1. While the Coke products are available 24/7, the water and juices are put away at 10, which was a big disappointment as I didn't want a Coke at midnight.

2. I have fond memories of playing in the pool here when I was younger and the slide down the volcano doesn't disappoint ;-) But the facility is showing its age.

8. I would highly recommend renting the Sea Racers (Water Mice) though I was disappointed we couldn't take a picture of each other in front of the Magic Kingdom (they forbid any photography on the smaller boats).

9. So, whereas we did enjoy our overall Disney trip immensely, the Polynesian hotel was a little disappointing and frankly saddened us a little - it's almost as though Disney has decided to let the Polynesian slide into a genteel dilapidation, kinda like a Poconos motel, where you must superimpose your memories of the place over the reality.

10. We booked Magic Kingdom view rooms and were not disappointed.
