About Disney's Polynesian Village Resort

  • Resort Room
    Enjoy the many amenities of the resort
  • Freebies
    This stay includes Wi-Fi for free

As one of Walt Disney World’s original hotels, the Polynesian, or Poly, has a rich history and is incredibly popular with Disney fans. Disney resorts are all family-friendly, but with an amazing pool area, kids’ club, and large rooms that sleep a family of five, The Poly exceeds expectations.

Located on the northwest side of Walt Disney World, the Poly is connected to several Disney resorts, including the Grand Floridian and the Contemporary, via the resorts ultra-convenient location right on the monorail line. The monorail and ferry also offer transportation to Magic Kingdom, and a short walk to the Transportation Center, which offers rides to Epcot. Traveling to other parks requires a short bus ride.

The Poly is considered a village because of the sprawling layout compromised of 11 longhouses, the Bora Bora Bungalows, and the Great Ceremonial House. There are many on-site amenities, ranging from a grotto pool that features a 40-foot tall volcano and 140-foot-long waterslide, a white sand beach with recreation, an outdoor playground, and a 24-hour video game arcade.

There are three kid-friendly restaurants in addition to Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto. Kona Café, Captain Cook’s, and ‘Ohana are the on-site restaurants offering something for everyone. Plus, the Spirit of Aloha dinner show is extremely popular. For fine dining, the Grand Floridian and the Contemporary are just a short monorail ride away.

The rooms are a huge advantage to families because they sleep up to five people, more than most Disney resorts. They have recently undergone a big renovation in terms of design. Plenty of sleeping space, places to sit, a desk, and furnished balconies are great features for families at the resort.

While I didn't have much experience with the Polynesian or any of the other Magic Kingdom Resorts, my wife was very familiar with it from when she was visiting there frequently as a child in the 90s. We weren't sure if our experience was a direct result of Covid-19, but we were very disappointed that for over $1,000 a night, we ended up having to do doordash most nights, the food we did get on-site (Kona restaurant had an identical menu to Ohana, the latter of which was even more expensive) was subpar and felt like you could get similar cuisine at a grocery store. Most disappointingly, housekeeping was altered to only provide service every other day and even with this statement we checked in on a Wednesday but didn't have beds made or the room tidied until we requested it on Saturday night/Sunday morning. I have seen better service at a Motel 6. Similarly as part of a deal with one of the restaurants (Captain Cooks), we ordered dinner one time with commemorative 50th Anniversary cups but instead we're given generic Disney World cups in the package. When we went to complain we were told that the exchange could not be made as we'd already used the cups. Luckily we had a very helpful cast member named Sheila who took care of it, and we appreciate her stepping up and going above and beyond. That being said the location was excellent as we could hop on a ferry or take a quick monorail ride directly to Magic Kingdom which is where we spent most of the time. Overall this was not worth the money and given the chance again we would not stay at any of the Magic Kingdom Resorts. I think we're going to go with Universal next time. Just really disappointing overall, unfortunately.

9.7 Wonderful
Pros:We loved that it really felt we were in the South Pacific, the theming is done so well. The convenience to the Magic Kingdom was also great. There is a perfect mix of quick eating and sit down options as well. Walking out of your building and seeing Cinderella's castle is pretty awesome.
Cons:Our room was in the farthest building from the main lobby area (Great Ceremonial House). Was a bit of a walk to get there, but it was a nice walk.
