Disney's Polynesian Village Resort

For years my family has passed through this resort. For years I thought, I hated it. It was always so busy. It didn't matter the time of year, there were people everywhere. And then my family finally had the opportunity to stay here, at one of the busiest times of year and fell in love. Rooms are a good size for a family of 5. Quick service was great. Cast members fantastic! I took back all my negative feelings and can't wait to stay again!

We had a great family stay at Disney’s Polynesian Resort in one of their suites. The room was gorgeous—spacious, comfortable, and had such a relaxing tropical vibe. The whole resort is beautiful, and we loved the atmosphere. The only downside was the slow bell service—it took over an hour to get our luggage, and we almost missed our breakfast reservation because of it. Aside from that, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

Construction starts right outside your room slightly before 7am. The shaking, rattling, saw cutting, and worker conversation is a great feature! The best feature was management's apathetic attitude towards hard working families paying $1k/night. Especially after spending $1k to go to the Halloween party the night before. We returned from the party at 11pm only to have my young children startled by smashing, rattling, and cutting as the saw horse was 10' from our window. Dealing with cranky kids, who weren't able to get enough sleep, at Disney is a blast! Nice or the management to offer us $300 off of our $8k vacation at a "deluxe resort." I would have rather slept in our rental car in the parking lot. We've spent well over $100,000 at Disney over the past decade and we get a "sorry, they need to get the tower done to stay on schedule." Our travel agent was told that construction was to start after 9:00am by TWO separate Disney reps on the phone. The hotel denied it and said Florida state law allows them to start at 7:00am. Great way to treat guests. Disney has lost its appreciation for customers and only cares about the bottom line. They take their customers for granted. It shows in their actions. Dump.

We stayed at this hotel for one-night only because we were traveling to Daytona to stay the long weekend with friends. Our goal was to have a little Disney fun without a theme park experience and it was accomplished! We got there on a Thursday morning around 11:30am and our room was available for check-in (which was great to dump off our bags and freshen up after a long flight). Our kids (ages 5 & 8) thoroughly enjoyed the pool areas - both the water playground and the slide... it kept them busy the entire afternoon. My only wish was that there were better food options. However, we are pretty traditional eaters and don't branch out much, so some of the themed food was not appealing to my family. We ordered Flipper's Pizza for delivery that evening which was very yummy! The best part of the stay was that you have a tremendous view of the Magic Kingdom nightly fireworks over the lagoon!

Love the Moana and polynesian island theme here - they have welcome leis available when you arrive for check in. Plenty of comfortable seating throughout with a beautiful pool with a waterfall. Accessible to the monorail in order to get to Magic Kingdom or EPCOT.

During our post-cruise relaxation trip at The Poly, we had a fantastic time. The service was excellent, and the activities offered for guests were wonderful. It was a great opportunity to truly relax at Disney World. One of the highlights was our breakfast at Kona Cafe, where we tried the famous Tonga Toast and Pineapple Macadamia Nut Pancakes. Although we didn't enjoy Kona Cafe for dinner, everyone had recommended breakfast, and they were right. Trader Sam's was as great as always, and watching the Electrical Water Pageant and Happily Ever After from the beach area was truly magical.
