[EsmeraldaX]

Nothing for me yet. I wish I knew the magic secret to getting a pin sent to me.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Are you signed up on www.disneyworld.com ?

Did you get the Fall special? If so, at the POP it is only $6 less with the email pin code. $49 with and $55 without - with the Fall special...if you are going during those dates!

Also, sometimes out of the blue you'll get one in the mail too..who knows - sometimes it is yrs before I see one and this yr I got 2!! Of course, I cannot use both because they cover almost the same time period. Wish there was a way to share!

No e-mail for me. I just talked to my mother before, and she was like "oh yeah, I got two post cards recently for Disney World" One addressed to her and one to my father. AARRGGHH. I can't even get one.

Well I got sucked into the LVC back in Oct 2002. I was 6 months pregnant with baby #3 and I wanted to take my oldest DD (3 1/2 at the time) while she stilled believed in all the magic. Who knew when I'd return with 3 kids(I never guessed it would be so soon so often!). I left my DS at home with DH and went with a girl friend. I was going to stay at the Ft. Wilderness cabins but then got a GREAT room only rate on the Poly room. 45%+ off. Concierge was great for a pregnant woman and toddler. Then I somehow convinced DH to take the family to Disney before DS turned 3. Concierge was the only way to go! I really can't believe we're going again in Oct. We were already planning a Fall 2005 trip before baby turned 3 and I told DH lets buy an AP and go this fall and next! The concierge part is easy for me to "rationalize". With 3 adults and 3 kids (1 under 3) we will save the $100 in convenience alone. No running to Captian Cooks everytime the kids need a snack or milk. The Lagoon View is much harder to "rationalize"! It was so great to watch the fireworks and EWP from our room with the kids in their jammies. You will absolutely LOVE the Poly! Have you ever been?

I just got an email for POFQ till the end of this year. However, I just returned yesterday 9/18. Maybe I'll get another for next year.

re:lovesdumbo
We've stayed at the Poly a few timnes, but the last time was right after they opend the newest longhouses which I think was late '80's? I mean they opend in '85 and we stayed there about a month after they opened and then again on later trips. Since then we've stay at Epcot resorts, sometimes a moderate and the AKL.

We've stayed in Aotearoa, Tokelau, and Rapa Nui, so we've only had garden views and have hesitated to spend more for a Lagoon view sicne the rooms in Takelau and Rapa Nui are some of the largest in the resort as well as Tahiti. Have you requested a longhouse?

I do so love the Poly and always feel far more secluded from the rest of the "world", real or fantasy...it's a world of it's own! Also, I feel my days away have felt longer than when staying at any other resort. Have you found you feel the same?

We'll be there the 27th - 2nd, just 5 nights, but I plan to spend a good deal of that time on the balcony saoking up the spirit of the resort. No little ones this trip - they are all grown up!

I got an e-mail for POR at $79 for most dates 10/31 to 12/25. POR is not my cup of tea, so here's the phone number and code if anyone wants to try it:

PIN deleted--these are non-transferrable. Please do not post non-public offerings on the boards as it is against board rules. Thank you.

Christine-enjoy your trip "home" to the Poly. I had tried lots of other resorts before the Poly. I had only ridden through on the monorail and didn't think I'ld like it. But on that pregnant trip I wanted a resort with a convenient location and I fell in love with the place. It really is a world away from it all and yet you can see the MK and feel like you're in the middle of it all. We were there for the full moon in Jan and watched it rise over the CR-how magical! I cannot wait to see the full moon again in Oct! We'll be in the Hawaii building for concierge. A great location!

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Count me in as another Bostonian who loves Disney!

Still waiting for my postcard or email, though...

cmbar - thanks for the info on renting points, something to look into...

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Lovesdumbo ~

How wonderful for you! No doubt you've already been enjoying the benefits of concierge services As we know, any stay at the Poly can be nothing less than lovely and relaxing, but yours will be next to heavenly

For those who have not yet received an email code, don't give up hope yet - I just received one for 10/31 thru 12/25 with blackout dates of: 11/10-13 and 11/23-11/27.

The werid thing about this email is that it is to my email address in my friend's last name. We traveled together last Feb and somehow they reversed the info. I wonder if I called if they would still honor the code. Only matters for future possiblity because I am using a code with the identical discount to go next week.

Anyway, an email code might still be coming your way!!

I'm hoping for everyone!

 

[sorchamac]

Can you post the exact email address that the pin offer came from? That way I can post it in my "accept" list in my spam filter.

Thanks-

Sorcha

[disneyw/kids]

I got the email today and I am in Georgia. Mine said $49 for value resorts, no mention of mod or deluxe. I called to see if I could use it for a deluxe resort and CM said yes but when she checked for the GF it was $10 more a night than the AP rate I got so it was not a deal. Oh well worth a shot. I am just glad to see that I finally got an email, however, when I really need it i am sure it will not come.

 

[amcghfan01]

I received an e-mail, but not for the hotel I have reservations for. Its for the Value Resorts $49 a night.. But there is several black out dates.

 

[disneyw/kids]

I got the email for value resorts also but when I called the CM said it could be applied for mod and deluxes so you might want to call.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Oh, yes, disneyw/kids, good advice!!

Always call because it is often available at other resorts!!

Best to all!

This time next Monday we'll be at the Poly

 

[amcghfan01]

I called, but not luck.. Not for the Yacht Club..
