Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort | Walt Disney World Resort
We highly recommend the Theme Park View Club Level rooms. This Club Level Lounge is another favorite of ours. The location with a view of Cinderella’s Castle in the distance and daily offerings to delight your tastebuds. A DisneyWorld favorite.

Since its opening in 1971, the resort has seen three major expansions; the first in 1978, with the addition of a longhouse, the Tangaroa Terrace restaurant/support facility, and a secondary pool. A second expansion took place in 1985, with the construction of two additional longhouses. In that same year, the resort adopted the shortened name “Disney’s Polynesian Resort”. On May 2, 2014, it was announced that the resort would revert to the Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort title while expanding further to include Disney Vacation Club accommodations as well as enhanced resort amenities. On April 1, 2015, the third expansion officially opened, including the new DVC additions and other amenities around the resort.
