5 Reasons To Spend A Full Resort Day At Disney’s Polynesian Resort

When making plans to visit Disney World, most guests think about which parks they want to visit, which attractions to experience, and what shows are must-dos for them. But did you know that your Disney resort can be just as full of experiences as the Disney parks? Spending a full resort day at a DVC resort is a great way to spend your downtime during your next Disney vacation. Whether you’re an introvert, traveling with small children, or doing an adult-only vacation, there are many satisfying ways to spend a full resort day. Here are 5 reasons to spend a full resort day at Disney’s Polynesian Resort.

1. Delicious Meals and Restaurant Options

Disney’s Polynesian Resort is home to two incredible sit-down restaurants, a quick-service dining location, a themed bar, and a few different snack stands. When spending a full day at this resort, guests certainly won’t go hungry. Ohana and Kona Cafe are two sit-down restaurants that serve a taste of the islands as well as familiar comfort foods. At Ohana, everyone is family, and guests enjoy a feast of freshly grilled and cooked meats served family-style, as well as the famous Ohana noodles and other accompaniments. Kona Cafe is known for their breakfast and brunch, with popular favorites like Tonga Toast and Loco Moco Eggs. Captain Cook’s is a laid-back quick-service restaurant where guests can enjoy Hawaiian dishes as well as American-style favorites. If you want a fun and greatly themed drinking experience then be sure to make a reservation at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto where each drink comes with a show.

2. Fun Pools and Water Play

Disney’s Polynesian Resort is home to one theme pool with a volcano waterslide, as well as other leisure pools. The Volcano Pool features zero-depth entry, a long twisting waterslide, and a nearby splash playground. The new DVC Island Tower pool area features a Moana splash zone where kids can play on Moana’s boat and be voyagers themselves.

3. Scenic Walkways and Atmosphere

One of the things that makes Disney’s Polynesian Resort so special is its scenic walkways and atmosphere. You’ll truly feel like you entered a tropical paradise with its sandy lakeside beaches and palm trees throughout. You can easily spend an hour or longer just walking around and enjoying the grounds!

4. Boat Rentals, Fishing, and Other Excursions

Disney’s Polynesian Resort offers boat rentals and fishing excursions for an additional fee, as well as fireworks cruises and other fun.

5. Rest and Recharge For Your Next Day at the Parks

Most importantly, the biggest reason to spend a full day at Disney’s Polynesian Resort is to rest and recharge for your next day at the parks. There’s truly nothing more restful than a day enjoying your DVC resort.
