T+L's Hotel Review of Disney's Polynesian Village Resort

"A nostalgically styled resort that serves as a love letter to the South Pacific, featuring dark-wood longhouses named after islands, a Great Ceremonial House lobby with lava-rock flooring, vegetation, a lei-clad tiki statue, and second-floor balcony views for people-watching. Valued for its proximity to the Magic Kingdom and Seven Seas Lagoon (water-taxi and monorail access), the property blends multigenerational memories with recent renovations, attentive cast-member service, multiple pools and dining options, accessible rooms and paths, and premium offerings such as overwater bungalows." - Jacqui Gifford Jacqui Gifford As the editor-in-chief of Travel + Leisure, Jacqui Gifford is always on the next plane.
