Who will be at the Poly in August 2012?

[Lemondrops]

407 wdw play to reserve it. I believe it was $110 all together for the half day? Something around there. I reserved ours at 180 days out. I'm not sure how quickly they fill up.

I reserved ours on Monday and it didn't seem to be a problem.

CONGRATULATIONS! You have made a VERY great choice! I think you will really enjoy the Poly. You might be surprised at how HUGE WDW is compared to DL, and some of the rides are really different...check them out! I added your dates to post #2. Welcome to the Poly in August club!



Now this makes me a little jealous we're not staying CL. We did years ago, but they didn't offer the punch then. I want a taste of that stuff!



How sweet! What a wonderful husband, to pull out a fantastic surprise like that! MainStreetFireman, my hubby, has plenty of surprises up his sleeve over the years. They make me feel so special! CONGRATULATIONS on 19 years and welcome to the Poly in August club. You're in post #2!

Thanks for adding me!

I've only been to DL for a few day trips, so I don't have too much to add, but I can say don't miss a ride just because you've done it at WDW. Each one seems to have a bit of a different spin on it, so it's fun to ride so classics and favorites and both parks and compare. Also, I hear amazing things about World of Color if you can catch it, and Fantasmic! is supposed to be much better at DL.

Have a great trip! It's getting close!

It's scary how close it is!

I can't wait to ride some of the rides that are DL exclusives. I've heard similar things about F! at DL being much better and I'm excited to get to view it on the RoA compared to the amphitheater at MGM. I'm also pumped to see Magical, which some people have said is much better than Wishes...it'll be hard to beat in my book though simply because of nostalgia if nothing else.

Unfortunately, I am only going to be hitting up DL and not CA so I won't be able to catch WoC.

Hi! Disneyland is great! A whole lot smaller and less spread out than WDW. California Adventure and Downtown Disney are right out of the gate. Are you staying on property or in Anaheim? Either way you will be close to all of the action. The weather will be great in May. It won't be stifling hot.

All I can say is that if you've been to WDW, DL should be a breeze. From what I understand it's setup very similar to Magic Kingdom and California Adventure is kind of all of the other parks in one. There aren't as many rides per say but you'll recognize them all.

Have a great time!

I will actually be living in between LA and San Diego for the summer, so we're gonna be driving up to Anaheim early in the morning. We lose out on not being able to go back to a hotel to rest, but with one day only to spend at DL I don't mind being there from open to close! I'm not sure how the rest of my party is going to feel about that plan, but that's why I'm driving!

Ok..to all the ladies out there this is for you,

Would you rather have a "cabana day" (half or full day) OR would you rather have a "spa day" at the GF ?

To me, it looks as tho the benefits of having a cabana is basically "securing" your spot by the pool for a half or full day. Im not too worried about securing a table by the pool because we would get there early enough.

I know the cabana seems cool and all but Im kinda leaning towards putting that cash towards a spa day for DW instead of a cabana day...NOW if drinks-- (aka--booze)-- were included in the cabana price then we may have something cooking there.

DW has never done a spa day at Disney.

What would you do ???

Thanks

I would personally do the spa. I've never had a spa day and I think that would be a fantastic gift!

I would prefer a cabana. Disney to me is about being with my family. I wouldn't enjoy being away from them at a spa. A cabana is a very nice treat. I really enjoy having our own little area complete with a stocked fridge, fan, fruit, and attendant. I'm surprising my family with a 2nd cabana day.

You, know, I would have said spa day (I don't really get the whole fuss about the cabana)...but Dani makes a great argument below for the cabana. I really wouldn't want to separate from my family to go to a spa while in Disney. Either one you choose, what a wonderful idea, you sound like a very considerate and generous husband!

Well, I changed my mind again! (This is the 4th and final change, I hope) We will now be staying at the BWI. Thanks for putting me on the list and then taking me off.

So who all is staying CL? I want to know who my lounge mates will be! Also, is anyone free for a drink on the 10th around 6 PM?

 

[Stitch'sCousin]

We're going to be doing a CL stay from August 19-28.

No CL for us this trip. We are doing the DxDP, so we figured we'd already be eating tons, and would rarely have time to spend in the lounge during times when the good stuff is out.

I think we will be free on the 10th, our last night. We have 9:30 dinner scheduled at CG! Are we still on for the 5th as well?

DDP and CL was a LOT of food so I think DxDDP would put me in a COMA! We are on for The 5th. I had CG that night but swapped it for 'Ohana so we will be there with bells on!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I have been MIA for a while. My dear sister passed away in March and I have been pretty "offline" since. I am venturing back into the land of the living and my first stop is here, of course!

My DS and I will be there on 8/5. Have we decided on a time? He is turning 21 on 6/22 but is spending his summer in California on an internship. So this will be our first time having a drink together and the first day I will see him in quite a while. Lots to celebrate! No better place than the happiest place on earth!
