Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

[Turksmom]

Well, Poly was my concession to my daughters who wanted to go to Hawaii (not a possibility for us this year) and I rearranged our schedule to be at the resort for those events as they were the only "must do" things on my 10 y.o.'s list (she packed a special outfit!). I realize schedules change and sometimes these things can't be helped, but it's a huge disappointment to find out only days away from arrival. I was unaware that there is only one hula instructor, but I do hope her health isn't the reason for the change.

Update- Had a wonderful time at Poly. Torch lighting and hula lessons were available Tues through Sat. Auntie played the ukulele and Brian gave the hula lesson. My daughter was the only one there the day we went, so she had a private lesson. i am so grateful to Brian and Auntie for taking their time and making her feel so special. Neither of us will ever forget it!

We were married at the WP in August of 2008! Enjoy every minute of your day, ours was absolutely amazing, and i’m sure they’ve only gotten better over the years!

Congratulations on your upcoming 10th anniversary!

Question about transportation to the parks from Poly. Obviously MK and Epcot we can take the monorail (or boat to MK). For DHS and AK, we will take busses. Is it also possible to take a bus from the TTC? I am trying to figure out the best options for early rope drop days at DHS and AK, somreally wondering how early the busses start running from Poly and/or TTC (I know uber/lyft/Minnievan is also an option).

Buses start rolling every day at 6:30AM. I don't know about buses from the TTC to the parks. But can't imagine a advantage to walking there instead of hopping on at Poly.

There aren't park buses at the TTC. It did used to be more of a legit "transportation center" many years ago, but since the bulk of the MK bus plaza was built they phased out bus service at the TTC. These days there are park-to-park at the MK bus plaza, but not TTC.

I was just going to post this very thing.

If we wanted to take the Minnie Van to rope drop for HS, does the vehicle drop you off near where the buses would be unloading?

The HS bus area is sort of a construction cluster right now and I'm not sure exactly where Minnie Vans are dropping off/picking up at this very moment, but has typically been in the same general area as the buses. In the past it has been at one of the unused bus stops.

Hi everyone! This is a long shot, but does anyone know the dimensions of the floor space in the smaller bathroom of poly studios? I know it will fit a pack and play, but could it fit a toddler bed sized inflatable mattress?

We are at Poly June 28-July 3, we move to Yacht club for the 4th, we are going to Epcot on the 4th so it seemed easier.

Does anyone know what time the boat starts running in the morning to MK? We're doing EMM on 7/29 and I'm trying to figure out how we're going to get there.

Curious about the same thing but for 11/18!

Be sure to take full advantage of Stormalong Bay while you are there!

I dont have dimensions, but the pack n play fit almost exactly, with an inch or two on either side. Hope that helps a little at least!

Thank you - that's very helpful!

I have the same question, but for 8/19.

I've asked this exact question. I haven't gotten measurements yet but I think most are saying it won't.

Boats start an hour before park opening, not 100% on Poly, but this was the case for Wilderness Lodge. So you would have to take the Monorail.

That sounds like so much fun! Is there a schedule for the hula lessons? My kids really want to try!! Thanks, happy you had a great time!

Not to be too pedantic, but is that an hour before regular park opening, or if there are EMH the boat will run an hour before that? Thanks
