The *NEW* Polynesian Resort FAQ thread - *SEPT 2008*
 ALOHA! And Welcome to the New Fall 2008 Polynesian Resort FAQ thread!  You will find general resort information here in the first post, and I will continuously place links to different posts with pictures and comments about the various longhouses, restaurants, etc. So, sit back, relax, envision a tropical ambience, pretend your bottle of spring water is a Lapu-Lapu and enjoy this thread!!  ********************************** Soak up the sun at Walt Disney World's Polynesian Resort! The Polynesian celebrates the tranquil spirit and picturesque splendor of the South Seas islands, and is conveniently located in the Magic Kingdom area. The Magic Kingdom park is just a short, pleasant boat ride away...  The main building of the Polynesian Resort is the Great Ceremonial House. It's a 2-story building which contains check-in; lobby concierge (available to all guests of the resort); Trader Jack's merchandise shop containing gifts, toys, and a pin-trading cart; Bou-Tiki which offers resort logo merchandise, gifts, tropical clothing, swimwear, jewelry, and accessories; Samoa Snacks which offers sundries, film, newspapers, magazines, stamps, liquors, wine, beer, and snacks; The Kona Cafe restaurant, 'Ohana restaurant, the Tambu Lounge, the Kona Coffee bar, and Captain Cook's quick-service counter cafe'. Children's activities are frequently held inside the GCH as well.      The centerpiece of the Great Ceremonial House is a waterfall that reaches over 2 stories high:    Guest rooms are located within various "longhouses", each named after a different island in the South Pacific: Tonga (contains only suites), Aotearoa, Fiji, Tuvalu, Rarotonga, Niue, Samoa, Hawaii (contains only concierge/club level rooms), Tokelau, Rapa Nui, and Tahiti. Scroll down for DIS-reader reviews of each longhouse.  Room Features: Rooms are available with two queen-size beds (available with sofa bed); king-size beds available in suites Disabled accessible rooms available Irons, ironing boards, and hairdryers in each room In-room coffee makers and refrigerators available at no charge Pak-n-Play Cribs available upon request In-room safes Disney Channel and ESPN Newspaper delivery High-speed Internet access (additional fee applies) All guests rooms (except suites) have 2 queen beds plus a day bed and were recently refurbished, and look like this:        Magic Kingdom-view rooms (separate booking category) offer a spectacular view of the Seven Seas Lagoon and the Magic Kingdom, right from your room:  The feature pool is called the Nanea Volcano pool and was completed in 2001. It's a "zero-depth entry" pool which means that you can walk right in without any steps or ladder. It features a grotto slide and a children's water play area. Life jackets are provided to resort guests for no charge.  The Nanea Volcano Pool offers one of the best experiences on all Disney property; the ability to swim while watching the fireworks over the castle, every night....  This thread is a work-in-progress! I'll be continuously adding to it, and I hope that all of you who love the Polynesian Resort, and those of you who are considering a stay at this tropical Disney paradise, will contribute to this thread!!!

Transportation to and from the Polynesian Resort
The Polynesian Resort is one of only 3 resorts that is on the monorail. The one thing that makes the Polynesian "better" than the other 2 in regards to transportation is the fact that it's right next to the TTC (Ticket & Transportation Center), via a short walkway, which offers the monorail to Epcot, in addition of course to the monorail to the Magic Kingdom!
  The Polynesian also offers a boat launch to the Magic Kingdom, which it shares with the Grand Floridian Resort:

I wanted to try and be the first to reply. I have been lurking on the other thread. Looking forward to my Nov. trip to the Poly!! I'me sure I'll be asking questions as my trip gets closer. I will post pictures when I get back.
Thanks for all your hard work putting this together!!

I'm here, I'm here!! I think I posted once or twice on the old one and had been lurking. I stayed at the Poly once in '94 and can't wait to go back in July for our honeymoon! But don't tell DFi...he thinks we're staying at the WL! SURPRISE!! I've been reading everything I can about the Poly so thanks for this thread!!
