AUGUST 2
Well this was our last full day. I still never made it over to Animal Kingdom (first time ever visiting and not going in that park).
Sean and I took Megan and Kyle over to Blizzard Beach that morning. We were one family away from being the first family. It rained so the crowds were lower but it was nice out and we were going to be wet anyway. We got on everything we wanted to and headed back.
The rest of the group went over to MGM that morning and ate at 50’s Primetime Café.
Sean and I took the two boys over to the Contemporary to eat lunch at the Concourse Steakhouse. I hung out at the resort finishing my report and enjoying my last full day there.
I spent quite a bit of time at the resort and I enjoyed every minute of it. It is such a nice resort to hang out at all day and either do nothing or do the some of the many thigns that go on all day.
Years ago when we were out early to the parks and back late we never realized all that goes on around the resort all day long, especially for kids.
We got to spend some time in the lounge with Chef Dick and Kuulei. The kids love the lounge as much as we do. I always thought the concierge was worth it for us when we were just a couple but now with kids I think it is even more worth it. There is nothing like having access to the great staff or the goodies of the lounge all day long. The lounge is even nice to have when you just want to go relax somewhere.
We all walked out to the beach from our room to enjoy the time we had left there. The Polynesian has 3 beaches that are longer when combined than any of the other Deluxe resort beaches. The kids loved running up and down the beach.
We took a few group photos around the resort before heading out to eat.
Some of the group photos we took were in the GCH and we spent some time just relaxing in there also. I always hear people talk about how loud and busy the Great Ceremonial House is and it is not relaxing but they must just hit it at the wrong time. Only a few times was it loud and crowded but it was not a crowded feeling like a mall at Christmas, it was like a fun atmosphere with the guy playing guitar in the lounge and people enjoying themselves.
This was later in the afternoon and it was nice to hang out in the sitting area of the lobby.
