A Nicki and Todd dining review...with the nieces!! LIVE from the Poly! - Page 4 - The DIS Discussion Forums

pooh'smate · 01-20-2009, 01:52 PM

I have heard great things about your reports so I am joining in on this one.

AngVT · 01-20-2009, 02:23 PM

Oh, you'll do fine... take rest often, let them snack, I have to pm you something else... and just remember, they will both want to do different things, because they're different ages... that compromise is a good thing, and the fact that there are 2 of you, and you can split up/meet up after a ride...

Enjoy yourself....get the girls into the food report... I'm sure when they know you're sharing with others, they'll want to get into it!

Can't wait!!!!

Hi.

I'm in!

I've lurked through your other reports, but never actually been part of a live one! Very exciting. I can't wait to see how all your ressies pan out.

TinkerBelle_325 · 01-20-2009, 03:53 PM

Have a great time Nicki!

If you are staying GV at the Poly, request Fiji marina side, its a gorgeous view for Garden because you can actually see the marina & the volcano pool.

jess20k · 01-20-2009, 06:28 PM

I am looking forward to another one of your reports! We will be there on Thursday, I can't wait! Have a great time!

TigerKat · 01-20-2009, 06:30 PM

Hoping you guys arrive safely.

We stayed in the Fiji before but this time I requested Samoa for the kids to walk out to the volcano pool! So far so good

We sure did, thanks for the wishes!

MickeyNicki · 01-21-2009, 05:52 AM

Hey everyone! Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know we arrived safely. Dinner was the fine cusine of McDonalds chicken nuggets! Everyone slept on the way up and miraculously woke up once the first WDW sign was spotted. We followed a few monorails and the little one said they were taking us to our hotel!

We pulled in to the Poly at 10:30 last night and the place was completely empty. The kids where so excited to see the tiki torches and they loved their leis. We had the 6 year old practicing ALOHA all the way up, she kept saying HOLA instead but got it right when we pulled up to valet...then she was saying it to everyone! After a quick call to their mom to let them know we were ok the kids were checking out the lobby and they both said this hotel was awesome! The little one could have stayed in the lobby watching cartoons all night!

The room is incredible, the Samoa building ground floor walk out to the volcano pool, hope it warms up for us to use it! It was 36 last night and a very cold 32 this morning....should warm up to 55 today eek!

I am the lone soldier up this morning, we have 8:05 ressies at CP and I am heck bent on making them! I still have to go to the lobby concierge this morning and get the kids tickets, they open at 7am.

So wish me luck everyone! We are coming back to the room to freshen up for dinner around 4, maybe take a nap too! While everyone is relaxing I will post breakfast, lunch and maybe snacks! Dinner tonight is 1900 PF, the little one is psyched to eat with Cindallella (cinderella!)

dizneeat · 01-21-2009, 06:06 AM

Thanks for the update! I just got in from work (6 hours ahead - time difference, LOL) and it is nice to know you made it to the Poly safely, have a nice room and are soon off to the MK!!!!! I envy you! Have fun and enjoy your breakfast and time at the MK!

Rootskate · 01-21-2009, 06:27 AM

How cool! Glad you made it there safe! Make sure you take some pictures of the room?? I want to see it!!

Have fun today!!

jeminni · 01-21-2009, 06:38 AM

Sounds like a great start so far. Looking forward to reading more tonight.

TarzansKat · 01-21-2009, 06:40 AM

So glad the girls love the hotel! That's too cute about teaching the younger one to say Aloha! I bet she was so proud when she got it right. I hope it warms up for you too, I would love to see some pictures of that volcano pool!

Good luck with your early ressie.

ChelleinNC · 01-21-2009, 07:17 AM

Glad you made it safe & sound

but I can't believe you were up & posting at O'dark thirty

Go have fun today!

Charleston Princess · 01-21-2009, 07:51 AM

What bliss to have arrived at the Poly! At this point you are probably enjoying your breakfast at Crystal Palace -- my mouth is watering just thinking about all the photos you are taking...
