A South Seas paradise on the shores of Seven Seas Lagoon — one of Walt Disney World's original resort hotels.

Deluxe
Magic Kingdom Area
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort opened alongside Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971, making it one of the two original Walt Disney World resort hotels.
The Polynesian is beloved for its relaxed, immersive atmosphere — the kind of place where guests feel on vacation the moment they step through the lobby doors. The resort's Oasis Pool features a waterslide and volcano theming, while the quieter Lava Pool offers a more serene alternative.
Kona Café and 'Ohana are two of the most popular dining destinations on all of Walt Disney World property. 'Ohana's family-style dinner with character appearances books out weeks in advance, and the Trader Sam's Grog Grotto tiki bar is a beloved after-hours gathering spot for Disney enthusiasts.
