"The warm glow of tiki torches welcome you to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, where the landscape overflows with lush tropical plants and hidden lagoons that recall the South Pacific. This was one of Disney World’s first hotels to open, in 1971, and it has hung on to its campy tiki vibes ever since. Best to put on a flower lei, grab a pineapple Dole Whip, and lean into it." - Valerie Marino
"Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort offers monorail transportation to Epcot and Magic Kingdom, minimizing the number of times you'll have to wait for a bus. Guests at this resort enjoy perks like early park entry and extended evening hours for Deluxe Resort guests." - Mary Helen Law

The Polynesian is home to one of Disney World’s most-talked-about breakfast dishes—after Mickey waffles, that is. Tonga Toast is two pieces of thick-sliced sourdough stuffed with banana, then deep fried and rolled in cinnamon sugar. You can get it at Captain Cook’s, the resort’s quick-service dining spot, but order from Kona Cafe and it arrives with strawberry compote to drizzle on top" - Valerie Marino
