At Disney's Polynesian Resort you can escape to your own South Seas hideaway, with tropical gardens, lavish luaus, and gentle waves lapping against sandy shores. Gentle people, laughter and good cheer capture the enchanting customs and culture of the islands. Torch-lit walkways, a cascading indoor waterfall, and the soothing sound of distant drums beckon with imagery of paradise found.

Enter a distant land: the lush, tropical South Pacific — complete with white-sand beach, thatched roofs, swaying palms, koi ponds, volcanic rocks and more than 75 species of indigenous vegetation. Relish the unimaginable splendor of Polynesia as you settle into a warm welcoming world that celebrates "Ho'Onanea," the passing of time in languid tranquility.

Located on the monorail system and within walking distance of the Ticket and Transportation Center, the Polynesian is the most convenient of the Disney resorts with direct access to both the Magic Kingdom® Park and Epcot®. Eleven "longhouses" are scattered throughout the luxuriant grounds. More than 75 species of dense vegetation have been thriving here for years, and the result is delightfully overwhelming. Meandering pathways lined with volcanic rock are torch-lit in the evenings, and soft Hawaiian melodies set the mood for memorable nights. Three white-sand beaches dotted with hammocks and lounge chairs are a spectacular place to sun or, in the evening, view the Magic Kingdom® Park fireworks.

The 853 rooms of Disney's Polynesian Resort are located in the eleven two and three story A-frame longhouses that have exotic names such as Tonga, Aotearoa, Fiji, Tuvalu, Hawaii, Samoa, Niue, Rarotonga, Tokelau, Tahiti, and Rapa Nui

Check-In is at 3PM and Check-out is at 11AM. If arriving earlier than 3PM, you may go ahead and "check-in". A room will be assigned, and you will be given a Key (card) with a phone number to call after 3PM to get your room number.You can leave your luggage with the Bell Service, they will store it until your room is ready. And your free to go ahead and start enjoying the Parks.
