I have nothing bad to say about this place. It is well worth the money. Having a 5 year old made the monorail priceless. Great staff and very friendly. If your doing a package deal I would recommend not getting the quick service meal plan, it was a bit to much like I was in the cafeteria. With that said,... More

The room is well decorated in the Hawaiian theme, but it looks like the room and the entire Resort are stuck in the early 70's. I know this is one of the original hotels Disney opened, and the rooms show it. Major renovation desperately needed. The property itself is beautiful, especially the waterfall inside the lobby and on the walking... More

We booked our room a year in advance and requested a ground floor room close to the lobby because my hubby has back problems. When we arrived we were told that our room was on the second floor in the building farthest from the main house. When I complained I was told there was nothing that could be done so... More

My daughter and I stayed at the Polynesian from May 12 -17. This is my favorite Disney resort and my 2nd stay at the Polynesian. The moment we arrived, the tropical ambience of the hotel transported us to a perfect Disney version of Polynesia. I had already checked in online plus there was really noone in line at the check-in... More

We stayed on the third floor, Aotearoa house, May 13 to 15, 2012. Although the hotel is dated, the rooms are bigger than Wilderness Lodge and it was nice for our boys (12 & 14) to have their own beds. The pool is a bit shallow for older kids but great for younger. The slide is fun. We LOVED watching... More

We were upgraded to a room at the concierge level with a great view of the Magic Kingdom - PERFECT for my daughter's birthday. Our suite was right next to tthe lounge, so the kids got up for breakfast, ate and watched tv in their pjs! The food was delicious, the service impeccable and the commute to the park was... More

This was our third stay at the wonderful Polynesian. We celebrated our 17th, 20th and now our 21st anniversaries at the Polynesian. I can only say this: if you want to feel you have been transported to another world, stay at the Polynesian. Yes, it is part of the Disney World park, but once you step into the resort, you... More

Monorail is a great help. Club Rooms with Meal plan, there is nothing left to purchase. Lilo and Stitch Breakfast at hotel was great, one of best meals, and quick trip to others: Wilderness Lodge visit Contemporary Resort breakfast with Mickey

Disney's Polynesian Resort was a great choice for our family. Our rooms were newly renovated and on the ground floor. Every evening the children had a dinner picnic on the grass that was right outside of our sliding doors. Additionally, they were able to watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the grass. The pools and beach areas were great. There... More

We have been to the Polynesian Resort twice and had a great time....I keep telling the kids we need to try another Disney Hotel but its hard to get them to try another one. We even had to leave the Nic Hotel during the night because it was so bad and the Polynesian got us right in. All our stress... More
