Got mine!
Pardon the piles of Kleenex and misery all over the place, guys. In addition to being ill today is my one year anniversary of my last wdw trip...and my first/ last stay at the Polynesian.
In a sense, you and I are fortunate to have experienced the original Polynesian GCH lobby (as well as unobstructed views of the lagoon, prior to the construction of the bungalows). I stayed at the GF one year prior to the construction of their DVC building, and I was happy to experience GF in its original state. Years ago, I also stayed at the Contemporary before BLT was added. All these resorts were way over my budget, but I managed 3 nights in each with the help of slight discounts, and saving up extra $ at those times. I'm really glad I experienced all 3.
I think part of what's really bothering me in relation to these 3 resorts, is the clutter factor when they add new construction to existing properties. They take 3 deluxe properties with spacious grounds (part of the "wow" factor) and dump another building (or bungalows for the Poly). It messes up the views, and the new buildings just aren't the same and don't fit in.
