Newbie with questions
I am new to this board and I have a few questions. #1 Is there only one guest laundry at POFQ? #2 How do I get to Poly for character breakfast at 8:30 AM? Do I take the bus/boat to DTD and then a bus to Poly or bus to TTC and walk to Poly? Which is quicker or is there another way I am not aware of to get there? Oh our party consists of myself, DH, DS(5; we'll be celebrating his 6th B-day while at WDW) and DFIL(68). I'm sure I will have more questions as we get closer. Only 60 days and counting. Oh another question how do I add a count down ticker to the bottom of my posts?
Thanks for all the help ahead of time. |

I only noticed one laundry while at POFQ. It is near the pool area behind the pool bar. To get to the Polynesian for the character breakfast, you can either take the bus to the magic kingdom and then the monorail to the polynesian...or you can just hop a cab. they are right near the bus areas at all resorts. It will run about $14 and take half the time. Taking the bus/monorail option could take up to 45minutes, so give yourself plenty of time to get there. Don't bother wiht the TTC or the DTD bus that early in the morning. Taking the MK bus and then the monorail will be the quickest. buses start running around 7am or so. I have been able to get one as early as 7:10am...never a problem. With that many people, I would just hop a cab/van...worth every penny to me. You can add a countdown to your signature after you have 100 posts and 3 months of membership here at mousebuzz.

Re: Newbie with questions
WELCOME.
Like DANA said, allow PLENTY of time. Character dining is popular for some reason. You want to be at the check in a little before your assigned time. I'd take the bus to the TTC then either walk (5 min POLY is right next to TTC) or take RESORT monorail. Poly is the 1st stop. If you take the bus to MK you have stops at Contempary and TTC before Poly. You can spend ALOT of time on the monorail loop.

So still no counter for me either. O well its still fun to chat here. And its better that you can talk disney with these guys instead of driving your family crazy like me. Hove fun on your trip and can't wait to hear and see about it.
