Introducing Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows—located at the heart of a modern island paradise.

The History
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort has been a favorite Disney destination since 1971. Designed as an island that celebrates the spirit of the South Pacific, it was part of Walt Disney's original vision for Walt Disney World Resort.

Recently, it has embarked on one of the most exciting updates in its long and storied history. Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows is the culmination of that Resort-wide refresh—where mid-century modern design meets traditional Polynesian style in a blissful union of Disney heritage and the South Pacific spirit of aloha.

Check out the reimagined Lava Poll and the Kiki Tiki Splash Play area. Or experience firsthand the 142-foot waterslide! For a nominal fee, you can take your kids to Lilo's Playhouse for supervised games and activities—while you enjoy a date night at Trader Sam's Grog Grotto or an adult afternoon at the pool!

Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows is minutes from Magic Kingdom park via an easy water taxi or monorail ride. It is also a bus ride away from other Walt Disney World theme parks.

The bathroom includes 2 separate areas for your convenience.

Deluxe Studios sleep up to 5 guests and some offer views of Seven Seas Lagoon.

Bungalows
Boasting a private back deck, plunge pool and room for up to 8 Guests, the 2-bedroom, 2-bath overwater Bungalow is a unique addition to the Disney Vacation Club Resort accommodations.
