Hello all Poly experts! I have switched my reservations from the Cont. to the Poly. I originally used the 40% code for the Cont. but the more I thought about it I changed to the Poly.
I LOVE the Cont. and have wanted to stay there since I was a little kid. This will be my FIRST stay at the poly.... This is also the first time my 3 children have stayed on site (with the exception of Music site 12 years ago or so) and first time they have been been in 10 years..
this is the first time that PH (4) then will go to Disney. PT (13) and PA (16) will be old enough to trot around alone. This is also the first time KT (DH) will go to Disney. AND HE IS A HUMBUG!!! Poor man, he does not see what the big deal is and thinks Disney is a product of American consumerism (don't bash him, I love him) he just doesn't know... YET.
Sooo. since I changed to the Poly, I have been a little questioning and nervous and I am hoping you can help.
I heard that everything is done through the computers now, so requesting a room is just that because they are automated to choose the rooms now. I can only afford the Garden room, and would love to be one something other than the first floor and WOULD love to be able to get into the rooms that have baloconys (I know only a certain longhouses have them) but ... well.... If I do not get those rooms, are there any bad views?
We also know that they are probably not going to have a bunch of empty rooms when we will be there (dec 17-23)
Also, the walk to everything.. is it a haul? With a tired 4 year old, am I going to regret not having the convienence of the compact resort like the Cont. Is it a long walk anywhere? realistically?
I have also heard that the rooms are leave something to be desired by users here on Disboards. I LOVE the colors... I love the 'darker' aspect... my family finds that comforting and warm... but otherwise.. is there anything that should be of concern?
We really want PH4 to go to the Neverland club while we go out to eat. PT13 and PA16 want to go out as well. I was thinking about Ohana... I dont really want to do the Luau.
I like the pool, but depending on the weather, I am betting on being able to really use it, but we'll see;")
Please convince me that I have made the best choice or I will drive myself mad over the next 10 months!!!!!!!!
