Beautiful Polynesian theming is a hit with families
Boat and monorail transportation to Magic Kingdom® Park
Prime location, with views of the Magic Kingdom® Park fireworks nightly
Private bungalows on the water sleep up to 8; deluxe studios sleep up to 5
Terrific on-site dining, including the very popular Kona Grill and Disney's Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show
On-site character breakfast with Lilo, Stitch and friends at 'Ohana
Brand-new Trader Sam's Grog Grotto offers tropical drinks and an interactive atmosphere
One of the best-themed pools on property, recently renovated to add a fabulous water play area for tadpoles and hot tubs for adults

Keep in Mind

Notable Facts

Underwent recent renovation on the Great Ceremonial House lobby and Lave Pool, and to add deluxe studios and the over-the-water Bora Bora bungalows
Each of the bungalows is 1,650 square feet, and includes 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, private deck and private plunge pool
Each of the longhouses are named for Polynesian islands
John Lennon signed papers to officially break up the Beatles at the Polynesian on Dec. 29, 1974

Frog Family Tips

Take the boat to Magic Kingdom® Park — it's often faster than the monorail, especially during less busy times
Try the Tonga Toast at Kona Cafe — it's banana-stuffed sourdough French toast rolled in cinnamon sugar and served with a strawberry compote
For a friendly and fun night away from the kids, head over to Trader Sam's Grog Grotto; most drinks are big enough for sharing!
Get your Dole Whip fix outside of the park at Pineapple Lanai
Select the Tokelau longhouse for the best all-around access to pools, dining and lobby
If you want to be closest to Transportation and Ticket Center, select Moorea (water views are deluxe studios)

Best For

Families, especially larger families with longer stays, who love the relaxed, island vibe, being close to Magic Kingdom® Park and Epcot®, plenty of dining options and amenities, and don't mind paying for the convenience

FastPass+ allows you to pre-book up to three ride or attraction reservations per day.

The Frog Family absolutely loves staying on-site not just for the fun themes and Disney atmosphere of the hotels, but also for the convenient amenities. Some of the other complimentary benefits include:

Free MagicBands - You will have MagicBands shipped to your home (within the U.S.) or provided upon arrival. MagicBands are used as hotel keys and allow you to touch-and-go while entering the parks (Valid Theme Park admission required), using FastPass+ or PhotoPass locations, and making purchases.
Convenient Proximity - You can easily go back to your hotel from the parks if you need a break or want to relax at the pool. It's just as easy to head back to the parks after relaxing at your hotel for a couple of hours.
Free Airport Service - With Disney's Magical Express® Transportation, the convenient motorcoach service transports you between Orlando International Airport and your Official Walt Disney World® Hotel.
