Resort Thread Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT

[Dave006]

Anyone know if cases or packages of bottled water still available at Moana Mercantile?

The cases of individual water have gone the way of the personal toiletries. Disney has been working to reduce single use plastics.

*1st time at the same resort 4 trips in a row. I love all of the options for rooms and food!

Yes I have been impressed with your commitment to a single resort. However is was / is fun to follow your many adjustments to your resort choice as the travel date nears. No pressure but make sure you check for any last minute options before you get to the Poly..

I’ll be at poly next week. 2 nights at CL in Hawaii and 2 nights Premium View Duo Studio one night,

I have done the tower twice with dh. Dd wanted to try but hard to get a good rate , oddly April was cheaper.

Any info looking for let me know. Last stay in cl was Dec and Tower April TPV and May Std deluxe studios.

I won’t lie I’m not thrilled about doing a duo but dd just gave me a beautiful granddaughter in April and wants to try the water side of the tower so here we go.

Looking forward to Pogmosas, the oasis pool, a dolewhip , waialulu, and a good view from the tower

Oh got the water view in cl with BB cheaper than resort view with AP. Ice cream for desserts? Hope it’s still there.

I really enjoyed the duo studio the other week. The sink being right next to the door was a bit weird but the shower was great. Pull down bed very comfy (I left it down the whole time once I brought it down tbh). I wish it had a kitchenette sink, was weird washing my dishes in the "bathroom" one lol. But the space is used well.

Request 6th floor for premium view though. 6th floor is the highest up they go. I got that one after they stuck me with the awful first floor one and I went back to the lobby and asked to change. 8606 is the number, it was fantastic. Fireworks view is a bit strange but the balcony is big and if you turn left you can see the castle. Not my favorite TPV but still nice. If you look straight out you see CR. But the EWP view is perfect.

Thank you. Was thinking about possibly bringing a filtered water pitcher but not sure. I like to use the electrolyte/flavor packs in the heat, so the Brita filtered water bottle won't work.

We bring a pitcher and it works very well. Fill up the insulated bottles in the morning, add the electrolyte pack, and top up from chilled bottle refill stations, or the water spout at QS beverage stations as needed.

Touring plans and picture I have show 7 floors for the Premium Studii but 6 and 7 have glass to the left so a better view,

I get cha! We had 1st floor for our TPV in April and moved the next day, way better!

This room is after 2 nights with a nearly TPV(I feel water view at Hawaii is good, I can see castle from some spot on patio). Dd just ways to see it.

The 3rd floor garden is right next to the premium duo on that floor so i did get to see that view. Good enough.

Can’t wait!

What’s the unused building at the Poly that looks like some type of event center? What’s the history because it looks almost abandoned now. It’s somewhat close to the bus stop.

Tangaroa Terrace (Buffet breakast / Dinner) was a great dining location, and Lilo’s Playhouse Disney’s Childcare (closed in 2018). The latest iteration of trying to make use of the space in this building in front of the Rarotonga DVC building by the parking area that is being turned in to a dedicated drop off loop.

Unfortunately it will be returning to a guest use area. It is going to be renovated to improve the Cast Members area, add offices and storage for housekeeping and security.

ETA: add inform that Tikiman's Facebook Page.

Tangaroa Terrace? That was a restaurant years ago but is used for CMs now. Idk what the old Lilo’s Playhouse child care center is now.
