Disney’s Polynesian Resort

Allure of the South Pacific

Lush tropical plants, winding paths and white sandy beaches nestled along the shores of Seven Seas Lagoon all help to create this island paradise. The Great Ceremonial House will welcome you with more than seventy five species of tropical plants, while the music of the South Seas and the lava rock waterfall all immerse your senses in the sights and sounds of the South Pacific.

 
     
  Escape to a South Seas hideaway, with tropical gardens, lavish luaus and gentle waves lapping against the sandy shores. Friendly people, fun, laughter and good cheer reflect the enchanting customs and culture of the islands. Torch-lit walkways, a cascading indoor waterfall and the soothing sound of distant drums beckon with the imagery of paradise found. Aloha.

The two and three story buildings called longhouses are scattered throughout this tropical resort like islands of the South Pacific from which they are named. The 853 luxury guest rooms continue the relaxing island atmosphere with a laid back design of wicker furnishings and canopy beds.

Disney Tip: The Polynesian Resort and it’s guests have recently been faced with a unique problem, its close proximity to the Walt Disney World Speedway. The roar of race cars circling the track has at times been in direct conflict with the tranquil nature of this resort. Rooms with a “parking lot” view have seemed to be most affected. You may want to inquire if the speedway has any planned racing or trials during your stay.

In 1999 Walt Disney World renamed the eleven longhouses at the resort. In case you would like to stay in a particular longhouse and can only remember the name from a previous stay we have list the old names and the corresponding new ones.

Old Name New Name
Hawaii Samoa
Tonga Hawaii
Bora Bora Niue
Maori Rarotonga
Oahu Tokelau
Moorea Tahiti
Pago Pago Rapa Nui
Bali Hai Tonga
Tahiti Aotearoa
Fiji Fiji
