Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Vacation Package and Disney World Tickets
Many consider Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort the best hotel at Disney World. Here’s why.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is all about location, location, location. This Disney World Deluxe Resort is on the monorail to Magic Kingdom, and you can walk to the Epcot monorail line, which is a very nice perk. The Polynesian is four hotels in one: the original mid-century modern hotel and two Disney Vacation Club sections called Island Tower, the Villas at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and the Bungalows.
Dining, shopping, hotel check in, and the monorail are all located in the The Great Ceremonial House, the main building within the resort.
Its nearly 500 guest rooms are located inside several, 3-story outer buildings called longhouses. The furthest is an 8-minute walk from The Great Ceremonial House.
Exterior pathways lead to the different buildings. Hotel rooms are accessed through interior hallways.
