I like how Tim missed the very bright and colorful Hei Hei in the background when panning down the coffee area then proceeded to look for ‘hints of Moana’ in the tile in the bathroom 😂
Oliver is such the second child. I remember Jackson had to be in bed at 8:00. Oliver is 4 months enjoying the fireworks at 9:30. Happy 4th of July to a awesome family.
Haha!! Oliver is still going by wake windows so he's up for about 90 mins and then he's asleep for about 90 mins, until about 10pm then he'll sleep through the night until around 6am and then we start all over again with the wake windows :-) He'll have the 8pm bedtime later on when he's a bit older though!
In the early 80's when the only two hotels that were open at WDW the Polynesian and Contemporary, the Polynesian served a delicious buffet at the Pa Pete Bay Veranda restaurant. It was upstairs. and it cost only 5.00 for all you can eat buffet. They served the fish and shrimp wrapped in parchment paper and everything was delicious. Many choices it became our favorite restaurant quickly. Always enjoyed the fireworks at that view
The wristbands for fireworks for the 4th and NYE have been a thing for quite a few years now. It has nothing to do with the tower, there are still areas where others can still see them. It's to ensure only /guests staying there get to see the fireworks from the beach area. My hubby works there, and he enjoyed meeting you! Thanks for being so friendly to him and saying hi to us at home!
I wonder if the pause construction on the DVC tower for weddings. If so it’s good they think about that. Would not be happy paying for my dream Disney wedding and then all that noise through the ceremony.
I love the new rooms very nice. I love Ohana everything but the skewered meats. But hey, that was fine with me because everything else was delicious. Plus, we even sat by the window and watched the fireworks go off. If I remember, they dimmed the lights in the restaurant, and the music to the show played over the speakers. It was phenomenal. Keep up the great job, you guys! Oh Jenn, your hair looks so pretty, healthy, and long just looks great!
Thanks for sharing your visit, as always. Many family memories from the Polynesian. We stayed there our first family trip in 2003. We love the size of our Polynesian room, since it could accommodate a family five. My sons were 4, 6 and 10 that time. They are all in their 20’s now, time flies. We had a blast at the Luau. My youngest is lover of the Ohana’s, he’s a carnivore. So, we frequented the restaurant many times over the years. My husband and I just spent a few days there last fall after our first cruise on the Disney Wish. It was our first time as DVC members staying in a water view studio. I cannot believe how big Jackson has gotten. Baby Oliver is adorable and blessings to your family. Keep up the great work. 😎👍🏻✨💫🌴
Polynesian is the best!! They take such good care of you. My daughter was sick when she was little and they found out and sent up chicken soup, tea and honey. They helped us find a walk in clinic and they are just awesome.
Gorgeous floors! The more I see updated hotels/motels with hard flooring, the more carpet seems honestly ick. Great trend, if it is one. Probably louder, but definitely cleaner!
When I buy hot dogs, Nathan’s are my favorite, I like to use the King Hawaiian Hot Dog Buns. The saltiness of the beef in a sweet soft bun. Delicious 😋❤️🌭
Aww this brings back lovely memories from our stay in the Poly’s new rooms April ‘22 for 2 weeks (from the UK). We loved it. Spacious and modern room and bathroom. Beds were super comfy. Cost a fortune but was worth it 😂 What an amazing view you had. Hoping to come back to WDW in 2025 (third time). Where to stay next? Been to AKL and the Poly now.
We were there on the 4th 🇺🇸 too, and weren’t staying there. They directed us to the beach all the way to the right near the bungalows to watch the fireworks 💥. They said the other beach areas were wristbands only due to a beach 🏖️ party.
We had some magic made for us on our honeymoon for our one Polynesian night, and they upgraded us to a park view. I’m so glad you guys get to experience this magic too!
By going to check in, in person you're saving jobs. Same goes for grocery stores i refuse to go to self checkout if there is someone working at the register. Would love to stay at the poly. Beautiful resort.
Love when Tim pans to Jackson’s face at the restaurant when the guy is playing the ukulele and Jackson is completely unfazed and stuffing his face LOL 😂😂😂 I’m right there with him!!!
Room looks great, we ate here in 2003 and they where carving the meats directly onto your plate. Tim you got that dad look going, no gel, need a hair and beard trim.
We stayed at Bay Lake and heard the fireworks on Ch 105. Sad you couldn't hear from Poly!! (Thank for letting me get a pic with you in front of Steakhouse 71 on Monday. It made my trip. I was a little shy and it made my 8 year old son's day too! Thank you! Been watching you all since 2014! You have given us so much good advice! )
As we were watching this we had our Shusher on for our baby, we turned it off and swore we kept hearing it. We then saw the shusher in Oliver's stroller and it all made sense😂😂😂
No balcony on the second floor? We were given a reason for that by our trainer. She said that at night, all the giant tiki figures come to life and they inspect all the buildings to make sure everyone is safe and they stand outside to guard the buildings. Since they’re so tall, they didn’t build second floor balconies so the tikis could fit underneath the top floor balconies. Then, when morning arrives, they hurry back to their positions around the resort. This was what we were told to say, if anyone asked about the missing balconies. 😛
Just love the Polly been staying there since 1980…here fun fact about the second floor …None of the ORIGINAL Polynesian buildings have balconys on the second floor. The reason has to do with the culture of the south Pacific. Homes there do not have balconies on the second floor because of the fear that spirits would enter the residence. Thanks for great vlog
The original longhouses resembles traditional buildings in Polynesia which would not have a full balcony on the second floor - that’s why the original building have the Juliet balcony instead.
We stayed at Poly last year for the 4th and you had to have a wristband for the pool and beach back then as well. The Mickey Tie-dye shirts were so fun to make and came out amazing!
This brings back memories!!! We stayed in that exact building, exact same view one floor up last year!! This is getting me so excited as we have our first ever trip to the Contemporary coming up in less than a month. Theme park view so I’m super excited to know the tv has a fireworks music channel. Thank you for all the work you put into these videos!! Truly make my day!! ❤️🚝🎇
The Concierge Lounge in Hawaii has the music piped in. And I am so glad I watched this video. I need to request third floor to get an actual balcony. I remember hearing that the second floor was fake balconies, but I totally forgot by the time I booked.
Is it because the Contemporary doesn’t have a beach area to watch the fireworks from (and the beach at the Poly and GF has the music coming out there) ?
Those hard floors look nice and are probably easier to clean, but how is it for noise from other rooms? Do you hear tapdancing above your head or is it insulated?
We didn't hear any noise from anyone above or below us from the floors, but we did hear people in the hallway outside the door at night and in the morning. It wasn't too bad though.
The Older Polynesian Buildings only had 3 floor balconies and 1st floor patios. Second floors only had the faux balconies. The DVC side buildings have balconies on floors as when they added on to the resort in the late 80’s they put balconies on all floors because people wanted them.
So fun! And Ohana is our favorite for its dessert! And agreed, they should totally have the music play in the room. We ran into that same issue last year with our Theme Park view room too.

@@TheTimTrackerU guys should do a Stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge for Jackson to see the Animals from your room.
@TheTimTracker have plenty of teething cream on stock
"These cakes" really made me laugh 😂❤
OMG!!! I've been gone a long time ....New baby!!! Congrats!
We noticed too at the Coronado they do beverages/ snacks on alternating floors… lol got those extra steps I guess
22:51 oh Tim 😂😂😂
I really like that Disney 100 Loungefly

I know it's been gone for years, but I still miss your curly stache. When you got rid of it you really settled down though, which is nice
Hey Disney was an epic fail lol. Your dinner sounded amazing.
That's the building my family likes to stay at! Always a wonderful view of the fireworks
I remember when you made that coconut bread at home.

I cannot believe how big Jackson has gotten. Baby Oliver is adorable and blessings to your family. Keep up the great work. 😎👍🏻✨💫🌴
Ollie-Pop’s getting so big! He’s looking like Tim every single day!
I stayed in almost exactly this same room! It was the best room I’ve ever stayed in. So so cool, and watching fireworks from the resort was awesomw
Right now I’m staying at old key west for 2 weeks. And today I’m going to Epcot. Hopefully I can see you and your family. I’m a big fan of you!
😂😂I cracked up when Tim talked about the butt on the statute
Polynesian is the best!! They take such good care of you. My daughter was sick when she was little and they found out and sent up chicken soup, tea and honey. They helped us find a walk in clinic and they are just awesome.
It is fun interacting with CM's and it starts with checking in! Think Tim might be taking the lamp shade home!
We got to briefly say hi during the flyover event. Bluey shirt guy, kid, and wife. Thanks for saying hi and for all the great content!
I kno it’s a couple years away. But I predict when epic universe opens. Tim will easily go past 1mil subscribers. He deserves it
Gorgeous floors! The more I see updated hotels/motels with hard flooring, the more carpet seems honestly ick. Great trend, if it is one. Probably louder, but definitely cleaner!
Thank you! we are staying at Poly in a few months. CAN'T WAIT!!!
Have fun!!
Love how Tim and jenn are both enjoying the resort they love ❤️ having a great time together
We had so much fun! :-)
@TheTimTracker U should stay at All Star movies for Jackson. Especially if he likes Woody.
Can't wait for Water Park Vlogs as weather gets warmer
When I buy hot dogs, Nathan’s are my favorite, I like to use the King Hawaiian Hot Dog Buns. The saltiness of the beef in a sweet soft bun. Delicious 😋❤️🌭
28:24 - Outro in the toilet room. 🚽 It’s supposed to be a family channel… keep the potty talk to a minimum. 😂
lol!
"These cakes" gave me a desperately needed laugh !!! 😆
Hope you enjoyed the rest of your staycation ✌❤
Beautiful video!! Tim your frustration with Hey Disney… lol! Gotta love technology!!
Aww this brings back lovely memories from our stay in the Poly’s new rooms April ‘22 for 2 weeks (from the UK). We loved it. Spacious and modern room and bathroom. Beds were super comfy. Cost a fortune but was worth it 😂
What an amazing view you had. Hoping to come back to WDW in 2025 (third time). Where to stay next? Been to AKL and the Poly now.
We bought DVC in February and the Poly is our home resort! We haven’t stayed there yet so we are so excited for our future stay there!
Oliver with the 🎆🎇 was both adorable and hilarious. Thanks for sharing the fun with us!
The Polynesian on any holiday is magical ❤❤❤
21:53 I knew someone that married in court before their actual wedding but didn’t tell anyone yet. Technically married lol!
Watching from Ottawa Canada. 🇨🇦🍁
Ooh the 50th coffee blend. I took a bag of that bag to England 😋
We were there on the 4th 🇺🇸 too, and weren’t staying there. They directed us to the beach all the way to the right near the bungalows to watch the fireworks 💥. They said the other beach areas were wristbands only due to a beach 🏖️ party.
On our most recent DVC trip ( and our first to the Poly) my husband and I had one of our best Disney trips ever! Amazing staff and property!!
We had some magic made for us on our honeymoon for our one Polynesian night, and they upgraded us to a park view. I’m so glad you guys get to experience this magic too!
I love living vicariously through you all 😂 looked like a great time! Thank you for the updates on Ig Jenn 😊
The electric light pageant is so underrated
The Poly is our favorite!!
‘technically married’ lol I caught that too and then you referenced the wth moment 😂
By going to check in, in person you're saving jobs. Same goes for grocery stores i refuse to go to self checkout if there is someone working at the register. Would love to stay at the poly. Beautiful resort.
Love when Tim pans to Jackson’s face at the restaurant when the guy is playing the ukulele and Jackson is completely unfazed and stuffing his face LOL 😂😂😂 I’m right there with him!!!
ohana is our absolute favorite restaurant on property!
Room looks great, we ate here in 2003 and they where carving the meats directly onto your plate. Tim you got that dad look going, no gel, need a hair and beard trim.
I had just moved to take a sip of coffee when it got to the part about "these cakes!"... I almost spit coffee all over my computer 🤣
Tim that balcony is a French balcony❤❤❤❤
It was such a pleasure meeting you guys at Moana’s Mercentile this day. Jenn you are an absolute sweetheart!
We stayed at Bay Lake and heard the fireworks on Ch 105. Sad you couldn't hear from Poly!! (Thank for letting me get a pic with you in front of Steakhouse 71 on Monday. It made my trip. I was a little shy and it made my 8 year old son's day too! Thank you! Been watching you all since 2014! You have given us so much good advice! )
Loved seeing Jenn’s stories from this trip! So glad you guys had fun! ❤
you keep mentioning USB charging but the new C Charging system is becoming standard so are the hotels catering for this new system
What is the new C charging system?
As we were watching this we had our Shusher on for our baby, we turned it off and swore we kept hearing it. We then saw the shusher in Oliver's stroller and it all made sense😂😂😂
We were there at the same time. I have never seen the regular rooms only the villas. Looks great. I could stay there.
No balcony on the second floor? We were given a reason for that by our trainer. She said that at night, all the giant tiki figures come to life and they inspect all the buildings to make sure everyone is safe and they stand outside to guard the buildings.

Oh, very interesting! I'll have to tell Jackson that!
I absolutely love Oliver’s facial expressions. ❤😂
Can't believe how big Oliver is getting! He's so cute and definitely looks a lot like Tim. 🙂
Lol, just thinking how much he looks like Jenn ;) Babies change their looks literally every day!
Haha true! I think both boys are a good mix of both with Jackson looking more like Jenn, and Oliver looking more like Tim. Both cuties either way. 😊
The view is fantastic looking. Have fun guys
The bread pudding at Ohana is something I had at the Disney Princess race in 2015 and I still think about it 😂
It's so good!!
Poly is one of our home resorts...we love it...inperson check in is so much better than online...glad you had fun
Just love the Polly been staying there since 1980…here fun fact about the second floor …None of the ORIGINAL Polynesian buildings have balconys on the second floor. The reason has to do with the culture of the south Pacific. Homes there do not have balconies on the second floor because of the fear that spirits would enter the residence. Thanks for great vlog
Wowza what a view! 😍😍
The original longhouses resembles traditional buildings in Polynesia which would not have a full balcony on the second floor - that’s why the original building have the Juliet balcony instead.
I don't think I've seen Tim hair so long, it suits him
Glad you’re having a good time.
We stayed at Poly last year for the 4th and you had to have a wristband for the pool and beach back then as well. The Mickey Tie-dye shirts were so fun to make and came out amazing!
This brings back memories!!! We stayed in that exact building, exact same view one floor up last year!! This is getting me so excited as we have our first ever trip to the Contemporary coming up in less than a month. Theme park view so I’m super excited to know the tv has a fireworks music channel. Thank you for all the work you put into these videos!! Truly make my day!! ❤️🚝🎇
You never mention the prices of anything you did. How much was the room ? How much was that dinner ? Was it worth the price ?
Ohana looks like a must do. Your view for the fireworks was amazing 🤩
You all should do a staycation at the polynesian king
kamehama suite at the polynesian
I would love to! Maybe one day :-)
Unpopular opinion- have never liked Ohana dinner- only breakfast.
Poly is my favorite resort. Miss it. Great video!
Looks like a great staycation!! Can’t wait to see day 2
Ohanas is hands down our favorite meal every trip. You should have dipping sauces with your food. The chicken wings and noodles are delicious
No mention of Hey Hey behind the coffee maker?
I realized it on our last day and I mentioned it then lol oops!
love the new renovation of the room. i really want to try the ohana noodles. i always hear amazing things about them
The Concierge Lounge in Hawaii has the music piped in. And I am so glad I watched this video. I need to request third floor to get an actual balcony. I remember hearing that the second floor was fake balconies, but I totally forgot by the time I booked.
Is it because the Contemporary doesn’t have a beach area to watch the fireworks from (and the beach at the Poly and GF has the music coming out there) ?
I’ve always wanted a hotel room with an Xbox storage space!! 🤣
lol!
we have been at west gate for 2 weeks every night we saw the fireworks from 4 places
I loved the shrimp casserole. We also ask for extra sauce for the pot stickers.
It seems like it'd be such an easy thing to do to add the channel for the fireworks music, stinks they don't have it there.
Happy 4th of July!!
Those hard floors look nice and are probably easier to clean, but how is it for noise from other rooms? Do you hear tapdancing above your head or is it insulated?
We didn't hear any noise from anyone above or below us from the floors, but we did hear people in the hallway outside the door at night and in the morning. It wasn't too bad though.
That was our exact experience with Hey Disney!
It was a little underwhelming lol
So excited for this video 😊

What an amazing view
I totally forgot you guys had another baby..so cute. You guys Rock ✌️😎
Baby Oliver was adorable in his Hawaiian romper!
Great video. Jenn and Oliver look like they are in matching outfits at Ohana.
Can I be first?! Did I make it? Can't wait to watch, pressing play!
tim’s “you have the attention span of a 3 month old” killed me 😭😂😉😉
So fun! And Ohana is our favorite for its dessert! And agreed, they should totally have the music play in the room. We ran into that same issue last year with our Theme Park view room too.
The hidden Mickey under the soaps at 5:06 was so good!
The Poly looks like such a beautiful resort😍
I love that the whole Tracker fam watched the fireworks together🎆😄 I wonder what Oliver was thinking 🤔😁
Wel I’m technically married… we eloped but haven’t told anyone 😂 great to have run into you at capt cooks!
You’re technically married because they’re probably engaged.also Oliver is so funny and so cute 😂
