Disney's Polynesian Resort Trivia

---

• When the Polynesian Resort opened, they had installed a wave machine on the seven seas lagoon. Severe beach erosion occurred, so it was quickly turned off, but the machine was never removed and is still installed under the water.
• The Polynesian Resort's long houses are named after real South Pacific islands, and after one fictional island, Bali Hai.

Disney's Polynesian Resort Hidden Mickeys

---

• Just inside the main lobby on the lower level of the Polynesian is a Hidden Mickey in the flagstone tiles, directly in front of the benches.
• Going down the staircase on the elevator side, 2nd level - there is a framed picture of cut bamboo ends. There are three tubes in the middle...and only three, forming a perfect Hidden Mickey. All of the rest are meaningless.
• A Hidden Mickey is on the tapestries that hang on the ceilings over the beds. The tapestres are made up of different designs, on the top left corner there are three circles that made a Hidden Mickey.

My most memorable night's sleep was in the bed I slept in at the Polynesian. The mattress was awesome, the sheets were so "cold" and the curtains kept the bright sunlight out. We slept everyday until at least 9. Unfortunately that cut back on time we could have used to see the parks. We never even made it to the Animal Kingdom as the kids (10 & 16) wanted to stay at the hotel and swim in the pool. The atmosphere there is so relaxing and I felt safe. We let the kids swim all night at the pool while we dined upstairs and enjoyed the prime rib at the Kona Cafe. The availability of food is unbelievable. We had the meal plan and it was definitely worth it. We still ended up bringing home snacks as we didn't eat them all while we were there. The maids were great too, they never bothered us; we told them 2 different days that we didn't want service and they insisted on taking our towels and trash. Our section of the hotel was very quiet, we had a nice beach view and we were on the first floor so we could walk outside anytime we wanted. The A/C was excellent especially since it was SO humid and hot outside. The accessibility to the parks was great too. The monorail was right there whenever you wanted to go out. The scenery was beautiful - everything was blooming and so green! We will go back!!!

Let me first start out by saying that I had gone to Disney World many times with my family when I was a kid/teen and we usually stayed at the Contemporary. My aunt would usually stay at the Poly and at that time I hated going there...it was weird and boring to me. I stayed at the Poly on my honeymoon and absolutely loved it! First of all the scenery is amazing. You've got the Hawaiian feel with the white sandy beaches, the trees, the Luau (Spirit of ALoha I think is the name). There are double hammocks to lay in, two pools for swimming, a cool slide, lots of activities like speed boats, funky looking bikes (I don't know what they're called), and others. It's so quiet and peaceful there. Inside the main building you have a couple of fantastic restaurants, a couple of gift shops, and more beautiful scenery. The staff at the front desk was very courteous and professional and, despite having several people in front of us at check in, the line moved very fast! The food was fantastic in the two restaurants that were there (Captain Cooks was being renovated when we were there in Oct 06). I would definitely recommend Kona Cafe. Even more so,I recommend you make reservations to go to the Spirit of Aloha dinner show...it was amazing! And guys, be sure to dance with you loved one! The only bad thing that happened to us while we were there was that part of the drop ceiling collapsed because the air conditioner was leaking on it. They promptly moved us to Concierge in the Hawaii building (which was awesome!) and we didn't have any problems. I would definitely recommend the Poly to couples/families who want a romantic atmosphere with great scenery and easy access to the monorail, buses or a short walk (5 minutes) to the TTC.

I have always wanted to stay at the Poly and we just returned from a 5 day stay. It was okay but not terrific. I'll start with the pluses. Valet parking and bell services were great and deserve an A+. Quick and efficient. Monorail to MK and Epcot was convenient. The lit torches along the walkway were very nice and viewing the water electric parade was cute, too. We had a nice view of the water from our patio. Negatives...we were in the building that starts with the letter "A" near luau cove and from what we can tell this building must be the hub for housekeeping carts for the entire complex. Lots of carts and lots of people standing around but rooms not getting cleaned till late in the day. I have never stayed in a WDW resort where the hallways were cluttered with carts, food trays, mattresses, etc. By dinner time the hall was clear. Our room was not well cleaned when we checked in complete with a used/wet washcloth hanging from the shower rod. The new decor is attractive. Loved having a refrigerator in the room but it was turned off when we checked in which created an odor when opened. The AC and ceiling fan were also not turned on when we checked in which was a real surprise considering the 90+ degree weather. We had drinks one night after returning from the parks in the lounge and found it to be not particularly clean either along with sticky glasses. Overall, I'm glad we tried it but it just wasn't the same standards we are used to when we stay at AKL, etc.

Polynesian Transportation

The Polynesian resort is the winner in the "Best in Transportation" category. Not only is it located on the Monorail just one stop away from the Magic Kingdom, but it is only a short walk away from the Transportation and Ticket Center. (TTC). From the TTC you can board the Epcot Monorail. There is also bus transportation from the Polynesian to Disney's MGM Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom. No other resort has this convenience.
