Waterfall Inside the Polynesian Hotel at Walt Disney World in Florida, July 2004
Disney's Polynesian Resort is a Disney-owned Deluxe resort located at Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Florida that began operation on October 1, 1971. The resort has a South Pacific and Hawaiian theme. It was originally called Disney's Polynesian Village, but was changed to its current name after its expansion in 1985.
The resort originally opened with 492 rooms. The resort was designed by Welton Becket and Associates of Santa Monica, California and WED Enterprises and constructed by US Steel Realty Develpoment. The rooms were constructed fully off-site and each room weighed 8.5 tons.
In 1978, a new longhouse (Oahu) opened (later called Tokelau). and gave the resort a new total of 636 rooms. The resort's last major expansion came in 1985 which brought the room total to 855. This total than reduced to 847 (the total rooms today) when some rooms were removed to add the conceirge lounge onto the end of Hawaii longhouse. Just recently, the resort embarked upon renovations to the whole resort. This new renovations to the rooms will be complete by December 2006 with some ongoing changes going into 2007.

The Polynesian Resort is located on the southern shore of the Seven Seas Lagoon, south of the Magic Kingdom and just west of the Transportation and Ticket Center. The resort is on the Magic Kingdom monorail loop. Transportation to the Magic Kingdom is also available via boat, and all other Walt Disney World resort locations are reached via bus. There is also a lighted walkway connecting the Polynesian Resort to the Ticket and Transportation Center.
The resort has 847 guest rooms, located in a number of two and three storey buildings located on site. None of the guest room buildings, called longhouses, are physically connected, though sidewalks and paths link all of the buildings together. The Great Ceremonial House is the central nexus of the resort, and contains several restaurants, gift shops, and resort check-in. The monorail is accessed on the second floor of the Great Ceremonial House.
Guest services sells tickets to all theme parks and attractions. Theme park tickets can be integrated with your room key, along with a credit card number for charging privileges at Walt Disney World. Valet parking is available, along with self-serve parking.
The Polynesian Resort has one major restaurant, one minor restaurant, and a snack bar. The major restaurant, ’Ohana, is a popular family-oriented destination at the resort, serving a variety of open-flame grilled meats and desserts. The food is served family-style at the table, and is all-you-can-eat. ’Ohana is located on the second floor of the Great Ceremonial House. It is also the site of a "Character Breakfast", where Disney characters in costume will interact with you right at your table.
Also located on the second floor of the Great Ceremonial House is Kona Cafè, featuring lighter entrees for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Kona Cafè is well-known for its Tonga Toast, a deep-fried banana-stuffed French toast, a popular breakfast item.
On the first floor of the Great Ceremonial House, one will find Captain Cook's Snack Company, a 24-hour snack bar. As of June 2006 Captain Cook's Snack Company has been temporarily moved to the Tangaroa Terrace while its permanent location is being renovated. Expected completed is December 2006. Samoa Snacks is available on the second floor and offers simple snacks.
A musical performance called the Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show is performed nightly at the Polynesian. The food is all-you-can-eat, and is served family style. Authentic Polynesian dancing is featured, and reservations are required.
While not located at the resort itself, a number of other restaurants are located at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Disney's Contemporary Resort, which are quickly accessible via the Resort-loop monorail.
