Default The CiavoFamily Live from the Poly

Hi Everyone,
My dh unfortunately needed to bring work with him, the up side? Some live reports The weather is absolutely gorgeous, cool breezes. Smoke has not been a problem at all, not even a sniff. The Poly is packed, crowds are higher everywhere than what we are used to, but still very managable. I love the refurbished rooms, the waterpik shower heads, the H2O products, the convertible couch is comfy ~ I love it We walked almost 25000 steps yesterday, over 9 miles! My Ethan, 4yo, did Test Track for the first time and he was laughing his head off. When we returned to our room last night we found a birthday card for Ben from Mickey. I wish you all could be here.

Well, I'm going to see if I can rally the troops for EMH at AK. See you later.

Karen

I love the Poly in the morning! I felt a little like I was there, so thank you for that, Karen. How nice that Ben had some birthday recognition from Mickey, and sounds like a lot of fun with Ethan on Test Track. Have a great time, looking forward to more reports. Thanks again.

Thanks for reporting! We leave in just 2 days, I can hardly believe it. I am so glad the weather is nice. Unfortunately I think the crowds are only going to get bigger with Memorial Day right around the corner. Enjoy your vacation and make some great memories!
