Just a quick update - I walked by there again yesterday and they were doing the activity but had no tiki masks this time. Apparently the masks actually come from Hawaii and their supplier is out of them right now. They were painting small ceramic pineapples for $10 as a replacement.
Oh, wouldn't it have been great to get that "surfboard"?
That would have been so cool!!!!
We were there last week and did the kukui nut leis and the tiki masks. But they must be running low on the nuts for the leis since the only colors they had left were green and orange! I wonder if they come from the same vendor. I noticed the tiki mask closed sales after like 15 minutes.
You pay right there at the activity. You can either charge it to your room or pay by credit card. The leis they had a table set up in the lobby. The masks were at the marina on the dock on the way to the boat.
to the DIS!
Oh my gosh thank you!!! We’re really excited-I’ve always wanted to stay at Poly and enjoy some good good and tiki drinks
Just wanted to quickly address this comment. As a Poly guest, you are totally IN LUCK on 7/4, it's everyone else that isn't.
I've done 12/31 and 7/4 at Poly the last handful of years. With the caveat that some of the exact setups change or get tweaked year to year... generally speaking the main Poly beach area (the area with the best fireworks viewing) is reserved / fenced off for Poly guests on 7/4 and it is strictly enforced. This was the setup pre-COVID and they did it again for 12/31 a few months ago (the first holiday fireworks show since COVID)... so I assume/expect they will for 7/4 this year as well.
Usually they also set up a DJ and some decorations on the beach. In the past characters have even made an appearance to dance (although no characters on 12/31 this past year, curious to see what they do 7/4 in that regard now that character interacting is back).
IMHO it is one of the funnest days of the year at Poly - you're in for a treat! (Pray for no evening thunderstorms)
In case you don't know this, they run the special fireworks 7/3 and 7/4 (well at least they normally do... Disney hasn't officially announced anything yet but the fireworks calendar suggests this will be the case). 7/3 is more open around Poly, 7/4 is where you see the DJ, fenced off beach, etc.
Happy to answer any questions - have fun!
sounds like we’re in luck with fireworks and that is awesome!
No, unfortunately in-room dining hasn't returned to Poly yet. Right now, GF is the only resort with in-room dining available.
This view won’t be here much longer once construction starts! Love the poly -gf path
Hey girl! I’m so happy you got to sneak in another trip!! Hopefully we’ll get to have a drink together before the year is up!! Have a great time!
? Oh awesome!
