UPDATED OCTOBER 2023. Here at Get Away Today we love exploring all Walt Disney World has to offer. From four headlining theme parks, two incredible water parks, an entertainment district and more than 25 Walt Disney World Resort hotels, we have done it all!

Today, we’re taking a closer look at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Please note, Disney has shared the following update: “As we prepare for the proposed expansion at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, you will see and hear construction at certain times of day. To minimize disruptions during your stay, activities that may create noise will not start earlier than 9:00 AM.”

Walt Disney World groups their onsite hotels into four categories:

• Deluxe Villa
• Deluxe Resort
• Moderate Resort
• Value Resort

This is one of Walt Disney World’s deluxe properties, which means you can expect unique theming and experiences unlike anything else. While deluxe Resort hotels do have a higher price tag, they usually come with amenities that warrant the higher number.

For a stay this exquisite we recommend staying at least 5 nights, with 4-day 1 Park per Day tickets. This will give you time to not only enjoy your resort amenities but also allows you to experience one day at each of the main theme parks. If you have less time, we recommend considering a Park Hopper ticket so you can still experience all four parks.

We also recommend the Water Park and Sports Option add-on to visit the nearby Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon during your stay at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
