Had a brief visit to the Poly last week. While I have come to enjoy a few other resorts around WDW and it's certainly not all candy canes and lollipops, ultimately there is no resort that gives me the feels more than Poly. The smell as mentioned above, the views, the vibe - I am an unapologetic Poly lover.
Anyway, a few pics from around the resort.
Someone remember I posted this next year when people start asking about Halloween activities.

Always nice to catch the EWP, which was running at 8:50pm when I was there.

These Adirondack chairs have been a great addition to the beach. Now bring the movie back to the beach instead of the lawn... please Disney?!?

Another new / recent addition is hammocks - one seen below. There are 2 or 3 others the dot the beach. They used to have hammocks out awhile ago, nice to see them back.

Just before sunrise, with the boat running before 7AM Extra Extra Magic Hours (which have since completed their run, which I will totally miss). For those who want to know the 'best' spot to watch fireworks from Poly, I'd say it's generally in this area between the bungalow on the right and that island to the left. Hug closest to the path for the best audio as it can get a little faint too far out on the beach.
