6. Flower Lei Welcome

First step off the Disney Magical Express bus you know this resort experience is something special. We were greeted with a happy “Aloha” and a tropical flower lei. The polynesian flair is everywhere! From the waterfalls at the entrance to the tropical clad Cast Members.

5. The Amazing Kona Cafe

How lucky are resort guests to have the Kona Cafe only steps away? Many Disney guests travel over to the Polynesian Village Resort just to dine here. Try out the banana stuffed Tonga Toast for breakfast or check out the yummy sushi bar for dinner. You must make a reservation and try it at least once during the stay. I was very impressed with the food and atmosphere.

4. Take the Monorail or Boat

The location of the resort is amazingly convenient to Magic Kingdom. The benefit of taking the monorail or a quick boat ride is worth the extra money. Spend less time on the bus and more time at your destination! This location makes it possible to bring young children back to the hotel for a nap or rest too.

3. The Castle View

The resort offers a view of Cinderella Castle like no other. The pool, club lounge, and many guest rooms have a great view. The water and lush tropical gardens make for a pleasing sight too! Nothing more relaxing after a long day in the park. I especially love the added benefits to the club level upgrade. In the club lounge you will enjoy complimentary wine and snacks while watching the fireworks over the castle. Take it one step further and book the new over water Bungalows at the Polynesian. Each one offers unobstructed views of the Lagoon and Cinderella Castle. Your own private plunge pool, back deck, and full kitchen makes for an exclusive stay.

2. ‘Ohana Character Dining

One of my favorite Character Dining experiences is ‘Ohana. You will dine with Mickey, Pluto, Lilo & Stitch in a family style fashion. The food is great and I love that you aren’t fighting it out at the buffet. Servers bring the food straight to the table so you can enjoy the characters. Characters only join in on breakfast so make sure to make your reservation early.

1. Dole Whip by the Pool

The first of two resorts (Pop Century is the second!) to serve a Dole Whip is the Polynesian Village Resort! For the Dole Whip fans this is a big perk. The expanded Lava pool pairs nicely with a cold dole treat. The Pineapple Lanai serves up Dole Whip’s until 11:00PM. This makes a perfect nighttime snack while watching the fireworks.
