We stayed at the Polynesian for the second time in April/May and again had a nice time. However, we did have a problem with the room to which we were initially assigned. We were first given a room with only 1 king bed (contrary to our request for 2 queens) and were unable to move until the second day of... More

We stayed in the polynesian, it had recently been redone! We loved it! Club Level too! Very clean very very pleased with the property. The Volocano pool was a huge hit with our little boy. The Ohanu Breakfast was amazing! Stay in the club level if you can't it truly is worth it.

We stayed in Roratonga which had just been renovated. It was very nice and roomy. The grounds are so beautiful. The location cannot be beat! Two stops from Magic Kingdom and a short walk to the TTC to get to Epcot. It is however very frustrating to pay top dollar for this resort and not even be able to eat... More

My family stayed here this past April and had a fabulous time! The hotel is gorgeous and relaxing. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The pool is awesome and was so refreshing after very hot days at the park. I like the bus attendant during the week but I feel there should be a few more buses. One important... More

We were greeted in such a welcoming manner when we arrived on Disney's Magical Express - we were welcomed the moment we stepped off the coach and I was really impressed that the hotel knew who we were without having to even mention our family name. Check-in was very fast and friendly and we had a lovely room - certainly... More

We spent a glorious 5 days at the Polynesian in 2012. It is the tip of the top, the cream of the crop. Expensive. Wonderful. Views and gardens are spectacular. Location can't be beat. A couple of tips: 1) Ask for an upgraded room -- we booked a standard room and ended up with an amazing view of the Magic... More

Since our last review last year, we stayed again. I can tell you that, in the club room building, it has again been renovated. New bathrooms, carpet, wallpoaper and beds. Everything is fresh and clean. Could have had a better check in concierge, but the rest of the staff was pleasant. Worth the extra money to get a view of... More

I have stayed at the Walt Disney World Resort more than a dozen times over the past years, staying mostly at the Swan and Dolphin but also at all the Deluxe Hotels, but have not commented on TripAdvisor about any of them until now. Why now? I read the reviews about the Polynesian and thought they were very unfair; this... More

Walt Disney World's Polynesian Resort is one of my favorite places on Earth. Disney's service is second to none, and the island decor is perfect in every detail. The carved tikis, music, palm trees, gas tiki torches, beach and pool make you feel like you're actually in Hawaii or Tahiti. If you're looking for a great location for a base... More
