Here you can escape to your own South Seas hideaway, with tropical gardens, lavish luaus and gentle waves lapping against the sandy shores. Friendly people, fun, laughter and good cheer reflect the enchanting customs and culture of the islands. Torch-lit walkways, a cascading indoor waterfall and the soothing sound of distant drums beckon with the imagery of paradise found. Aloha. Resort features 847 guest rooms, pool with slide, quiet pool, children's play area, arcade, children's activity center, jogging trail, bicycle rentals and a marina with watercraft rentals. Rooms are available for guests with disabilities.

The Park Hopper option is the only way you will be able to fully enjoy the Extra Magic Hours Benefit when the extra hours in the morning is a different Disney theme park than the extra hours in the evening.

Thanksgiving Disney

This was our fourth disney trip.Hotel was clean and our room was updated but the resturants and food were very poor for what they charge.I would recommend this hotel only if you get a good room rate.

Expected

Went to Epcot. The hotel is beautiful and nice. Not as clean as years passed and not as much emphasis on the "experience". Room was close to monorail and parking lot, but we booked at last minute.

Overnight at the Polynesian

The staff was very friendly and accomodating. [...] The guard at the gate had our parking pass in minutes, the bell services had our luggage up to our room right away, and the ladies at check-in even made our stay a little extra special with some pixie dust. I saved so much money booking with orbitz that I will definitely use them for our next trip to Orlando.

Request a room in the Tahiti building and then just take a short (under 5 minutes) walk to the ticket and transportation center. You can catch a ferry or monrail to the Magic Kingdom, monorail to Epcot, or a bus to Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios.

one-night stay at the Polynesian

We stayed at the Polynesian for just one night on the tail end of a five-night stay at the Grand Floridian. The room was a little rough around the edges, but overall our experience was excellent! We even got an upgrade to a Magic Kingdom view room!

Peaceful Polynesian

The Polynesian is a beautiful resort. The restaurants on site were wonderful. We love going to Disney and the Polynesian is a great change of pace from the parks. We were initally assigned a room right beside an elevator that was noisy, but we were moved with no problems when we asked for a quieter location.

Beautiful Hotel. Great Location.

As far as Disney Hotels go, this is definitely at the top. The hotel was beautiful and well maintained. The grounds and pathways are gorgeous. The Volcano Pool was lots of fun and the quiet pool, well, was always quiet. Excellent food choices with Kona Cafe and 'Ohanas. Captain Cooks (counter service) was sub par. Very small, crowded, slow and with few choices. Considering the size of the hotel, you would think they would have a larger counter service restaurant. The Poly was very very quiet considering how crowded the parks were. This is definitely a great hotel if you want to come back to the hotel and relax. We would definitely stay here again.

Always make dining reservations at any table service restaurant when visiting Walt Disney World. Walk-up reservation opportunities are few and far between.

Great Price and Location. Tons of FUN!

Used the pool and lagoon area. Laid in the hammocks on the beach, used the boats. Had a blast. There were a few goldfish crackers under the couch and found an old knee brace in the room. We wondered who left that there? And why the cleaning staff hadn't taken it out. Otherwise, the room was awesome and comfortably slept 5.
