Disney's Polynesian Village Resort

The hotel itself was fine and the room was recently renovated and clean. Can't beat the beautiful location close to the theme parks. However, the single greatest reason why we will NEVER stay here again is because of the fireworks and loud music blaring over the water every night. If you have young kids (which I've got to imagine is the majority of their hotel guests?), this is complete misery when the kids have bedtime around 8 PM-9 PM and can't sleep due to the noise torture.

10/10 in every way. Hotel is so fun, beautiful, clean, festive, well staffed with the most attentive people. I can’t say enough great things about this place. Smiles from ear to ear from the entire family. Book a theme park view to watch the fireworks and boat show every night. Can’t wait to come back soon.

The Poly is dreamy and wonderful. Loved almost everything about it - beds, decor, pools, location, easy parking and transportation. I will 10/10 stay here again. Worth every penny. One teeny area of criticism. The food options are not great. They are very much Polynesian themed and limited if you have dietary restrictions or the time of day. We made due but would have preferred a greater variety.

If traveling any time Soon - note that if you’ve booked a standard room, there is a good chance that you will be facing a construction site. This means construction equipment running outside your window first thing in the morning. We were able to get a room change but I’m sure this is not always possible. Once we were away from the construction, we had a great stay. The convenience to Magic Kingdom, pools, and grounds are great. The food can be hit or miss depending on your tastes.

We had the most amazing time, the staff at the Polynesian club level were so friendly! Evan was great in helping us get situated and made everything easy from check in to check out. We go to Disney each year and this was one of the smoothest Disney trips we’ve had. We stayed a week and every day at the club level was magical. Thank you again Evan!

This is a review from someone who has never stayed at this resort but has resort hopped: Omg this place is GORGEOUS and I love the vibe. This is the resort to go to get Moana & Stitch merchandise. The restaurants are very nice, everything here is beautiful. Be prepared for metal detectors & possibly being searched when you leave. That was new.

Stayed in a theme park view room for two nights. Cost was a little over $1K a night which was high for a time that there was no school break. I was going alone though so wanted to get a great room so splurged. While the hotel has had a room renovation there are still parts that need updating. The main hallways and old elevators in the buildings bring down the level of quality. I also prefer a building that requires you to scan your card in at night to enter (like the grand Floridian has), just feels safer. There is amazing nostalgia here though and the them is so great! I enjoyed my stay and I’m sure I will stay again. I still think Grand Floridan is my favorite though. Polynesian is my #2 choice though! Had a great time!!!

Such a convenient park to stay at with little ones. The monorail makes it really easy to get around to both magic kingdom and Epcot (our two favorite parks) The rooms are large and have two showers, which was fantastic. Big shoutout to the valet staff who helped us get a taxi with an infant seat when our 8 month old had to go to the emergency department. William from valet went truly above and beyond helping us make sure we could safely get our baby to the ER. All other staff we encountered at the resort were kind and helpful as well. Thank you!
