Deciding whether to stay at the Polynesian Resort and play on the lake all day or to visit one of the Walt Disney World amusement parks is a terrible position to be in. Do yourself a favor and plan to stay an extra day and just play on the water! The marina at the Polynesian Resort has a fleet of both motorized and non-motorized watercraft for rent.

I’ve always loved this resort. The image of this massive, concrete A-frame building with a monorail going through the middle of it was the epitome of modern when I was a kid.

Extreme Makeover: Disney Style

The Contemporary and Polynesian resorts recently underwent a guest room makeover to make these Disney resorts more inviting for guests.

Both the Contemporary and Polynesian resorts were the first efforts of blending the fantasy vacation with not only the theme parks but the hotels … Continue reading →
