Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

[DisneyWorldbuff]

Can anyone confirm first hand that the resort launches and the friendship boats in the Epcot area are running again? We head down on Saturday for a split stay between Wilderness and Poly. Thanks.

I'm here at the Poly now and the resort boats are up and running!

Does anyone have the June activity calendar? Guessing it has been revised

Sorry the pic is not great. Here now, all beaches are closed and movies are inside(according to info we just got a check-in). I will try to post with personal experience after this evening.

Thanks @DisneyWorldbuff! Good to hear about the resort launches. I'll be interested to hear more about the movies. I agree with the other posters that a movie inside just isn't really a magical experience. If they are inside, we will be skipping them.

Other than the beaches being closed and the new rope "fence" by the water, everything still feels happy, clean, and relaxing here at the Polynesian. (I was very wary of this trip, but so far it has been just a wonderful escape.... No "weirdness" or bad/scary vibes from any cast members or guests).

thanks!

A movie in a conference room isn't very magical LOL

Clearly, you've visited Wilderness Lodge recently.

After 8 can an adult go into the Tiki Grog room and buy cocktails but bring them out, since we have our kids? It's just me and my mom and my 1 and 5 year olds, but i know my mom and i are going to want a nightcap.

Thank you! The picture was clear enough to see on my computer. I am so excited for our arrival in less than a week. I'll let the kids know that the Poly isn't doing a campfire this time of year and maybe we'll have one over at the Boardwalk when we switch over to there.

From the Disney website: "Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto welcomes the whole family—including children—from opening until 8:00 PM. After 8:00 PM, only Guests 21 years of age or older may visit."

Kids are allowed outside on the Tiki Terrace anytime

Have a great trip!

Thank you!!!

Does anyone know if the path to the TTC is still closed?

I totally forgot about the marshmallows. I hope they open a new location for them soon, if they won't continue on the beach.

It has been open this whole weekend. We used it instead of going to the great ceremonial house because we were in Pago Pago

My kids are nuts - when you ask them what they love most about the resorts they say roasting marshmallows and pool slides! I think it is because the cast members that help with the marshmallows always end up being so pleasant and the kids have a fun time gabbing with them.

If you have an 8:20am ressie in MK on a non EMH morning, can you rely on boat or monorail transportation to get there on time, or should we walk to TTC? I'm having a hard time keeping up with the monorail schedule!

Does anyone know whether signs like the one posted at GF (pic below) have been added to:

1) Poly beaches and
2) At Poly bungalows?

We're staying at Poly for the first time in Nov (bungalow) and are curious about this.

On the Poly beach for sure.

Hello Poly Peeps,

In a magical twist of fate, we are switching our reservation from All Star Sports to the Polynesian for a 5 night stay this Aug./Sept. It will be myself, my son, and my mom. It was originally just my son and I which is why we were going to stay in a value, but now my Mom is coming and she spends a lot of time at the hotel so we chose the Poly. Last August, the 3 of us stayed at BC. We loved it, but Poly has been on my Disney bucket list and I've never seen my Mom so excited. She has been texting me about Trader Sam's and Dole Whips, and using lots of palm tree emojis, lol! We got an amazing deal through an agency exclusive offer that we just could not turn down ($238/night including taxes for a standard view).

I think I may request ground floor in Raratonga to make it easier for my Mom to get around. Does that sounds like the right idea?

Congrats on the great Poly deal! The Poly is amazing, hope you have a great trip!

Other than the beaches being closed and the new rope "fence" by the water, everything still feels happy, clean, and relaxing here at the Polynesian. (I was very wary of this trip, but so far it has been just a wonderful escape.... No "weirdness" or bad/scary vibes from any cast members or guests).

Thanks for checking in with updates. Glad you're having a nice time .

I find the lobby concierge to be very helpful when I have questions like this. You will be able to use the resort launch but you should check with the concierge for your specific date and time to be positive!

We used the launch one morning and the monorail one morning for our 8am and our 8:15am ADRs. We did leave about 7:45 and 7:30 as both CRT and BOG are a brisk walk to the middle and the back of MK and we had little people with short legs.

I don't even know of a place inside that they could set up the movies. I was told that it has been very windy so they won't set up the screen on the grass area (it has not been on the beach for months now) so maybe that is why they are not setting up the movies outside. I have someone checking on that.
