The Polynesian at Walt Disney World is a deluxe class resort in the Magic Kingdom area. The Polynesian (or “Poly”, as frequent visitors refer to it), was one of the first resorts to be built at Disney World.

The close proximity to the Magic Kingdom makes it a very popular hotel choice for Walt Disney World guests. The Polynesian hosts a theme of the South Pacific islands, from the lush vegetation in the grand lobby to the intimate details found in the resort rooms. As you enter the main building in the Polynesian complex, you will be in the two-story lobby, also known as the Great Ceremonial House. In addition to the front desk area, here you will also find shops, restaurants, and a lounge.

This moderate class hotel located in the Epcot area has over 2000 rooms spread over a sprawling 200 acres. When you arrive at the resort complex your first stop will be at the Custom House, the hotel’s lobby area - here you can check in, buy theme park tickets, make dinner reservations or visit the front desk for any hotel issues.

The rooms are section off into “villages”, each named for a Caribbean location. At check in you will be told your rooms location. If you are driving to the resort you can then move your vehicle to a parking area located right outside your room area. If you arrived without your own car you will be taken to your room location by a cast member - the check-in area in not within easy walking distance of most hotel rooms.
