We like Tokelau, request, and find it extremely convenient to walk to the TTC to get on the Epcot Monorail.
But only if staying DVC.

Does Instacart deliver to the resorts? We’re mulling over the various grocery options and was curious how it compares to something like Prime Now. Do they drop the items off at Bell Services?
They do! That’s our go to delivery service and we’ve used them about 5 times in the last year. I like them because they can shop at Whole Foods. They also now can deliver alcohol from ABC Liquors.Does Instacart deliver to the resorts? We’re mulling over the various grocery options and was curious how it compares to something like Prime Now.

I did not see any mugs in Boutiki this week and I even asked the CM who said they usually do have a resort mug but do not currently. SorryAloha everyone!!
I've seen online that the Polynesian has some new resort logo merchandise. Have any of you seen this ceramic coffee mug at the resort lately? Have any of you purchased one of these? Do you still have the sticker on the bottom with the SKU #? Mahalo, in advance!

Yes I used instacart this week. I did not have them drop off with bell services but I believe they will. I ordered alcohol so instacart sent a message that I would need to show ID and the driver did ask to view it and have me sign. The driver already had my groceries loaded on a luggage cart and it was super simple. I was planning to use amazon prime now and I think it would’ve been cheaper but they didn’t have some of the items we wanted.
Awesome! Thank youWe stayed in Rarotonga a couple of weeks ago with a standard view, monorail side with a lush garden/rain garden view, RM 1823. It honestly was perfect. No castle direct view, but you are just a few steps from the Great Ceremonial House and the pool, laundry is in the next building, right by the Oasis pool, bus stop is right out front, and on the closer side of the TTC. Our room was SUPER quiet with the patio door shut, and when open you can hear the tranquil music from the entrance. The kids liked the castle and fireworks from the beach/Lava pool anyway.
I just booked a "1 bedroom suite - club level" at the Polynesian through the Disney website, which says the room has 2 queen beds and a daybed. I am trying to figure out what they mean by "daybed" in their description. On Tikiman's website, they show a regular couch and a chair that pulls out into a bed http://www.tikimanpages.com/poly/images/stories/tonga/P1__2Q_1Daybed.jpg, but every other media I have seen, it seems likes the "daybed" is just a pull-out couch and a normal chair. Does anyone have any experience in a 1 bedroom suite at the Poly? Thanks to all for any info, and sorry if this has been asked before!!
Argh...I don’t have it but if you need to know what time I got a maple popcorn refill in Canada I do have that. I am so sorry. I looked in my wallet and my bag I carried.
Hi, sorry if already discussed, but what is my best option for getting from poly to Epcot for an 8am ADR? Will the monorails be running from TTC at that time and if so how early do I have to get everyone out? Thanks so much in advance!

Thank you so much, very helpful!Here’s a link to the current week’s Times Guide (and a handy page to bookmark): http://www.orlandoparksnews.com/p/weekly-walt-disney-world-times-guides.html
As you can see for this particular week, the Epcot line opens at 7:30am. For an Epcot PPO ADR, that generally means I’d want to be at the TTC/Epcot line platform ready for that first train of the day.
You’ll need to go through security both at the TTC and again at Epcot, so keep that in mind when mapping out timing. Although ‘usually’ both are very quick at that hour.
Personally, we have often opted for Uber/Lyft/Taxi/Minnie Van from Poly for an Epcot PPO ADR. It provides just a bit more control over timing and arguably one less thing to worry about.
Hope that helps!

Thank you so much! I always get tripped up with the transportation timing!You’ll have to check the current times guide when you’re there, but I believe it starts running at 7:30 most of the time.
We’re going to be there on an early EMH day, and that’s cutting it too close for me. We haven’t decided yet whether to drive or to spring for a Minnie Van. We might do the Minnie Van just because it looks fun, and then we could take the monorail back.
Both would be fun rides for our almost 3 year old.
That's ok! Thanks for trying!!!
We are checking in this Saturday!!! Sunday night we plan on visiting the MK all day and will return to the Polynesian for swimming, and room service, we have to try The Feast We also will be watching the Hollowishes fireworks from the beach.

What time should we go out there to get a decent spot? Any particular area better than others to watch?
