Today we said goodbye to our room at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort as our two week stay here had come to an end. We were moving on to our third Disney Resort – Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village for a week. We moved one more time at the very end of our holiday, but more on that then.
When you switch between Disney Resorts you have the option for Disney to move your luggage for you, or you can do it yourself. Since we had some time between checking out at Poly and our Afternoon Tea at Grand Floridian, we decided to just do it ourselves. Plus we wanted to have a chat with a Cast Member at Reception.
As I mentioned, we had one more Resort change during this trip – just one night at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa. This was because I tacked on an extra day of our holiday quite last minute so that we could be at Walt Disney World for the 45th anniversary on 1st October 2016. I had tried to get the extra night at Animal Kingdom Villas, but they were all booked out. My friend who is also a Disney Vacation Member, suggested we ask when we checked in, as people do back out of their bookings. We asked, but sadly, still all booked. It wasn’t too big a deal in the grand scheme of things, but it would have been handy to save us the move.
