    Polynesian vs. Wilderness Lodge

    I've stayed at both, most recently the Polynesian in January. I loved the WL, but after staying at the Poly, there was no contest. To sit out on the beach at night and view the fireworks over Cinderella's castle was fantastic. The kids loved everything about the place. We made sure we had a...

    Poly vs Contemporary

    We just got back from the Polynesian with our 3 going on 4 year old. It was wonderful! We didn't have a Magic Kingdom view, but we were able to head out onto the beach at night and watch the fireworks over the castle while she played in the sand. Beautiful. We were in the Rarotonga building...

    Use WDW toiletries or bring my own?

    Just got back from the Polynesian. Here's a pix of the toiletries. No conditioner, sorry, we used it all. I used my own shampoo and conditioner. My husband used the H2o stuff and said it was very drying. But, real cute. Kris

    Disney Giftcard?

    We just got back Tuesday night. I miss it already. Each of my kids had their own disney gift card to spend as they saw fit. The woman at the Disney store said they could only be loaded with more money at the Disney store itself. I couldn't do it over the phone or computer. The kids were...

    Where do we watch the Pats game on Sunday?

    You guys are great! Thanks a lot! My husband would definately vote for the ESPN Club if he were with friends, but I think he wants to low key it with the family. Staying at the lounge at the Poly would give the little one the chance to drag mom off to the pool while dad and older brothers...

    Where do we watch the Pats game on Sunday?

    Thanks, I'll check out Buffalo Wild Wings. We've never stayed at the Polynesian before, so I wasn't sure about the lounge, tv, setup. As for our reservations, not too upset. I was able to get us into Le Cellier for a pregame meal. Thanks again.

    Where do we watch the Pats game on Sunday?

    That's the first place that occurred to me, but we were wondering if it would be a little too busy to take the 4 yr. old in there? Thanks:wave:

    Where do we watch the Pats game on Sunday?

    Hi Everybody, The Patriots are playing at 4:30 on Sunday. When I told my husband we had 6:30 reservations at Ohana's, he gave me a look that said, "You're not really going to make me miss the end of the game, are you?". So, if anyone was looking for 6:30 ressies for 5, they're yours. I...

    How do I trust my 13 yr. old with his card?

    Thanks everyone, The last time we went was in 2000, and I handled all the cards myself. I kept reading about lanyards, not really knowing what they were. I feel a little stupid right now. Thanks for the suggestions, I really appreciate it. Kris

    How do I trust my 13 yr. old with his card?

    Hi Everybody, I'm going to let my 13 yr. old take off with his 20 yr. old brother occasionally and I started to worry a little. He's very forgetful. He loses things all the time. How am I supposed to trust him with his Disney pass? I will probably put the oldest in charge, but I was...

    Requesting 1st floor at Polynesian w/ kids

    Thanks! That's just what I was wondering about. Did your family happen to have a favorite longhouse? This will be our first time at the Poly. We make it down to Florida once every 4-5 years, and I think this will be the last "family" trip with the college age son, so I'm hoping to make it...

    Requesting 1st floor at Polynesian w/ kids

    Hi Everybody, looking for a little advice. We're staying at the Poly in January, and I've booked a Magic Kingdom view room. I have a 4 year old and I was wondering if it was nice to be on the first floor with a patio and just be able to head to the beach area that way, instead of down the hall...

    fastest way to Hoop de Doo from Beach Club?

    Thanks again! I'll be sure to check with the front desk when we arrive. That would sure make it easier if they had a direct bus for the show. We have a 3 year old, a 13 year old, and a 19 year old(who thinks he knows everything)with us for this trip. I'm really surprised the oldest still...

    fastest way to Hoop de Doo from Beach Club?

    Thanks, Taking the ferry from the MK sounds good, but after the 7:15 show, does it work as well in reverse? Taking the ferry to MK, then the bus to Beach Club? According to the calendar, MK closes at 10:00. Would we be heading into a traffic jam? I mean the people waiting for buses back...

    Best room location at Beach Club???

    Thanks a lot. I've seen that website and checked the room locations but wasn't sure about the balconies. I talked with concierge tonight at the Beach club and was told most rooms facing the lake on the 5th floor had full balconies, so I'm all set. Hopefully. I know they don't have to honor...

    Hi Everyone, My family is planning on staying at the Beach Club at the end of August. I asked for concierge level. Now, I'm wondering, what special request should I make in terms of room location? I definately want a view of the lake and a full balcony would be nice. Any ideas? Thanks a...
