For anyone who has their heart set on a castle view, I can highly recommend the Hawaii building (concierge) which is, I believe, the only bldg with a castle view. We splurged and stayed there on a family vacation last year. It is amazing to sit on your balcony at night and watch the castle changing colors and the fireworks! I'd recommend requesting a third floor, castle view room as we were told that the third floor had the best view. The second floor does not have balconies which is good to know is that might be important to you.
We're staying at the Polynesian next April for our vow renewal but in a garden view room. (Vow renewal itself is the splurge for us this trip!)
Does anyone have a favorite Polynesian building?
