The Polynesian







Staying on-site at Disney was a first for all of us so we decided to go all out and stay right on the monorail at the Polynesian. It was truly cliche and just MAGICAL! They greeted us with flower leis when we checked in then our rooms were connecting, right on the water by the marina with our little first floor patios so we could come and go to each others room with ease. There was a volcano pool with a waterside (umm that sucker was fast, I got a little water up my nose). Colton did the slide one day for a straight 8 hours which he had to wear a life vest because the slide was so stinkin fast! Everyday they had contests and activities by the pool for the kids, they played in the sand, there was a pool bar (dreamy) and at night the water parade comes by and you can see the fireworks at Magic Kingdom complete with the same music pipped into the speakers on our beach...wow. We had the option of monorail, foot, boat or bus depending on where we were headed, super convenient with all of our strollers. On Saturday we kicked the vacation off with the Aloha dinner at the Poly and Alicia was picked to come up on stage and hula dance...I may have influenced their selection just a little (so what if I pointed right at her when the male dancer came along looking for their victim). On Sunday we stayed at the resort all day and rented a private cabana with a TV for the football games, drinks, our own "pool boy" who was so great and got us anything/everything we needed (need to contact Disney to tell them this!). We had such a great time at the Poly, we all agreed it was by far the favorite resort we saw while at Disney and were really happy with our decision. I think we will be back if that wish I made with the lucky penny I threw in the fountain on our last day actually does it job!
