Our favorite Disney resort by far. They never disappoint. We have stayed here many times and our most recent visit was last week. We checked in and had a little Pixie dust upgrade on our room! It was a great surprise and just made the experience that much better. The staff is great, the food options are excellent and the location is unbeatable. There nothing better like the smell of the lobby on check in day! We absolutely love it here. Thank you, staff, for always making everything enjoyable.

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is a stunning, tropical escape right in the heart of Walt Disney World. From the moment you arrive, the lush landscaping, welcoming atmosphere, and island-inspired décor make you feel like you're on vacation even before you hit the parks. The location is unbeatable, with quick monorail access to Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, and watching the fireworks from the beach is truly magical.
Our room was spacious, clean, and well-themed, with thoughtful Disney touches that didn’t feel overdone. Resort activities were a big plus—we loved the evening dance party and outdoor movie night, both perfect for winding down after a long day.
The one area that fell short was the dining experience. During peak dinner hours, the self-order and pickup system at Capt. Cook’s felt like the Hunger Games. It was chaotic, our food was grabbed by other guests, and our order actually went missing one night. With no room service available, it added stress when we were already tired and just needed an easy meal. For such a high-end resort, we expected a more organized and relaxing dining option.
Still, the overall vibe, the beautiful setting, the convenience, and the fun family activities made this a really special place to stay. With just a bit more structure around quick-service dining and more dining options in general, this would be a solid five-star experience. We’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it—just plan ahead for meals!

The view from the room is from Moorea room 2037. Totally awesome view from room. Fireworks are slightly obstructed by palm trees but pretty good. No view of electric boat parade at all. It's a very long walk from the lobby, pool and restaurants so get ready. Walls are super thin and you hear the horn from the boats all of the time. I rented a DVC room and this was my first experience doing so. Seamless easy experience. Room has a second bathroom that is a shower only. A second toilet would have been amazing instead of a second shower. Hotel and grounds are beautiful.
Cast members are very polite. Very long waits at Captain Cooks and seating is very difficult so bring your patience. Main pool has a fun slide. Obviously expensive because the name starts with Disney. Had a great time but it's only practical once in a while due to the cost.

We went here for an anniversary trip and loved it! Had a room with a lake view on the third floor. We stayed here for a week and the staff was very nice and helpful. The resort is very clean and well maintained. The food offerings at the quick service is very unique from others. Rooms are very nice and can accommodate up to 5 people. Would highly recommend this resort!

Beautiful resort! Just disappointed that we got a king and a sofa bed... we tried to switch to 2 queens but we would have been in a building that was really far (we wanted to be close to lobby area) . After you book there are check in requests ... in the drop down in has applicable buildings for room booked, floor level and king bed... I don't know why "queen beds or 2 beds" are not in one of the options. So really hoping they can change that. In any case we had a great visit despite Monorail being closed and ferry stopped due to weather. We live close so don't need a hotel, but this was a really nice treat! Despite issues we will be back
