Travel Pro Tip

​Enjoy live music at Trader Sam's Tiki Terrace and then make your way to the Tambu Lounge and be sure to order the "secret kitchen dessert"-it's not on the menu and simply delicious!

Rating: 5 Stars

Disney's Polynesian Resort never disappoints. We fell in love with this resort at our first stay in 2015 and stay here whenever we can.  The recent refurbishments have maintained the original character from it's 1971 opening as one of the first Disney resorts.  The moment you step on to the property with a lei greeting, you are transformed to the islands. From character dining at O'Hana to pineapple drinks at Trader Sam's this resort can be thoroughly enjoyed by all ages!

​What can be better than beautiful grounds, fresh room décor, one of a kind views, tasty food and drink--watching the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the beach and ending the night with the Electrical Water Pageant simply cannot be replicated! There's something about catching your first glimpse of the castle from across the Seven Seas Lagoon that says, "Aloha"!
