Must dos at poly

[patm95]

My husband and I stayed there the first time October 2025. It was just us that trip. We were going to the MNSSHP and liked to just jump on monorail and be at MK. We are heading to DW in March with our daughter and will be at Poly again bc she really wants to stay there. All in all it was nice and a change from our home resort. What I didn't care for and not a deal breaker for me were the crowds. It's a popular resort and many come for Ohana (especially Ohana), Kona Cafe and Trader Sams. Monorail crawl is popular so that adds to the amount of people.

The crowds is what I’m most afraid of. Thanks!

Friday night-Sunday (plus holidays) tend to be the busiest at the Polynesian. Weekends draw some locals, plus many checkin/checkout on the weekends making the lobby busier.

The nice part about the Polynesian is there are many quieter places. Even the quiet pool near the DVC longhouses can be a lot of fun. They have good food there and soda stations.
