"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.

"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
