Back from a blissful stay at the Poly! Pic heavy
We just got home from a beautiful (but far too short) trip for mine and my husband's 11th anniversary and Jackson's 3rd birthday. The trip exceeded all of our expectations! We booked a garden view club level room and were pleasantly suprised with an upgrade to lagoon view (room 1502)! Here are some pics of our view and the room:
These shots of the grounds were taken at about 6:45am.
I would not hesitate to recommend the club level! The staff was fantastic! We didn't do the dining plan and saved so much money. We opted to have breakfast in the lounge, ate lunch out then did light apps and desserts in the evenings. We actually spent less than half of our food and drink budget. It was about $100 more a night than a regular room with our discount code and worth every dime.
Here are some of our fireworks shots from our room.
I could go on posting forever! If you have some pics that you want to see at the Poly, chances are I have it, just let me know!
Here is a pic of my happy boys!
The Lounge
Does the club level include breakfast and the evening snacks?

Sure does! Pastries, oatmeal, coffee, fruit, cereal and drinks in the am. Light snacks for lunch, fruits, cheese, crackers and the like. For dinner, a couple of hot apps, cheese, crackers, a cold salad or soup, something for the kids, and beer and wine. Then dessert is 3 special mini desserts, cookies, fruit, cordials, beer and wine. It was great!
very beautiful! the kids are super cute too :) i am confused- you didn't get free dining or buy a dining plan but you saved money? because breakfast and apps and dessert were included? we are thinking about going again next year andI am trying to feel out all of our options. we did value resort with free dining and feel like we saved a ton because we spent about $150/day in food (but it was on the plan) and didn't even use all of our snacks. we didn' tbuy any extra but brought some fruit and granola bars to eat in the morning or for the kids to eat in the room.
We didn't get the dining plan at all. We stayed Club Level which allowed up access to the lounge where they served the meals. We did get a 35% passholder discount on our room.

My husband hates the crowds when you are leaving the parks, so I knew he would love watching the fireworks from the beach. We didn't expect the upgrade though! It was so wonderful to watch from the porch in our pjs! We are spoiled now!
