Poly villa vs poly village

[Mskay1216]

So now that we narrowed our stay to the poly what is the difference between the two from what I see the villa has the kitchenette which is nice
It's also a little cheaper which is surprising

Besides the kitchenette and price are there any other differences?

Villa’s only have one queen bed and a sleeper sofa. They also have the pull down mini bed under the tv. There is a split bathroom with one having a tub/shower combo, sink and toilet and the other having a shower and a sink.

If you prefer two real beds, go with the hotel room. If two real beds aren't a concern for you, go with the studio.

How many are in your party? For just 2 adults I would go with a Studio Villa. It is nice to have the 1 bed and the sofa to sit on.
For more than 2 I would go for the regular room (I have never heard of "Poly Village" before. Where did you get that term?). I would want the 2 Queen beds and daybed.

Disney's Polynesian Village Resort (I'll call the "Resort Side" for simplicity)

• Choice of Standard View, Lagoon, View, Theme Park View, Pool/Marina View, and Club Level
• These rooms are older (2013ish vintage)
• Standard hotel room, most rooms are 2 queens and a couch/day bed
• If looking at a map or aerial, the Resort Side rooms are more on the center/left side of the resort and are closer to the Grand Ceremonial House (the main lobby building)
• Longhouses include Aotearoa, Fiji, Tuvalu, Tonga (Club Level), Raratonga, Niue, Samoa, & Hawaii (Club Level) (note, different longhouses have a mix of different view category rooms)
• Resort longhouses have first floor patios, third floor balconies, and no outdoor space for second floor rooms

Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows (I'll call the "DVC Side" for simplicity)

• Choice of Standard View or Lake View
• These rooms are newer and were totally re-done with the DVC conversion a few years ago
• The DVC Side longhouses are more on the right side of the resort, closest to the TTC (which can be convenient for trips to Epcot)
• The DVC longhouses are not as central to the Grand Ceremonial House or Lava Pool, but we're not talking major distances here
• Longhouses include Tokelau, Moorea, & Pago Pago
• Unlike the Resort Side, all DVC Side longhouses have balconies on the second floor (in addition to first floor patios and third floor patios)

Hope that helps!

We stayed in the villa and absolutely loved it. We have two adults, a 14 year old and a 9 year old and it worked perfectly. Very spacious room, and the two showers were such a huge bonus. My 14 year old slept on the pull-out sofa, and she said it was super comfy. The villas are about 50 square feet more than the standard Poly rooms.

If you are just two people, then either would be fine. If more than that, then I think they (villas) are definitely too tight, I would stay at the resort. All of the extras at the villas--kitchenette, extra bath--have taken up a lot of living\storage space in my opinion. No matter what you decide, you'll be at the POLY and that's definitely a good thing!

We just got back from a week in a studio room in the villas. We had three adults and two kids. The sofa bed was actually pretty comfy. Loved having two showers!! The chairs on the patio (which 2nd and 3rd floors have!) were very comfy. We were in Moorea, the farthest longhouse form the GCH and it was about a 3 min walk there and a 5 min walk to TTC monorail platform. Never used the microwave, but the full size coffee pot was great. One thing I did not like was that the room does not have a lot of storage for your clothes.
