My Favorite Disney Resort – Disney’s Polynesian

Staying Deluxe at Disney

Polynesian entrance

This monorail resort is my most favorite resort in all of Disney World!? It’s one of the two original Disney World resorts, located across Seven Sea’s Lagoon with views of Magic Kingdom.? When you step foot into the Polynesian, “Poly” for short, resort you immediately feel like you’ve left Central Florida and have been transported to a tropical island!garden statue
