Once you’ve had enough of the peace and quiet of your solo vacation you can sit down for a lively meal at Ohana restaurant. Located in the main lobby building, Ohana is a fun dining experience that offers character breakfasts with Lilo and Stitch, and a fun Hawaiian family-style meal for dinner. At Ohana, everyone is family and you will feel at-home and surrounded by companionship during your time at the restaurant.

If you are feeling lonely at all during your solo vacation then Trader Sam’s will have you feeling comfortable again very quickly!

Reconnect With Your Inner-Child With Pools and Other Activities

One of the biggest reasons people love traveling to Disney is that it allows them to reconnect with their inner-child, and Disney’s Polynesian Resort is home to several activities that will have you feeling like a kid again! There are two pools at this resort, one of which features a thrilling Volcano waterslide. The main pool offers a variety of poolside fun and games throughout the day, and a nearby lounge serves food and drinks that include the famous Dole Whip.

Other activities that the Polynesian Resort offers guests are motorized boat rentals and guided fishing excursions. There are volleyball courts onsite as well.

Perhaps one of the most unique offerings of Disney’s Polynesian Resort is that it has a great view of the Electrical Water Pageant. This light-up parade on the water runs nightly and is a longstanding Disney tradition. Only resorts that are surrounding Bay Lake’s shores get a view of this twinkling tradition so be sure to take advantage of the viewing areas!

Monorail Transportation and Convenient Park Access

While you can easily spend an entire day at the Polynesian Resort without leaving, we know that the best part of staying DVC is visiting the Disney parks. Nothing is better for solo travelers than convenient transportation and with the Polynesian being on the monorail line you’ll never have to worry about how you are getting to Magic Kingdom or EPCOT. Disney’s Polynesian Resort also runs a water taxi that takes you to Magic Kingdom as well!
