Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

[princessemsmom]

I think the price varies by season. We just reserved a day in October and it was $52 for the full day, 10-7.

I just reserved one for half a day for next week (afternoon 3-7) and it was $42 and some change.

Oh good I'm glad the Oasis pool is open until 11:00

And if I'm not mistaken from last year, you don't get kicked out of the oasis pool. If you scanned it, and it let you, you got in. We got booted from the lava pool and couldn't scan into oasis. Yet plenty of people we in there from earlier enjoying the night away.

Not to self. Plan early!

Anyone who is there now that can report on the bird situation at The Captain Cooks patio and the boat dock? Apparently the birds are nesting and have been attacking. CM's have been posted to warn guests, just wondering how accurate the posts on FB are. There is a picture of the CM's so something is going on.

I didn't experience any but this sign made me laugh every time I saw it...

The laundry in Moorea is DVC only.

Can you use it if you are staying in a DVC Studio but you aren't a DVC member?

Ah, nesting birds. About this time a couple of years ago I walked to/from work (Chicago) and would cross the bridge on North Ave that went over the Chicago river. There was this bird that would swoop down and peck people on the head as they'd walk by.
The first time it happened to me, I wasn't even sure what happened! So then I turned around and watched people surprise attacked, their arms flailing and yelling, it was that bird! ...sounds scary but it was hysterical! It lasted a few weeks, I just walked with an umbrella over my head across the bridge. People learned - others had umbrellas, hoods, plastic bags...

Yes. The laundry is considered part of the accommodation, not a member benefit.

Here now and I did see some baby ducks around guests' feet on the patio, but nothing too aggressive.

We will be staying at the Poly for the first time in a standard DVC studio. Are there any room requests we should add? We aren't too picky...like to be close to transportation if possible. But I know nothing about the layout! Any recommendations??

We may be the in the minority, but we love Moorea - have not stayed since it turned DVC (will be there next month!) but stayed several times when it was Tahiti I don't really consider any long house a long walk from anything else, but Moorea also puts us close to the path to TTC which we walk to and take monorail to Epcot. I think it could be a little quieter than those that are around the pools. We also generally request ground floor - because the kiddos like the ability to open the slider and walk out to the grass to play (with exception of a few rooms that are blocked off by bushes.)

How does that work do you pay on the app with a credit card and tip with cash when they drop you off?

Yup, we give them cash.

Now that's funny especially since we live there! I guess these birds draw blood?? But they are mostly by the boat dock and Captain Cooks which isn't somewhere we usually are.

I saw their photo, super cute I guess they moved mama but she really likes the Polynesian.

Since it's funny sounds like a little exaggerated which I figured.

I have had a robin attacking me to protect her babies lol. She never hurt me but swooped down toward my head.

One more week and we'll be in our newest home away from home

We are staying from 12/21-12/30. I've been reading through the thread to glean as much information as possible. We're BC vets but are switching to the Poly this year for the first time. Thanks to all the Poly vets here who help so much with their knowledge and thanks to the other noobs for asking questions I haven't even thought of!

 

[DisMomof2Princesses]

Was just there last week and can report there was both chicken and shrimp.

Thank you for confirming this!

 

[DisMomof2Princesses]

We had dinner at 'Ohana two weeks ago and there was chicken, shrimp & beef - all yummy! Though I'd give it all away for more of that bread pudding...

Thanks for the report!

Lol I hope "mama" finds a different resort before we come next year. We visited the Poly for a tour last winter and the Oasis pool was "swimming" with ducks. They are not my favorite.

There were ducks in the lava pool when we were there 3 years ago. I love ducks but do not want duck poop in the pool yuck!
