Plus so much history and much more dynamic than the Contemporary.

I haven't actually stayed there since sometime in the 90s, but we always end up over there for a meal and I'm excited that we'll staying there next year.
Dinner at both Ohana and Kona Cafe is great. Kona has a good breakfast as well (tonga toast and some kona coffee-yum!).

Trader Sam's Grog Grotto is a relatively new place that is a fun spot to spend some time on a warm day. Cool special effects and good drinks.
Walking around the grounds in the evening is lovely with the lighted tiki torches. You can watch the MK Fireworks from the beach with piped in music from hidden speakers!

What should we do/see? What hidden gems should not be missed?? DH is in Orlando for work, so we will have limited park-time, and I will be on my own several days. Thanks for your help!! :mickey::mickey::mickey:

Thanks for your help!! :mickey::mickey::mickey:We also have eaten at O'hana numerous times. But this July will actually be staying for the very first time!!!!! It will be a surprise to our kids, they think we booked PORS. Which we did. We are also trying a split-stay for the very first time. Three nights PORS and five nights Poly.
I'll agree with those who said EVERYTHING!
On our most recent trip we enjoyed the offerings at the Oasis Pool. They had the best chicken wings and fruit trays! We had those almost everyday during our afternoon pool time. Getting a Dole Whip float at the resort was also a big hit for us. And according to my teen boys the best park about staying at the Poly was being able to order Ohana's from room service on our last night.
Besides the food offerings, lol, we love the location and the laid back tropical atmosphere.
