    Default Just got back from the Poly

    I just wanted to report that the Poly is still the best and most beautiful resort in Disney and maybe the world.We stayed in Tokeleau facing the "other pool"(we used to call it the quiet pool but it was far from that).We can't wait to go back to the Poly someday hopefully soon.Anyone with any doubts about the Poly can lay them to rest!

    I second this! I stayed at the Poly in jan '09 for the first time and LOVED it! I was always taken away by just the lobby on previous trips, and always wanted to stay there. And after i finally did, it was everything i hoped for and more... def my favorite resort i have stayed at. And thats not just limited to WDW!

    Excuse me? Are you lookin' at me? Did you rub my lamp? Did you wake me up? Did you bring me here? And all of a sudden you're walking out on me? I don't think so, not right now. You're getting your wishes, so sit down!

    I have to agree! My DH and I stayed there on our honeymoon in '08. Our room was absolutely breath taken! As we walked into our room for the first time our mouth dropped. There infront of us was the castle. I was thinking "is this what we get to wake up and fall asleep looking at?" We had breakfast on our balcony looking at the castle and watching the sun rise. I am looking forward to staying there again in the near future.

    I have to agree, also. The Poly is definitely my favorite resort and holds great memories for me because it is the first on-property resort I ever stayed at. Now that we're DVC members, we probably won't stay there much, but I am keeping my fingers crossed that they one day make it part of DVC! I would buy points there in a second!!

    You should actually experience it for yourself. It is a different atmosphere when you walk through the resort then just ride past it on the monarail.

    I am so excited!!!!! This June will be our first stay at the Poly. My husband has always wanted to stay there since he was a little kid and we have always put it off--staying at a moderate to save money. Well, this year is our 20th anniversary and we decided to spend the extra money and stay there. I am glad you had a wonderful time!!...thanks for the smile today!!

    Cool

    We are looking forward to returning "home" to the Polynesian in December. I agree with the OP, it is the best resort on property. IMHO

    We couldn't agree more! We just stayed 7 nights at the Poly in mid-April. We loved it. The property, the pool, restaurants, activities, conveniences, monorail, beach...you just can't beat it all. We will be going back again soon!

    We LOVE the Poly! DH and I were just there in November and we're headed back in two weeks. Can not wait! One of my highlights was being able to lay on the beach and look at the castle. It doesn't get much better than that!!

    That was me too until we stayed there in October. Absolutely the best one we have stayed at yet. My DH is extremely picky and he still raves about it.

    I wish I could tell you I enjoyed the Poly but we just got back and my grandmother is now sick because of mold that was in the bathroom in the handicap room in the Rapu Nui building. We called 2 times to get it cleaned up and it wasn't until the day before we left they finally came in with scrub brushes and some cleanser to make an attempt at cleaning it up not very well I will add. She is now on antibiotics and musinex to try to get her lungs clear. Other than that problem we did enjoy the resort but won't be staying there again because of the lack of cleanliness in the room...
