That pretty much sells me on a garden view at the Poly! What an amazing view from your balcony!

I love it - funny they are the 'cheap' rooms.
Last year, when we went to the beach area to watch Wishes, I thought about how nice a Lagoon view would be. However, my husband said he wants a garden view again - not because it's less expensive but because he loved the view!

It's nice to look out on a secluded area instead of a high-traffic one. Were a lot of people wandering through your garden view?

True, no parking lot view for me, and the lagoon, you're right on that one too. garden view wins, hands down!

Great to hear, as that's what we've got in October. Any suggestions for which building to request??

We wee in Tahiti (http://www.familydisneyvacations.com/2008/05/polymesian-resort-map.html) and my husband said he'd like to be in that same building again. It was close to the water - though you couldn't see the water from the longhouse, it was a very short walk to a more secluded part of the beach, which is where we watched Wishes from. The TTC was close, so instead of walking to the Ceremonial House and then getting the monorail from there, you could just go to the TTC and get the monorail.

We were close to the smaller pool - which was super nice. There were hardly any people swimming in it, ever, so even though it had no slide or cool beach by it, it was perfect for relaxing quiet swims!

That's an interesting point about the TTC. If the walk were equidistant, the Express Monorail would get you there much faster, no?

That sounds like heaven. Far away from the crazy of the Ceremonial House, next to an empty pool, close to monorails for MK and Epcot...rock on!

Thanks so much for the map, too. I've always been a little confused about the Poly's layout.

Thanks for the advice. I'll let DW know. I'm pretty sure we commisserating about room requests this weekend. She's been talking to some folks at work about their ideas.

Grand Floridian.

Bali is correct. It is at the Grand Floridian! It's difficult to guess it simply by looking at it, because the "theme" doesn't quite have the feel of GF.

Zz.

When was that pic taken? I know they re-did the GF pool and I was wondering what it looked like before.

I really like the 2 people in the far end of the shot. I didn't even notice them at first and when I did I felt they added to the shot.

How do you set up desktop themes? I really like what you've done with yours--especially the gondolas at Italy in Epcot. Very nice.
