Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

[JoeyEmmaMomma]

Chocolate croissants? Where are these? I think I missed this post! I really would like to catch breakfast and/or lunch at Kona, but I don't think I can fit it in...

Captain Cooks has them (or did in March).

Okay so I am leaning towards booking a regular room at the poly for our next trip..we stayed in tokaleu before and LOVED it for its location and size of room…can anyone suggest longhouses similar to this location we should ask for??? are all standard rooms the same size as tokaleu's rooms used to be? I thought I remembered reading before our last trip that they were the biggest ones.

Getting ready to jump in the car in just a few hours! Calling for rain almost every day of our trip and the resort is a hot mess! Packing a sense of humor and money for booze and ponchos!! Gonna get my Disney on! Woot!!


Oh, and I'm still working on my Touring Plans. Oops! LOL!

So did you plan to meet up when you read each other's dates? Because there's a thread that's posting that very thing!

Yes there is, but I am horribly behind at the moment!! I am SO sorry and hope to get caught up by this weekend!

I believe Tokelau, pago Pago, and moorea are the longhouses with the larger size rooms and they are all now DVC-I think the remaining longhouses at the resort are all the same size (415 Sq Ft vs 465 in Tokelau)
As for best alternate location you might want to check out this website to help you decide

This really is a fabulous place to meet people! I just found out that @princessap lives 20 mins away from me!!! What are the odds of that??!! And it took the wonderful world of Disney for us to find that out! So cool!!!

Does anyone know if any of the gift shops at the Poly sell Disney ponchos?

I agree! The love of Disney is something other people don't get if you don't love it

When is your next trip planned?? Would be crazy if we were at the poly at same time!

I don't know 100% but I would guess so. When we stayed at BLT last year the gift shop at contemporary sold them. They weren't out so I didn't wasn't sure, but when I asked the CM working there she pulled a bunch from behind the counter and asked what sizes! So if you don't see them out somewhere just ask a CM.

I don't think I've found a gift shop anywhere on property, resorts or parks, that doesn't sell Disney ponchos.

If it's a bright sunny day, you might have to ask the CM working behind the counter for them as they aren't always out.
