Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

One of only three resorts found on the Disney monorail line, the 25-acre Polynesian is home to extensive recreational areas, including a stretch of beach along a lagoon dotted with hammocks and palm trees, a volcano-themed swimming pool, and watercraft rentals. An on-site child-care facility makes it a good choice for those traveling with kids. Its landscaped and torch-lit walkways, along with its longhouse-style thatched-roof buildings, give the resort a South Pacific ambience. Rooms underwent extensive renovations a couple of years ago and include space-conscious furnishings, a muted earth-toned color scheme, and upscale amenities such as flatscreen TVs and refrigerators. Rooms can accommodate up to five people; some rooms have patios, others have balconies. Many rooms have views of the grounds or Seven Seas Lagoon; some lagoon-view rooms offer great views of Cinderella Castle (at a higher price, of course), so request your desired view when making your reservation.
