One of the most popular resorts at Walt Disney World will make you feel like you are in the middle of the Polynesian Islands.  Get ready to escape to Disney's Polynesian Resort!  Disney's Polynesian Resort is a Disney Deluxe Resort located near Magic Kingdom.  You are so close to Magic Kingdom, that you can sit on the beach at this resort with a view of Cinderella's Castle across the Seven Seas Lagoon.  You can even watch the Wishes Fireworks from this resort.

Disney's Polynesian Resort has some of the largest rooms at Disney World with (2) Queen Beds and a Day Bed or (1) King Bed and a Day Bed.  The newly renovated rooms feature a fun Polynesian theme with flat screen TV's, ceiling fans, table/chairs, mini-refrigerator, closet with in-room safe, split vanity, and iron/ironing board.  Some of the more high tech features include a Ipod dock/clock/radio and high speed internet access.  This room features either a patio or balcony.  There are many rooms on the 2nd floor that do not have a balcony.  There is a sliding glass door that overlooks a small ledge.  The reason there are a few rooms that do not have a full balcony is due to a Polynesian superstition.  In all aspects of theming, Disney goes above and beyond to make sure the experience is authentic - including not having a balcony on the second floor due to a Polynesian superstition.  We always suggest requesting a 1st or 3rd floor at this resort.

Disney's Polynesian Resort has some spectacular resort amenities including a volcano shaped pool with waterslide, waterfalls, and even splash area for younger children.  This beach entry pool sits right next to the beach on a lake called the Seven Seas Lagoon.  You can relax in a hammock or on a chair on the beach and watch the boats go by.  After a dip in the pool, you can enjoy a snack at the poolside bar or Food Court.  If shopping is more your style, you can do some shopping in the Ceremonial House with popular shops like Wyland Gallery.  There are lots of recreational activities from boat rentals at the marina to a Pirate Adventure Cruise for the kids.  They also have a game room, Neverland Children Activity Center, and lots of planned recreational activities throughout the day.

In the evening, you have lots of dining options right at Disney's Polynesian Resort including 'Ohanas, Kona Cafe or the Polynesian Luau Dinner Show.  If you want other options, you can hop on the Disney Monorail to the nearby resorts with six other sit down restaurant options.  The evening at Disney's Polynesian is extra magical with tiki torches line the paths around the resort.  If you walk down to the beach, you can watch the nightly Electrical Water Pageant on the Seven Seas Lagoon.  This water parade is the longest running parade at Walt Disney World.  After the Electrical Water Pageant, you can then catch the Wishes Fireworks above Cinderella's Castle.

Disney's Polynesian Resort is the 2nd most expensive resort at Walt Disney World.  However, you also get some of the best customer service and resort amenities of any of the Disney Resort Hotels.  This resort ranges in price from $365-580 per night plus tax.  Be sure to contact our agents about discount prices for Disney's Polynesian Resort.  We have lots of tricks to help save you up to 40% on these rates.
