Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

[ninafeliz]

Does anyone know what the cost is? I'd like to add this to my "to do" list for our September Poly trip!!

Pretty sure it's $40 adult and $20 children. Going from memory, someone will correct me soon if I'm wrong...

Yep, $40. Here's a screen shot of the in room dining description.

When does the standard room/water view room changeover take place for booking? I went on disney's site this morning to book a standard room for April and they are all out. Do you think they will add the new room types and there will be rooms available? We really wanted to stay there again!

No one really knows at this point. The screenshot Tikiman posted was a screenshot of the 2017 rate pamphlet that had been updated to include that new view category, so presumably sometime this year...but hard to say?

Can you use the meal plan for it?

Can you use the meal plan for it?

You can, but it is 2TS credits per person. Since a TS credit is typically worth $35+, this is not considered a good value on the Dining Plan.

Follow up question then.... if you have an AP can you get a discount on it like you would if you go to Ohana ?

I do not believe there is ever discounts on room service.

Thanks... am thinking about getting an AP and don't know all the perks. Thanks for all the info.

Avidly following this thread- my husband and I have visited the Poly but never stayed there, and our first stay (as DVC members too!) is in 39 days!

Super excited to see you can order 'Ohana as room service-sounds like a perfect cozy night in!

For those of you asking about the Twilight Feast, it will easily feed 2-3 people! Huge portions, we absolutely love it!! Really good food!!

 

[little_orange_bird]

@Gus V. , not to sound like a doofus, but are you saying one order of the Twilight Feast is enough for two people? I'm really excited about this!

Well folks..........a WDW bucket list item is going to come off the list! Yes we've booked a vacation at the Poly!! We've got 4 nights set for August 2018.........yeah it will take time to save up/pay for this one......but we feel its worth it. My wife and I have visited the Poly numerous times but this will be our first stay. Looking forward to the larger standard rooms......fireworks watching from the beach........and the BIG ONE......staying at a MONORAIL RESORT!!!

We've decided to add the Disney Dining plan for this trip also. We tried it once and IMHO we didn't do it properly, first off we did the Deluxe plan which is entirely to much food. Secondly we left snack credits on the table (no pun intended). This time we got the regular plan and my wife is all over the snacks issue Our hope is by covering much of the dining cost up front (prior to the trip) they'll be less financial stress during the trip.

So all you Poly vets........what else should we be looking forward to at YOUR favorite resort
