Disney's Polynesian Resort

Lake Buena Vista, Florida

Last edited by Robert Niles
One of the three Walt Disney World hotels connected to the parks via monorail, the Polynesian stands across the Seven Seas Lagoon from the Magic Kingdom, with wicker- and bamboo-furnished guestrooms in 11 longhouses, each named for a Pacific island.

The Polynesian in a true Disney classic. It has incredible landscaping, wonderful pools, great dining, large guest rooms, and a spectacular location across from the Magic Kingdom. The cast members are always helpful and welcoming, and the hotel has an ambiance that few other places can match. - Winston Chapman

Beautiful: the whole place is nice, lush and relaxing. the center island of plants in the lobby is also cool. Ohana is amazing. the food was more than enough( well it was a buffet) and was delicious. - David L.

It is so close to the Ticket and Transportation Center (walking distance) and is perfect for visiting the Magic Kingdom. Make sure you get a refurbished room (I am not sure if they are all refurbished yet) - we did and it was beautiful. For one of the older resorts, the Poly still shines. Pool area is a BLAST for kids and the tiki bar service is outstanding. You can rent a speedboat and ride around the Seven Seas Lagoon and see the Magic Kingdom. Great view of fireworks. The dinner show is great. Expensive, but worth it. - s b

The cafe is the best! its simple bu good! the hotel is amazing though great place for relaxinggg - Arianna Biffle

I absolutely love the Poly. After a busy day at the parks, I love relaxing at this tropical getaway. The rooms are spacious and the grounds are beautiful. - Kim Armour
