Poly CL ?'s
I'm sure these are answered in this thread and I've read many posts and used search, but despite the great information I can't find specific answers.
Our last Poly CL stay was January 2014 and much has changed. The primary reasons we've stayed Poly CL in the past are location to watch fireworks and pool and IPO planning. Grabbing a beverage is awesome, but food although nice, isn't a big draw for us.
After a couple of stays we switched to Garden View for savings as watching fireworks from lounge or beach is awesome. This trip no Garden View was available and we are paying more for LV. (Couldn't bring myself to paying for TPV.). ?- I'm going to request third floor are LV on 3rd floor, if so any specific room recommendations for fireworks, water pageant? Do many have very obstructed views?
The use of IPO to lessen tedious planning has been basically snuffed out, IMO. It seemed more difficult to arrange FP's with cooridinated meal times...easier (but a pain) to do myself. I contacted IPO asked for IPO form. They did not send with reply. Their reply basically said looks like you did everything, we only need CC if there are things you want us to watch for openings. Often we book extra activities. Didn't ask if we have a celebration. I know I can still email them, but I'm wondering if CL is becoming a special location with food and turn down.
In the past I have asked for a purchase be left in room for arrival. Nothing major , ex. a plush character or lanyard. Only purchases that can be made in lobby. (Yes, I've used Disney florist. Never exactly what I want, not in room when we check in as Poly deliveries are at end of day, or they used to be). Should I bother to ask?
I read a lot of CM's aren't especially friendly.
I'm a little less excited about CL, but OF COURSE super excited to return to Disney regardless.
Any room info is appreciated as well as general CL service comments and answers (appreciated if not mean )
