The Polynesian concierge has much to offer. It is also a great thing to do to add to the experience of the Polynesian, especially for special occasions. One thing that will help with letting them know about special occasions or any room requests you may have is to either call or fax the Polynesian before you go or you may receive an Personal Vacation Itinerary form the Polynesian.Personal Vacation Itineraries are mailed out to the concierge level guests and guests with packages that receive itinerary planning. If you are one of these types of guests you still may not get one only because the Polynesian can only mail one to you if they have your address. Some reservations are made with out the address or phone number of the guests being given to the Polynesian. Reservations done by many wholesalers and sometimes Walt Disney Travel Company do not give out this information so that the confirmation slips can be mailed to them directly. Other times the travel agents computer does not interface well with the Polynesian's data base. These may be the reason you never receive a call or a Personal Vacation Itinerary. If you are a concierge guest you can -mail the Polynesian at
wdw.polynesian.island.planning.office@disney.com (DO NOT E-MAIL THIS ADDRESS IF YOU ARE NOT STAYING IN THE CONCIERGE LEVEL ROOM! Your information will not get to the correct system if you do). Concierge guests can also call 407-824-2466 opt.3. All guests can call the Polynesian at 407-824-2000. Dinner reservations can be made ahead of time by calling 407-WDW-DINE.
You can go with a suite (located in Tonga longhouse) which are larger rooms that sleep 4 to 6 adults with plenty of room, or you can do a standard room with concierge sevice.

Your room will have robes, phone in the bath area, data port on phone line, coffee maker (upon request) minibar (small empty refrigerator) and nightly turndown service.
