kfeusse Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 if we arrive in Orlando at the airport at 5:30, what time is feasible to book supper at our resort (polynesian)....in other words, how quickly will we travel from the airport to the resort? is 7:00 too early?

momtotkbb Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I would think 7 is too early. We would probably do 7:30 at the earliest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 You are staying at the Poly? I'd go with 7:30 or 8. That way you'll have time to relax and unpack a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfeusse Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 oh...the ONLY resturant at the Poly had a reservation at 7:05....and we can't eat at a park or we will lose one of our days passes. Do you think it will really take more than 1 1/2 hours to get from the airport to the Poly? My in laws can go at 7 and at least claim our reservation (right as long as they have the number or whatever)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nono Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Did you look at the GF and Contemporary too? They are close by... P.S. Yes, I think 7 is a dream. It might happen, but it's unlikely. You need to get to the shuttle, to the check-in, to your room, to dinner....any glitch, and problems! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Is this 'Ohana or Kona? I doubt they'd seat your parents without everyone else at 'Ohana. That might work at Kona. Btw we prefer Kona :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DianeW88 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 That's too early. Go to Downtown Disney and eat at Wolfgang Puck's instead. It's a CS, but it's sooo good! They serve you on real plates, and the food is not your typical CS. Get the creme brûlée for dessert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kroe1 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 If you arrive at the Poly before 9, go straight to Ohana's before you check in. Beg starvation and they will let you in as long as your party isn't huge. One doesn't always need a ressie to get in Ohana's. You could do the same thing at Kona Cafe if you want lighter fare, but you're more likley to get in at Ohana's. Three hours from flight down to Disney check in is the safe rule of thumb. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iquilt Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Wow, there is a bonus to staying off site then. We will travel next weekend down and it will take us, at most, 1 hour to claim our bags and take our shuttle to our place and be at dinner by 7 no problem. Disney Transport must be slow. I would have thought 7 pm to be no problem but I guess it is. Hope you have a great time!! I agree, head to Downtown Disney on your arrival night. Tons of great options for dinner and fun and it's all right there! Edited August 11, 2012 by iquilt forgot something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Another easy option would be the counter service restaurant downstairs at the Polynesian.

Jennifer in MI Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 if we wnet ot downtown Disney can we use our food plan tickets? BTW, do they amil those to you or do yo have tpick those up somewhere. Yes. At many of the restaurants. Wolfgang Puck has two restaurants - one is a counter service and one is sit down. We always eat at WP CS at least once. It's that good! It's worth one CS credit. And, you don't get tickets. All your Key To The World Cards will be your tickets to the parks, your key to the room, and they will have all your meal credits on them. As you check out of a particular restaurant, they will just take the credits off. You'll get a receipt that says how many credits they took off as well as how many you have left. It really is an efficient system!!! You'll get those cards when you check into the hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's obvious you won't make it, simply cancel and see how you feel. If you don't mind a bus ride to DD, check out Wolfgang Puck.

When we've flown in, it usually takes no less than 2 hours to get there, as there are usually long lines for the Magic Express, PLUS check in which can add another 30-45 minutes. You won't have your meal plan until after check in as it's connected to your room key/park pass. I'd skip the reservation that night and probably eat at the airport if you're going to have hungry crabby kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I have always wanted to go on a real hot air trip and parasailing but dh said NO that I could not, he thinks it is too risky. I wanted to go parasailing on our honeymoon and he said no. Anyway, it was just me, dd and sil that night at Downtown Disney and I just decided to go. Dh was not happy but good gosh, the thing is attached to the dock by a steel cable, the worse that could have happened was I would have fallen out, just joking. I mean it was on Disney property, I don't think it was that risky and I really enjoyed it Maybe when I am really old and about to die anyway and dh is tired of me, then he will let me go on a real hot air balloon ride lol. p.s.

Luckymama Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 We bought into DVC in 2007 and so far have stayed at AKL-Jambo House (the original building with hotel rooms and villas), AKL-Kidani Village (all villas), Boardwalk (just one night), Saratoga Springs, Bay Lake Towers (with MK view! Only 3 nights though), and this year Disneyland Hotel (used points for a regular hotel room). I could live at Kidani Village :D I love sitting on the balcony with my feet up, book in hand, coffee/iced tea/adult beverage nearby, watching the animals wander by, enjoying the quiet :) Bay Lake Towers was nice for the location but the kids didn't like the decor. I didn't mind it. I also liked how the living room widened toward the window wall----it's like a pie wedge because the building curves. We watched the fireworks from the balcony all three nights we were there. The master bathroom wasn't as nice as the Kidani one. We only stay in 1bedroom villas because we have a modest number of points. Our travel times are tied to the academic calendar, which means 2 bedroom villas are very point-spendy. The girls share the pullout couch and ds gets the pullout chair (at AKL and Bay Lake the 1bedrooms sleep 5----as a DVC member you can have 5 in the other 1 bedrooms but there isn't any bedding).

I think we're going to try a villa pretty soon. I would love it!! We're a family of five, so we're going to be in the higher end of the points range, too. Unless we book AKL or BLT, we're always going to have to get a two bedroom villa, so I'm thinking we're going to need 300 points or so on a contract. I'm thinking that with needing that many points, we'll probably buy into Saratoga Springs as our home resort. Their points are much cheaper than BLT on the resale market.

If you go via resale, there's a limitation on the program these days, but to most folks it doesn't matter. The best use of DVC points is to use them for the villas. You get that ability with buying resale. What you don't get is the "plusses" to the program, which generally, dollar for point, don't work out as a great deal anyway. Do your breakeven analysis carefully. Personally, a loaded resale at an older resort may be way more cost effective than a new one at BLT or the Grand Floridian.

Do your breakeven analysis carefully. Personally, a loaded resale at an older resort may be way more cost effective than a new one at BLT or the Grand Floridian. That's what I was thinking. We're not interested in using points for a cruise or an Adventures by Disney trip...the amount of points they're asking for those is ridiculous. It would be cheaper to pay out of pocket. So, all we're really interested in would be the villas at WDW or Disneyland. We're also not opposed to using them at Disney's Vero Beach, Hilton Head or Aulani resorts either. :D Checking the points charts, those seem very reasonably "priced". Of course, Aulani's points are expensive, but that's to be expected. On the resale market, OKW is going for an average of $55 per point and Saratoga for about $63. BLT is around $91 per point. So all things being equal, we'd get much more bang for our buck at OKW as a home resort. And points are just points with DVC, right? Except for the ability to book at your home resort earlier than at others, they're all the same? Or have I missed something? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
