Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

If I’m not mistaken, I believe that have been available. They weren’t at first after reopening, but it started back after a bit.

Yes. They had them in bags behind the check-in area at Pago Pago. You might have had to ask for them, but they definitely had them.

Ask for them? That stinks. They used to put them over your head when you walked in...

Way too close in these times. Especially now that masks are only required on transportation.

I think some people were given them - I asked because the guy at the desk was super helpful most of the time but didn’t realize I was arriving - I think he thought I was storing bags after a stay.

This is what confuses me too. How would the bus service end if the monorail won’t be running to Poly yet? I am one of the ones with a late August Poly stay but never got an email about the monorail closure.

Exactly- unless they expect us to walk over to the TTC. I arrive September 4th and have not received any emails about the lack of monorail.

@GADisneyDad14 This is awesome! So glad you put all of this together for us. So excited to be at Poly in the fall!

Hi,

We have a Standard Room (2 queens - 1 daybed) booked for 8/29 to 9/4.

I requested a 3rd floor room in Samoa on the Laval pool side facing the Grand Floridian. Per Tikiman's page this is considered a "Standard Room".

Is Samoa a Standard Room longhouse. Just want to make sure my request is legit.

Samoa is no longer standard. It used to be a few years ago but then all rooms got reclassified.

BTW, there is still a section of old pavers for a decent chunk of the path. I assume they will be replacing this at some point, but TBD of course.

Bet ours is still there then if my bearings are accurate--our brick was behind the entrance to the Luau seating area, toward the middle of the walkway in the area from your position to the first light. When we last viewed it, the brick was well worn from sand, but we did finally find it.

Thank you. What longhouses should I be looking at for requests? Would like to get something w/ a balcony and definitely an upper floor.

Might have missed it above, but what view category do you have booked?

 

[POOH&PIGLET]

Looking forward to our first stay ever at Poly in August.
Where are the refillable mug stations?

Captain Cooks I seem to recall.

Are they allowing you to fill your own drink now, or are they taking them and filling them for you (as they were doing in May)?

Apologies. I was there the week before closure in March last year but not since....

My reservation says "Polynesian Village Resort"
Room Type: Standard View

It my first time staying at this resort. We've done Yacht Club and Wilderness Lodge in the past; hence why I am clueless about the Poly. They had "Standard" rooms at those two resorts that had lagoon/pool views I was able to get w/ a request.

It looks like Kona Island is showing hours for when the resort opens. Any word on is Oasis pool bar will start having food, too?

Spikey Pineapple, aka Dole Whip with rum, is food you can get from there.
Man these were good.

Thank you. What longhouses should I be looking at for requests? Would like to get something w/ a balcony and definitely an upper floor.

Rooms with standard views are in Rarotonga, Aotearoa, Fiji, and Niue. I believe that's all of them. I prefer Rarotonga the most, but they all have nice views. Fiji has standard views looking towards the Grand Floridian. I think the other side of the building is pool/marina view. Niue is right beside Samoa, but is only two floors. The bottom floor has a patio and the second floor does not have balconies. If you want a balcony and an upper floor, I would not put in a request for Niue although I do like the location of this longhouse. The other three longhouses only have balconies on the third floors. I always request Rarotonga, third floor. Hope that helps!

 

[DJJimmy9]

They are called the Oasis patios- you call the same number you would call to reserve cabanas at the Grand Floridian but these are just a reserved seating area. I believe there are 3 of them and I paid roughly 75 to reserve one for late august.

Thank You!!!!

Wasn't there also one by the oasis pool bar? I never used it though so not sure.
