What we loved:
On the monorail, the beaches and views, relaxing atmosphere

What we didn't love:
Dimly lit rooms, no hot tub (but barely noticed that!)

The Polynesian is a great hotel! While it can be pricey, it is worth it when you zoom on the monorail to Magic Kingdom, walk over to the TTC to catch the Epcot monorail, and have your own relaxing view of the fireworks at Magic Kingdom. This hotel really has you relaxed when you come back during the day between parks and is just gorgeous at night! My husband and I enjoy sitting on the beach watching the pageant and the firworks while the kids can play in the sand. We also love the restaurants here. And the tropical drinks, whether at the pool or enjoying the lounge in the evening, are scrumptous and scream 'vacation'! I love staying at all the Disney hotels but this one has that extra special touch that my family enjoys. My children enjoy this hotel but honestly, what child doesn't enjoy any of the Disney hotels?? The bonus for the parents at this hotel though is that you are on the monorail line and that really helps when you have younger children (babies to young school age children). The younger children especially enjoy the magic of the monorail and it is one of the easiest forms of travel when you have strollers, want a closer drop off point, and very little wait times compared to the buses. This resort really made an impression on us! Aloha! Read More

What we loved:
Every inch of the resort

What we didn't love:
that we couldnt stay longer

Me and my husband stayed there for our honeymoon in July of 2008. We loved every little bit of it. So much that I redid our room to make it seem like we're still there. Our room at the resort was on the 3rd floor directly across from the castle. I absolutely loved all of the exotic flowers and waterfalls and streams. The beach was perfect at night, and day. All of the staff were EXTREMELY nice. The little speed boats were soooo much fun. I loved that we could get so many places without too much effort. We're going back for our 5 year anniversary and we hope we can request the same room. There wasnt a better seat for the fireworks. Read More

What we loved:
Great spot for the evening fireworks at the Magic Kingdom !

What we didn't love:
Really we enjoyed everything at this hotel - food, rooms, location & staff

We really enjoyed staying at this hotel - we still enjoy visiting it too (we now stay at Shades of Green following the renovation) daily during our vacations whenever we head over to the Magic Kingdom or catch the Monorail for other locations. Rooms are quite nice and the theme stays true all the way through (nice touch!). Food is just wonderful - at all times of the day too! Enjoy the quiet and relaxing walk to and from all manners of things -whether heading to the Parks or the Pool- when staying at this hotel. And of course the evening fireworks are just wonderful to watch and listen to from about any direction facing the Magic Kingdom.Read More
