Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

[bcuinohio]

The Oasis pool was initally open 7 AM - 11 PM but the recent update to the Disney Experiences web pages indicate the leisure pools are open 24 hours a day. We have not had any first had reports since the change.

We just got out of the Oasis Pool. It does say that it is 24 hours online but the signs say it closes 11:00 PM. Around 11:00 most of the people left. There were a handful of people left but the CMs cleaning up did not tell us we had to leave. We left just before midnight. After the gate closed, I scanned my magic band and it flashed yellow. I could not get back in.

Boardwalk villas leisure pool said the same...7 am - 11 pm. I asked the pool CM at the leisure pool because the website said 24 Hours. The CM said they are open 24 hours, but between the hours of 11 pm and 7 am they may come around to clean or test the chemical levels and if they do you have to get out. So you're only guaranteed Uninterrupted swim between 7 and 11. But the gates are supposed to be open 24 hours a day.

Gate on Oasis Pool is locked after 11:00. At least the one by the Tokelau entrance was.

Thanks for the update @bcuinohio it will be interesting as others provide first hand updates to see how each hotel is handling quite / leisure pool access.

Maybe you could try again to see if it was just a slow update to the gate readers at the Oasis yesterday or a carefully planned and executed scheme by a rogue recreation team at the Poly.

Is the oasis pool open late? I read some where that the main pools closed at 9 but the quiet pools were open 24 hrs.

We were there last week. Our bands didn’t let us in after 11pm; there was a women cleaning the lounge chairs that opened the gate for us when she saw us trying to get in.

That would make sense since yesterday was the first time Disney Experiences web pages were updated to indicate that leisure pools would be open 24 hours.

Hmm. I’m arriving at the Poly on 9/4- I wonder what the front desk would say.

No, it’s said 24 hours for quite some time. At least on the “Known Before You Go: Resorts” page under Recreation & Activities. Not sure what the Experiences page is.

Unfortunately we checked out of Poly today and checked into BLT. We were resort hopping today. Boardwalk had a sign in lobby showing their quiet pool closing at 11:00.

Hi! I am wondering what the movies are showing for August’s Movies under the stars?

Yes, I stayed at Boardwalk 2 weekends ago and asked about the sign. They told me what I posted earlier- it is open 24 hours but they might come to clean the pool or test with chemicals between 11 pm and 7 am - and if they did you would have to get out.

Can anyone tell me if the shampoo/conditioner at the villas (studios) are the bigger ones on the wall or still the individual tube type? TIA!

I wasn’t in the studios, but we had the individual tubes in the bungalows last week.

I wasn’t in the studios, but we had the individual tubes in the bungows last week.

Thx...I wasn't sure which resorts had what. We were originally in a regular room, but got moved to the villa side.

Studios are still the individual tubes.

Studios are still the individual tubes.

Thx!

Just got back from a trip to the poly and had an amazing time! I put up a trip report on the dvc trip report boards.

 

[GoofTroop1392]

Have they put out a resort activity calendar at all? We will be staying 8/24-8/26 and have a lot of resort time check in day, I'm wondering what will be available other than the pools.

 

[Lsdolphin]

Are the fridges in the Villa studios the same as those in standard resort rooms or larger?

My husband and I are booking our 1st Stay at the Poly for Aug. 2021 (hopefully). Whichever longhouse we choose, we are booking a MK view room. We would like to be close to the GCH, and we don't want to get soaked walking from TTC . I don't like that the bus stop is not covered because the bus is the only transportation from Poly to AK which is one of our favorite parks. Help me figure out where to stay. I have been avoiding Poly because of the Longhouses vs. the lobby in my beloved AKL which I really enjoy. However, we will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and want to stay at Poly which reminds us of our honeymoon which we spend in Hawaii. I really need any suggestions. Thanks.
