Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

[Dug720]

Can you still walk to the GF (and MK beyond) or has the tower construction cut that option off?

Can you still walk to the GF (and MK beyond) or has the tower construction cut that option off?

You could as of last week. I hope the construction doesn't block off the walking path moving forward.

The walkway is finished!!!!
But why are the construction hiding planters there??

Oasis pool patios (cabanas) are booked and paid for ahead of time on the phone... and I was told the volcano pool cabana is booked day-of by visiting the front desk

Can we call the front desk to make the reservation, or do they need photo ID to make it?

That's what I'm wondering as well. Also, what time on the day of can it actually be reserved? Starting at midnight? 6 or 7 am? And, as there is only one, does it go really fast?

Thanks in advance to anyone with insight!

Sorry - I’m not sure… I was told of it when on the phone to book the Oasis Patios

Hi all! We just switched our August 2023 trip to the Poly and we are so excited!

Garden view club level 8/21-8/27!

It’s my ultimate bucket list resort so I may or may not be tearing up at finally doing it but…

 

[maui2k5]

Does the Polynesian offer daily mousekeeping at any level such as club? Or still just every other day?

This isn't published anywhere but CL (at Poly and other resorts) has been receiving daily normal mousekeeping since CL reopened. Non-CL is every other day light service (YMMV if that includes actual making of beds or not).

Hope that helps!

I’m not sure if this has been reported but we had an Oasis patio booked today and they had a cooler with sodas and water as well as a basket of snacks. Nice addition to the patio rental. 🏝

Do you happen to know if this trend continues?

 

[PPFlight75]

Do you happen to know if this trend continues?

I’m not sure. It was the first time this has happened at the oasis patios for us but I’m not sure when it started. I did happen both of our patio days but those were our last days.
Do you have a reservation yet? If not you could ask when you call. Hopefully they would know. I hope it continues though!

I do have a reservation... I'll find out in 33 days!

Staying at the Poly in under 3 weeks! This is a big splurge, both because I'm celebrating the same birthday as Disneyworld and because my husband is coming and he's not a Disney person. Some questions:

1) Can I have alcohol in my grocery delivery?
2) We can use the pool on check-in day, correct? Will our Magic Bands work to access it? There are towels there?
3) My parents are driving from another part of FL and will be meeting us on our check out day for bunch. If they tell the gate they are meeting us, even though it will be our check out day, will that work? I'd like them to park, then ride the Monorail over to the Contemporary for our brunch at Chef Mickeys. They are older, so won't be able to show anything on their phones. If they need to show something, I'd need to print it for them. Are they ok just giving our name?

I'm very excited! Thank you for this thread!

Latest look at land clearing for the new DVC tower at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort​

All that remains of Luau Cove is a few dumpsters and a small part of the structure that likely contains essential utility components.

 

[quoo]

Oh. For sone reason I thought all hotel side was back to normal mousekeeoing - it was DVC that was every other day service. Sounds like this is not the case? I wonder if I can manage to switch to club level a month and a half out…

 

[quoo]

Sigh. Apparently club level is full:/ I guess I'm stuck hoping for a return to better service. It's ridiculous paying so much a night w/ no housekeeping.

1) Yes
2) You can use the pool on check-in day and there are towels there. Your magic band should work, but if it doesn't someone at the front desk can assist.
3) Crap shoot here. Since they aren't dining at the Polynesian the guards could deny them parking at the Poly. Officially you must be staying at the resort or have a dining reservation at the resort to park there (including check out day). But, it is hit or miss. Worst case scenario they can park at the Contemporary and meet you there.

Anyone know if it's only Lilo and Stitch? I can't remember prior to covid if there were any other characters?

Mickey was there previously. And Pluto was stationed just outside the restaurant with a photopass photographer as well.
