Stayed at baylake tower 1-5-13 to 1-9-13 and found contempo cafe very convenient every morning for coffee bagels etc
They have really nice fresh sandwiches on delicious breads too.
I was so happy to have this close by and found everything to be quite. Good for a quick spot and selections were plentiful enough too . Love it and bay lake tower!

Our third time dining at Coral Reef. We had a party of 15 and we were seated in two booths on 1st level close to tank. Kids just loved watching the rays, fish, turtles, divers, in the tank. Our food was very good, fruit smoothies popular, Our waiters were very good. Had a lovely dinner and a great experience. One grandaughter thought her lobster pasta her best meal all week. Our large party tried most everything on the menu and everyone enjoyed their meals very much. A must do for the kids and a tradition when we visit Disneyworld.

The Poly will always be my favorite resort at Disney since the first time seeing it on tv commercials in the 70's. Although it took until 1995 for my first visit, I fell in love with the place when I finally had a chance to stay there.
This visit on 1-9-2013 to 1-12-13, after 4 nights at Bay Lake Tower, was no different with the exception of a couple of things. The reason I have a 7 rating is because as I looked around at the buildings inside and out, I realized that my beloved Poly is in desperate need of a total facelift and it made me feel sad that it is in such poor condition.
The grounds however are still beautiful with well established foliage and nice pathways. Placement of the buildings is fine as well, but the overall
decor is sadly outdated, way long ago compared to newer resorts.
I love the Poly so much, and hope they bring it back to life with new materials so she can once again outshine, or at least keep up, with other deluxe resorts. In the state it is in now, I can not justify the price with the condition being as it is now. That is the reason for my 7 rating
It breaks my heart really and I hope when I return to Disney in a few years that I can be once again excited to stay at the Poly.
Service was still perfect. Volcano pool still great. Feeling relaxed on grounds still excellent.
Wonderful people cm's and other guests. Perfect location and white sand beach. Monorail excellent.
Pros:

Spent 4 nights, 1-5-13 to 1-9-13, with adult daughter in studio lake view on points. Could not have been happier. Loved the style of the rooms, the walkway to Contemporary, and monorail was so convenient. So close to Contempo Cafe for coffee and quick meals.
Excellent sitting area outside between walkway and contemporary with great view and monorail passing by overhead. Sat there many times to drink coffee and enjoy the designated smoking area there. Very relaxing.
It has become my favorite resort as it offers modern decor and location that is outstanding. Great for adults who prefer not to be bombarded with too much Disney in your face atmosphere. We are already planning our next visit with more family members and will stay at Bay Lake Tower 1 or 2 bedroom depending on size of group.
For 2 people, the studio is perfect. Even with 1 small child it has plenty of space. Check in was flawless and cm's were exceptional in customer service. Highly recommended.

Ate here for lunch and had a five minute wait before seated. OMG the post roast was so good. The beef melted in my mouth. The mashed potatoes tasted like they were from fresh potatoes and the salad wasn't over loaded with dressing. The only thing was the dessert too rich for me. The sever was just okay but refilled my drink with no asking. I used the Disney dining plan for this and worth every penny.
Pros:
The sald and pot roastCons:

I did the St. Thomas tour and shopping and I was disappointed. I was on an open air bus and was taken on a two hour tour of the island. It also included some shopping. A tour of the island govtor's house. What a horrible place, dirty and smelly. I saw birds that were housed in a filthy cage and the shopping, what a joke. I did however purchase a nice sun dress and some rum. The worst part of this so called best of St. Thomas was a child cried for nearly an hour and a half. This child was way too young for this and the weather was very hot. Perhaps this child was overheated. I would not do this again.

just okayCons:

This was so worth the extra charge. I did the a la carte menu and the champagne cocktail was refreshing. I was seated in the private dining room and I had a window view. I didn't have the cheese course. I told the head waiter that I would like to be finished with dinner so that I could watch the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night football. I loved it when he explained to the servers that I wished to watch the match on the telly. He was from England. I was so spoiled from everyday meals. I didn't have the wine pairing because I had gotten a bottle of pink champagne in a gift basket. I do wish that I had tried the cheese course.

This was my first time eating here and I wasn't disappointed. The wait staff were wonderful and even helped me with the choices. The head waiter even surprised me with a decorated plate wishing me a happy birthday. I had a table near a window and I saw a beautiful sunset. I would eat here again.
