A Stay at Disney's Polynesian Resort

Escape to an authentic, 39 acre, South Seas paradise.  Your luxurious retreat begins in the Great Ceremonial House where you mosey past a waterfall cascading down a three-story garden.  The chirping of live tropical birds sets your sights on the thatched ceiling of the A-framed roof.  Hawaiian-style music soothes the airwaves as you step in rhythm on the sleek, rock-tiled floor and out the glass doors onto a winding path adorned with tiki torches and swaying palm trees.  The pleasant stroll along the sandy white shores of the Seven Seas Lagoon brings a caressing breeze that welcomes you to your South Seas Island longhouse. 

The comfortable, queen-size canopy bed invites you over for a short snooze.  But the captivating view of a distant Cinderella’s Castle from the balcony beckons you across your 410 square foot room.  While relaxing on a wicker patio chair, the engaging ambiance of swimmers splashing in the nearby pool lures you in for a refreshing dunk.  What’s that?  Do your ears deceive you?  Polynesian music is playing…underwater!  After a plunge down the volcano waterslide, your poolside fun gives way to an early evening rest on one of the gently swinging hammocks along the beach.  The sloshing waves hypnotize you into a peaceful state of mind. 

Suddenly, the mouthwatering scent of lanai chicken and island pork ribs reminds you of your dinner reservations at the Spirit of Aloha Show.  The open air theater comes alive with Polynesian drummers thumping a fast paced rhythm, hula dancers shaking their hips, and flame throwers twirling hot torches.  The entertainment continues even as you enjoy a South Seas feast of tropical appetizers, sautéed vegetables, savory meats, and bread pudding—a delicacy your taste buds won’t soon forget.

Your wondrous day ends climactically with a beachside seat to the Electrical Water Pageant, a parade of colorful, shimmering floats drifting along the Seven Seas Lagoon.  You turn in for a cozy night’s sleep beneath the revolving ceiling fan, excited about tomorrow’s festivities: catching the monorail on the 2^nd floor of the Great Ceremonial House to the Magic Kingdom.  You drift happily off to sleep wondering if it could possibly get any better than this.
