Disney's Polynesian Village Resort Overview | Walt Disney World Resort

Updated: Aug 25, 2023

Hey there, sweethearts! It's Meg from Hercules, and I've got a tale to tell you about a place that even Hercules would trade his sandals to visit. So, lean in and let me spill the ambrosia on this little slice of paradise.


First off, darling, let's get one thing straight: this isn't just any resort. We're talking about *Disney's Polynesian Village Resort*. Picture this: nestled on the shores of the Seven Seas Lagoon, this place is like a love letter to the South Pacific. Think Island-inspired architecture that'll make you swoon, beaches with sand so white it could rival Zeus's beard, palm trees swaying like they're dancing to a siren's song, and pathways lit by torches that meander like the tales of old.


Now, the heart of this tropical dream? The Great Ceremonial House. It's not just a fancy name, honey. This place is grander than Mount Olympus itself. It's where you'll find the resort's lobby, some to-die-for dining spots, shopping locations that even Aphrodite would adore, and, of course, the grand entrances and exits of gods and mortals alike. And if you're itching to hop over to the Magic Kingdom park or Epcot, the Disney Monorail station's got you covered. But if you're more of a water nymph, there's a marina water taxi that sails across the lagoon straight to Magic Kingdom park. And for those who prefer to travel in style, air-conditioned motor coaches are ready to whisk you away to wherever your heart desires. Oh, and speaking of style, there's this adorable minivan service that's just dripping with whimsy.


Now, let's talk sleeping arrangements. The accommodations here? Pure ambrosia. Whether you're a lone muse or traveling with a troupe, there's a room for you. Some even have views of the Magic Kingdom park that are so magical, even Hades would crack a smile. And the decor? Inspired by the vast Pacific Ocean and its enchanting islands. And if you squint just right, you might even spot some familiar faces from Moana. Remember her? Strong, independent, totally my kind of gal.


For those who like to live large (and who doesn't?), there are luxurious suites that can fit a small army. And if you're looking for a home away from Olympus, the Deluxe Studios come with a private porch or balcony, a mini kitchen, and room for a party of five. But the crown jewel? The two-bedroom bungalows. These babies are right on the shore of the Seven Seas Lagoon, offering views that'll make even Hera jealous. They've got private decks, plunge pools, and all the modern conveniences a deity could ask for.


But, sweetie, let's not forget about the food. From breakfast with Lilo and Stitch at 'Ohana to skewers grilled to perfection in the evening, your taste buds are in for a treat. And if you're in the mood for something a bit more casual, Kona Cafe and Captain Cook's have got you covered. And for a treat as sweet as Eros's arrows? Pineapple Lanai's Frozen Dole Whip is legendary. And for those nights when you want to let your hair down, Trader Sam's Grotto has drinks that'll make Dionysus raise an eyebrow. Just a heads up, ordering a drink might just lead to some unexpected fun.


And if you're looking to make a splash, there are two pools that are just divine. Whether you want to slide down from the heavens or just dip your toes in, there's something for everyone.


So, whether you're looking to watch the sunset on Cinderella Castle or from it, this resort is where dreams come true. It's a place where the spirit of the South Pacific meets Disney magic. And trust me, darling, it's a combination that's simply to die for.


So, from the bottom of my sassy heart, mahalo for joining me on this little journey. Until next time, keep dreaming and keep believing.
