after 50 states in 50 days Our recent stay at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we stepped into the Great Ceremonial House, we felt completely transported to the islands. The Surprise of a Lifetime The absolute highlight of our trip was the incredible upgrade to a Bora Bora Bungalow. Staying right over the water with a private plunge pool and a front-row seat to the Magic Kingdom fireworks was a dream come true. It made our vacation feel truly exclusive and magical. Exceptional Service & Dining World-Class Service: The staff (or "Cast Members") provided some of the best service we’ve ever experienced. Everyone was incredibly warm, welcoming, and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. Amazing Food: The dining options are top-notch. From the feast at 'Ohana to the quick and delicious treats at Captain Cook's, we never had a bad meal. The tropical flavors are fresh and authentic! The Little Extras Beyond the room and the food, it’s the small details that make this resort so special: Transportation: Being able to hop on the Monorail or take a boat to the parks makes travel so easy and fun. Atmosphere: The evening torch-lighting ceremonies and the music playing throughout the grounds create such a relaxing, immersive environment. The Beach: Relaxing on the white sand while watching the Electrical Water Pageant was the perfect way to end our nights. Read less

Resort Hop to the Polynesian Resort

We are fans of resort hopping to Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. Take a mid-day break from Magic Kingdom and ride the Monorail to the Polynesian. Or drop by the Polynesian as part of a no-park day. Our favorite way to experience the Polynesian - and any Disney park or resort - is snacking, Disney style. Without splurging on a hotel stay and pricey table service restaurants (Kona Café, 'Ohana and Wailulu Bar & Grill), we can soak up the kitschy tiki vibes of the Polynesian and satisfy our Disney food cravings. Drop by the Polynesian at any time of the day. Start the morning with iconic Tonga Toast ($10.99) at Capt Cook (quick service eatery). Too early? Then come later for tropical drinks and bites at the infamous Trader Sam's Grog Grotto & Tiki Terrace (the interactive and immersive Grog Grotto is now open to families 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and adults only afterwards). Not into tiki culture? Skip the 'Ohana buffet ($67 adult + $44 child) and enjoy the Happy Hour menu at Tambu Lounge. Savor buffet favorites such as the Chicken Wings ($15) and 'Ohana Bread Pudding without the buffet price tag. Finally, we like to end the day watching the Magic Kingdom fireworks show from the beach near Wailulu Bar & Grill with a Dole Whip Float ($6.79) from the Pineapple Lanai. New to Disney? * You do not need to be a hotel guest or park guest to ride the Monorail, visit a Disney resort or dine at a Disney restaurant. * Easy Trip to the Polynesian: Magic Kingdom and the Polynesian are on the Monorail loop. Simply exit Magic Kingdom and take a short walk to the Monorail station - take the Resort Monorail that will drop you off at the Polynesian. Make sure you are on the Resort line - do not get on the express line that only stops at the Ticket and Transportation Center (tram to parking lot). Ask Cast Members for help and directions if needed. * Resort Hop to the Other Monorail Resorts: The Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and The Contemporary Resort are also on the Monorail loop. Read less

Not the Happiest place on earth anymore

Not worth the time or money anymore. I have been here more times than I can count with everything from full family reunions to just a couples get away and I can say this will probably be my last trip.

Not worth the time or money anymore. I have been here more times than I can count with everything from full family reunions to just a couples get away and I can say this will probably be my last trip. I We haven’t even been here 4 hours and I’m already rethinking all my decisions to come here. From not get the room we requested multiple times, to rude boat drivers and cast members how don’t want to work or even know which button to hit for a magic band charge. More to follow but over 5,000 into a 5 day trip and it’s not looking good. No longer the happiest place on earth nor the happiest cast member. Read less

Extra special experience w great views of the castle and fireworks and super convenient

My daughter (15) and I just wrapped up an extra-special stay at Disney’s Polynesian, it really is such a beautiful and convenient property. One cast member in particular, Landry from Iowa, made our stay even more memorable. She was incredibly kind, helpful, and patient. Many of the cast members at Disney are part of the college program, working while also taking classes to gain real-world experience. It’s worth remembering how hard they work to make our stays magical while they’re learning and growing at the same time. Programs like this make Disney feel even more special. Our room was spotless — housekeeping did a wonderful job — and it was just steps from the lobby, the pools, and the sandy waterfront. Having an amazing view of the fireworks from our room was an added bonus! The food on property was fun and themed, and very good. Next time I might skip ‘Ohana and just order some of the same dishes at the other restaurants. Overall, it was such a special stay. Thank you to Disney — and a very special thank you to cast member Landry! Read less

Worst Food Experience Ever

Feb 26, 2026 Magilla G

Worst food service I've ever experienced. We stayed for 5 nights and the view of fireworks is great, pool / hot tub is nice, the little hang out spots in the Towers are cool, etc., but the food is HORRIBLE. We had a meal plan so often ordered breakfast or dinner from Captain Cook and they never once got the order right. Once we ordered a mac and… Read more

Worst food service I've ever experienced. We stayed for 5 nights and the view of fireworks is great, pool / hot tub is nice, the little hang out spots in the Towers are cool, etc., but the food is HORRIBLE. We had a meal plan so often ordered breakfast or dinner from Captain Cook and they never once got the order right. Once we ordered a mac and cheese for one of my kids, but they forgot it. Once we ordered a chocolate croissant for one kid, they forgot. Once we ordered dinner and after 45 minutes of the app still saying "preparing your order" I came in and found it sitting on the shelf cold and then two hours later while in my room I got a notice that it was ready for pick up. Once I ordered Hawaiian pizza for my daughter, they gave us pepperoni. Over and over again ridiculously simple mistakes on what is already not great food. Super annoying. There is only one option for "snacks" or "quick meals" on site, so we were stuck with the worst restaurant on the planet. We also paid a lot of money for a reusable cup, but the soda machines were always out of sugar drinks and often out of other drinks. My kids were excited about unlimited Fanta options, but they were NEVER able to get a Fanta because the machines were always out of syrup and only offering the diet options (until those were out two and you could only get water from the fancy machines). Our other complaint was with the bedding - they only offer a super thin blanket (a sheet and thicker sheet) for each bed. My younger daughter was literally crying asking why she couldn't have a blanket. We had to set the AC up super warm to keep the kids from crying, but then the adults couldn't really sleep and woke up sweaty every morning. Read less
