the very top it feels like you come right out of the hotel and you can see the whole park. Yea, scarier when you're front row, center stage. Now, I'm afraid of elevators. No lie :]

Well, they rode it. And while they were riding it my mom got Joel and me icecream, yay!

My mickey icecream bar

Joels twirly popsicle (DB's LOVE them)

Finally, the insane gang got off ToT and told us how much fun it was (My mom doesn't like ToT and Joel's never riden it, he's too scared). Whatever. So finally, it's time for the BEST ride in the whole wide world...

Rock 'n' Rollarcoaster!

My mom, me, and Jonathan are the only ones who ride it, we rode it once before and fell in love with it.

So we got in the FPs line and had practically no wait. Soon we were about to sit down in our 'limo'. Jonathan and me in a row and my mom and a single rider behind us. The single rider was a girl around my age whos family didn't know they got in the single rider lane, but oh well. She was nice. I dont think she ever rode it before so we told her what it was like. Soon we moved infront of the big circle that you go through when you go from 0-60. Then we sat there for what felt like forever, they were trying to build up our nerves, so me and Jonathan just held on the the bars and whispered to each other how excited we were. Then it TOOK OFF. I can't even explain how fast it goes. It's like WHOA. Then you go upside down like 2-3 times. It really is a thrill! BEST RIDE EVER (well tied with EE). So after our AMAZING experience we went to get lunch at ABC (it's like the ONLY airconditioned Quick Serivce in HWS).

Jonathan got a cheeseburger:

Joel got kids chicken nuggets:

And my salad :] It was an Asian salad, it was okay, I didn't really like it.

My parents both got A Bleu Burger:

For desert, everybody but my dad had some chocolate desert:

Continued on next post due to amount of pictures.

 

[MickeyisBeast]

My dad had a strawberry desert:

After lunch my dad, Jonathan, and I left and went back to the Poly to relax. My mom and Joel stayed to ride Star Tours,

Watch the Lights, Motor, Action show (which I hate with a passion, the first time I watched it, was great, but in my opinion, it's a show that you can't really watch more than once possibly twice.

And I think they barely caught the Indiana Jones show (I wanted to see it, but I didn't this time :[ ) I dont think they took any pictures.

So while my mom and Joel were in HWS Jonathan and I were in the room relaxing. My dad had gone to ride the monorail a few times around (he finds it relaxing). Then. it. starts. to. POUR. Literally two seconds after the rain comes pouring down my mom and Joel walk in (did I mention THEY had the camera with them, so I had to wait to take a picture of our cute towel decoration!?). My mom tells Jonathan and me that my dad got stuck on the monorail because of the rain.


But, atleast I get to take a picture of our towel decoration!

It's a heart, held together with a lei and in the middle is one of Joel's old Webkinz dog.

My dad came back about 20 minutes after my mom and Joel.

A Dinner with Tigger!

Thanks! I try to get all different types of ears when I go :]

You really should try watching Wishes from Poly's beach. It's less crowded, you're just looking in one direction, they're not as loud, you can even see Tinkerbell fly down the rope (she's only a little green dot, but you can still see) Plus the fireworks look awesome reflecting on the Lagoon! I would totally recomend it!

Thoughts/comments:
Me: Cool volcano, LOVE the Steak and Chicken!
Dad: Like how they cook it infront of you

Pros:
-Arrived LATE and were seated within two minutes of arriving
-AWESOME Steak and Chicken
-Sat in main room :]
-Our chef was cool
-I love our volcano!
-Chop Sticks are available! Yay!

Cons:
-Kinda hard to find
-In the same bulding as another restaurant (but, luckily, you couldn't tell once you were seated)
-If you are 6 people or less, you most likely will be sitting with another family/couple and they could be freakish/annoying, luckily we lucked out.

Ending Statement:
It was totally fun, and I WOULD recommend it! It had a few small problems, but they weren't big. It was on the hard side to find, but we got there. It was really cute and if you want to eat in one of the countries I would so recommend Japan!

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

Great DHS upate! I love RnR, but unfortunately, as you read in my TR, missed it last time!

Oh, well, there's always next time! And I love hearing other people's descriptions of it. IT IS THE COOLEST RIDE, EVER!

SOOO... we headed off towards MK...

And then towards Crystal Palace, but we stopped for s second to...

Then we arrived at...

We checked in a little early and waited for a loooong time. About 20 minutes, well, that's what it felt like.

So we took pictures:

Finally we were called in. I really liked the way they call you in. Since there is SO many people waiting, it makes it easier, I guess. So, they have CM's come out with a slip of paper and they say "The [enter last name here] family, Pooh is ready for you!" The lady that said it to us was either French or British and had a cool accent :]

So we were seated on the right side of the huge room (if you were facing as if you had just walked in). Our table was good, it was realllly close to the buffet.

A little after we were seated, guess who showed up?! My FAVORITE Winnie the Pooh character, Tigger! Yay!

(Yea, I get the characters to sign my book I used my signature book that I used in '08)

Then after Tigger left, Piglet came! Piglet is my mom's favorite character :]

Here are a few pictures of some of the food options.
Kiddie Plate (with shrimp):

Salad:

Pizza, rice, mashed potatoes:

A variety:

Then I noticed the center piece, they had Pooh Bear, Tigger, and Piglet all made out of flowers! I only took a picture of Tigger :]

Soon, Egyore (sp?) joined us!

Here is Jonathan's dessert:

Then... Pooh joined us!

What a wonderful dinner! Yumm!

After dinner, we rode some rides. Then we decided to go to the shooting range. We had brought lots of quarters with us, so my brothers were ready for some shooting!

Some CM's kept coming out and adding 100 shots to each gun! So my brothers kept getting to shoot for free and free :]

While they were shooting my dad and I decided to play checkers:

And then instead of us waiting for DB's, DB's had to wait for us to finish playing checkers, haha!

Then we headed back to the Poly :]

Up Next:
A day at the Hotel!
