polynesian village resort

Who: we are a family of 4 (spouse 44, me 33, 3 year old, 7 year old) both nurses that work hard but don’t get a lot of time off together. We pick a different resort every time we go - usually we go twice a year. That being said we decided on a big trip so held out for 2 years to build this trip...

This week, the DIS team had breakfast at 'Ohana in Disney's Polynesian Village Resort at Walt Disney World. Read all about their experience with the characters and food, and watch the in-restaurant review, too...

Hi. I'm currently considering renting points for a standard view studio. Before I do that (if I do that), I want to know what info to pass along to the points owner. Ideally, I'd like Tokelau or Morea, any floor really. (They all have balconies or patios, correct?) I really don't mind Pago Pago...

Hi! Does anyone know if there's a running list somewhere of the DVC studios that are fully refurbished with the murphy bed? If not, could we maybe create a running list here of building + room numbers that are confirmed? Or, maybe it's easier to make a list of those currently without it? lol...

Hey everyone! Welcome to the Bougie Birthday Trip! I’m Kara. I’ve written a few Trip Reports before, I’ve got all the links in my signature if you feel like checking them out. It’s been a couple years since I’ve written one though, and I’ve been pretty absent from the Dis, in general lately...

We are going in November and I am debating dinner on our Epcot day either earlier at say Chefs de France to allow time to do some more stuff after or a later dinner (7ish, I have a 4 yo that I don't want to kill the first day) at Kona? We are staying at Shades of Green across the street from Poly.

Curious how big the flip over sofa beds are in the newly renovated Poly rooms. Are they big enough for a 6 foot tall person or would that be a bit cramped? Thanks!

Heading to the Poly villas from Oct 4-8 with 2 small kids (ages 18 mo and 5) and forgot about the anniversary crowds when we booked. SIGH. So I am planning on only 2 park days and 2 resort days. If that. Crowds with a drunk tiny person aka toddler are pretty miserable. Anything we should do at...

I’ll be heading to Poly in November and was wondering the best longhouse/room request to make for a standard view room. I’ve never stayed at a deluxe resort and this will be my boyfriends first Disney trip so I’m trying to make it really special! When I look online I get a little confused on if...

Hi All, my hubby and I are planning our anniversary trip from 10/31-11/11. We currently have 8 nights booked at the Polynesian from 10/31-11/8 with a transfer over to Royal Pacific from 11/8-11/11. We have the option of going to halloween horror nights on check in day, but that would push disney...

We are staying at the Polynesian this week and I went to Captain Cooks to get my meatballs last night. When I tasted them, I thought, wow, the quality has really gone downhill. There was hardly any coconut milk in the lesser quality rice (I think it was parboiled), and the meatballs were dense...

Hi, I couldn’t find a thread anywhere on this topic. Where can I get the latest news on the ongoing construction at the resort? I am booked to stat there mid-May and am just learning that permits were filed to do work on the pool. I know the monorail torn down (non-issue for me) but now I’m...

We have our very first stay as DVC members coming up in just 8 days! Our kids still don't know we're going or that we are DVC members (they listen to the podcast with me and will be out of their minds when they find out). We're doing a 4 resort split stay: 2 nights @ Poly (studio, actually have...

Hi everyone! We have a Poly reservation for July 2021 and are hoping the resort is open by then. However, with the new announcement I wanted to start a thread of what resort people are getting switched to by Disney because of the closure, specifically from the Polynesian, so we know what to...

My husband and I are looking to buy in to DVC in the near future and have been wracking out brains to narrow down which resort we want - as in, I have created a 10 page spreadsheet comparing almost every possible factor you can imagine to try and choose. LOL At this point, we have narrowed down...

I just got back from a 2 week trip as a first time DVC owner and I had an AMAZING time! 3 adults traveling and we wanted to try the different resorts to see what we liked. We took a flight from California and it was lovely having the middle rows blocked off with extra room to stretch our legs...

Hi everyone! We are looking to book a trip for next summer and I need help deciding on a resort. It is just two adults and we are probably going to be renting DVC points. We are going to be going for somewhere between 8-10 nights and can’t choose if we want to do a split stay between Boardwalk...

So I know that I am asking this question far in advance; however, I am working on planning this trip with someone who is on the other side of the country, and it can be hard sometimes. The trip isn't until September 10-18, 2021 (I know a long way away) for four people. Two of us have been...

We are looking forward to going in 2021 but unfortunately we are torn on where to stay. Half of us want AKL where we would stay for 9 nights- and the Polynesian for 8 nights. The only thing that is holding us back from both are: The poly being crowded all the time and pricey for outdated rooms...

We are going to be staying at Shades of Green this summer & I had planned to take the walking path to the Polynesian for transportation to/from Magic Kingdom & Epcot. Then I had a thought. How often are gators seen on/near the trail between the two and how far away is any water and/or shrubbery...
