Oh, that was something else that they were out of the first night we arrived at Poly, only about half way in to the evening service. I didn't ever check to see if they made more or not. Once they finally brought out more beer I didn't go for any more of the punch anyway.
LOL... I rather like it in some things.Yeah, I knew about the Hawaii/spam connection/history. Still didn’t mean I wanted to try it!
That just annoys me greatly. No matter how sweetly it's delivered I just don't like having to request each and every glass of wine or bottle of beer. It's such a turn off. I know there is no limit on what is given/poured but it "feels like" there is when they control it so. Like it's monitored or something (even if it's not). This is unique to BC/YC, right?
Hanging out in the RPC lounge waiting for our room to be ready. (We were told it’s a “great room”!)
Tomato soup with croutons, turkey and bread... Yep, this is lunch for me. 
Wishing you a lovely stay! Thanks for the photos, I always love to hear thoughts and see photos.
Reminds me, BWI had put bottled water in fridge, grab and go. It wasn't all day, forget now what time they stocked it, flowing breakfast, I think. Replaced the juices and yogurts maybe. You can ask for it other times
Thanks. Our last BC stay they poured the wine too. Oh it's never been a problem with waiting. No wait. It's just having to ask. It's hard to explain I guess but I'm not comfortable asking everytime I want a drink, beer, whathave you. No, we don't drink a case a night. 2 is usually it. It's just me and my thing. And I don't see why they are different. B
But alas, all-in-all we had a very good stay at Poly CL. The resort just works extremely well for our Disney touring style - the monorail, walkability to TTC, fun pools, fun bars/restaurants. I'm a sucker for the Polynesian vibe and for special MK fireworks. CL there, while certainly not perfect, adds a nice convenience factor to make things just a bit easier.
We did experience some crowded lounge conditions at times (pretty much always have at Poly), but then there would often be times with no one around at all. It was quite lumpy. I also am starting to think that the lounge is coming close to needing a bit of a face-lift at some point. Like the resort-side rooms, it's close to time for an upgrade (in my opinion).
I mentioned CMs in my first post above. We really enjoyed seeing some familiar faces and getting to know new ones too. We've had good and bad Poly trips when it comes to CMs, but this was a good one.
It was also great to meet a few fellow DISers along the way too!
Anyways - so that's the latest from Poly CL. Happy to answer any questions.
Moving onto dessert after lunch. I’m a sucker for gummy bears. The fancy-looking thing on the left is actually red velvet cake with a crunchy topping. The ring that looks like a candy cane is white chocolate. The other dessert is some kind of apple-filled crumb cake. They also had some standard cookies, goldfish, etc.
We had the same experience at AKL a few years ago. On our 3rd CL stay, they had apparently changed the process and required one to ask for beer (and wine at the time). They would not give it to you unless opened. I was able to get it a few times from CM that seemed uneasy when I requested it capped and then had the CK manager tell me I had lied when I said I received “some” unopened. It was a whole thing with them.....BUT, I have not been back to AKL CL since. It kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. Since, we have stayed RPC, SL, and CR CL twice and have not experienced that type of rigid “control”. AKL is my favorite themed resort and I did stay in January in a reg SV rom for a short trip with my son. I don’t think we will be back to CL anytime soon though
And a view of the table with other afternoon offerings. Nice and quiet up here, too! We have just seen a few families stop in.
Have a good time at RPC! Would love to hear more about your stay at RPC. I will b there in 3 weeks!!!!
