Hi everybody,
I been back for a week now but finally decided to write a "small" trip report. We loved our stay at the Poly, like always. We did notice some changes the major one being wristbanding everybody at the pool each day and WHAT a difference it made especially over the 4th of July weekend. We saw anywhere from 2-6 people a day get asked to leave because they weren't staying there. It was really nice to see that improvement.
Of course on July 3rd and July 4th it was very crowded with EVERYBODY coming to the Poly for the firework show. It is a really crazy sight and you can't imagine it unless you see it. (I have pictures of it too). On the 4th of July I noticed they were setting up rows of chairs on the beach and at first I was starting to get mad thinking they were actually promoting people to come and sit on beach and watch it but it turned out that those chairs were reserved for anybody staying in the Hawaii building (which was very nice).
We stayed club level (GV)and once again enjoyed the lounge and what it had to offer. We never did see the evening appetizers this time around because we were always at the parks then.
Breakfast included bagels, mini muffins, oatmeal (which was great), fruit, cinnamon buns, crossiants and various cereal and juice/milk. Afternoon snacks included oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies, gummy bears, goldfish, and some kind of mix and some days popcorn. Evening were cocktails, wine and cookies and mini desserts.
We ate at both Kona and Ohana. Ohana was once again the BEST place to eat in Disney. Excellent food and service was good except that they had no pineapples for the lapu lapus.
Kona was just good.
The bus service was actually really good this time around (and we hate taking the bus). We usually only had to wait maybe 5 minutes except for once we waited probably 15 minutes or so. And there was a cast member there monitoring the buses also (which I never seen before). Monorail was good, no real big issues.
One little issue was mousekeeping. Some days they didn't come until after 3 p.m. Two mornings they knocked at the door around 8:30 but we weren't really and they didn't come back until 4 and then we were in the room again getting ready for dinner. They always did a good job though.
Any other questions?
We're getting -- let me rephrase that -- *I'm* getting way excited too.
Thx for the prop's! I will definitely give any information I have.
...we are so excited!
How exciting, have a great magical trip, I will be there in one week!
