Apr 11, 2026Not a deluxe resort experience
Our recent stay has been very disappointing. Our room was not ready until almost 5:00pm on check in day. When we went to the front desk we were barely greeted and I had to ask for a flower necklace for my daughter at check in. Bell service was terrible. We waited close to an hour and a half to have one item brought to our room. I had to call twice this completely messed up our evening plans and reservations. When we called bell service on check out date we asked for a cart since we had many items and our locker to transfer to a different hotel. Bell service came to our room without the requested cart and let us know they would have to make two trips now, once again causing our plans to be delayed. The room is dated and smelled like a sewer. The smell was so bad I had to buy a candle and constantly open the slider door. The same smell was also outside near where they were doing construction to the building which was also pretty loud. I would not recommend staying here, it is very dated and dirty. Customer service was also lacking.

Apr 05, 2026The #1 Disney World Resort Choice
The Polynesian is Disney’s absolute best resort! Everything from the scent of the islands you smell immediately as you walk in to the Dole Whips available whenever you want. The rooms were decorated very nicely with tropical decor and Polynesian elements. Unfortunately, it was a little hard to sleep due to sound coming from outside the room with people walking in the Fiji building. Monorail access was highly convenient and made for quick transportation. Ohana is good, and the overall atmosphere of the resort is incredible. The pools were nice and the activities offered were fun as well.

Apr 04, 2026Our stuff was “lost” and never found
Staying at a Disney Resort I expect top notch service from start to finish. We had all of that until the very end. In the rush of checking out with our three year old toddler, we left her two bedtime books in the room. We immediately realized after arriving at our air bnb that same evening after checking out, and my husband called and they said lost and found items go to the cleaning service main house and are dispatched two to three days. We filed the claim. Waited and waited. We were in Orlando another week and nothing. They later emailed and said they couldn’t find the “lost” item. We are disappointed that our item was “lost”. We are talking about two books for CHILDREN. It is not about the value of the books of course but about the misplacement and customer service we received for a place made for CHILDREN. Bummer

Apr 04, 2026LOUD ASS BOAT HORN!
LOUD ASS BOAT HORN! ⭐☆☆☆☆ There is some fairy boat or something that runs through this resort and blasts its horn constantly. It will keep you up at night and wake you up in the morning. Nobody warns you about that when you book. Paid way too much money to get zero sleep because of a random boat horn going off all hours of the day and night. And speaking of paying too much everything here is a rip off. The rooms are decent but nothing special, definitely not worth what they charge. You’re basically paying for the name and the location. The food prices are outrageous for what you actually get, and the resort itself just doesn’t hold up to the premium price tag they slap on it. Walked around expecting to feel like I was somewhere special and mostly just felt like I was being nickel and dimed at every turn. If you’re set on staying on Disney property there are way better options for the money. Save yourself the headache and skip this one.

Dated and Zero Sound-Proofing Between Rooms
We are staying here for 8 nights. One more night remaining on our trip and we are all eager to check out! Actually considered checking out early and moving to a different hotel, but we prepaid for the stay and would not get a refund. It started out fine. The hotel is dated, but it is clean and the service has been very good. The location is excellent. Our issue is that the hotel was built before they developed much better ways to sound-proof hotel walls and windows. And this hotel desperately needs that sound-proofing. We noticed the increased noise right from the start, but it didn’t become an issue until some new guests moved in next to us. The young children yell and scream and cry so much and the parents scream at them to stop crying! We have been kept awake well past midnight for the last three nights and we are EXHAUSTED! I have never been this tired on a Disney trip before. It would not be so terrible if there was some sound-proofing. But you can even hear everything people are saying when they talk normally in the room next door. The screaming is piercing! We would never stay here again. Or any Disney Resort that is older. Back to Animal Kingdom, a much newer resort where the rooms are quiet! For the extremely high cost we are paying, we expect a better experience.
