Tim was filming the flower headbands and the cast member told him Auntie Kau’i made them. It’s note worthy because Auntie Kau’i is a native of Hawaii who has worked at the Polynesian since opening day in 1971!

The "hill" with the seats is called sunset pointe and it's not what it used to be, they tore it up quite a bit when they built the bungalows. This however was the spot where fairytale weddings were held,like mine back in 2002. We still visit it when we are there but it's definitely sad to think what it was

My husband and I stayed here for a belated honeymoon in Nov. 1988. It was a dream come true for me to finally go to WDW. Amazingly beautiful resort. I miss the fountain that used to be in the middle of the lobby. We stayed here for $175 a night back then, I think its about $450 now, ouch!!! Thanks for such a great video.

Hi Tim! I was so excited to see this video! The Polynesian is my favorite hotel on property and I just stayed there in October of 2017 (Courtesy of my best friend who is a DVC member), and it was such a nice thing to cross off of my Disney Wish List! Every time I’m in Disney I like to hotel hop, and I’ve wanted to stay here for such a long time. I’m so used to staying at the All Stars and Pop Century - which I love - but I can see the appeal to the deluxe resorts! The monorail is SO nice and convenient to have RIGHT THERE when you want to head into MK or take it and transfer to Epcot. We were in the Moorea building and it was a little bit of a walk to the main entrance (Like 5-6 minutes), but walking through the resort property I felt like I was really in Hawaii or somewhere really exotic. We had breakfast at Kona Café and LOVED it. It’s highly recommended! For as many times as I’ve been there as a tourist for the afternoon and now a guest of the hotel, I (we) didn’t make it down to the beach. For anyone who wants to plan a “rest” day and not go into the parks, definitely take advantage of the pools and laying out on the beach! I also loved having the option to have Dole Whip any time we wanted, and I honestly lost count at how many we had. We had such a wonderful experience and I hope I can stay there again some day! Thanks for the tour!

Poly is one of our favourite resorts - we've been lucky to stay there a few times. If you get the Lapu, Lapu, don't forget your spork to scrape out the awesome pineappley goodness that is left behind when the booze is gone. Tangaroa Terrace was a restaurant at one time.

The Shades of Green sign is there because you can use the monorail at the Polonysian and take the walking trail to Shades of Green it's quicker than waiting for the Shades bus. We stay at Shades all the time and walk over to Polonysian all the time.

Thanks so much Tim. I understand the effort that goes into making these resort walks but they bring back so many memories and make us want to plan another trip. We have been lucky to stay in many of the resorts and we all sit around the TV to watch your tours. The Poly is very busy, we found it more enjoyable to stay at the Grand Floridian DVC building and walk along to visit. But the lobby is simply the best of any resort. Thanks again from the UK!

Great video. Last visit to Disneyworld (24 hours on a plane from New Zealand) we had a 'Hotel Day' where we visited as many hotels on the property as we could. Never made it to the Polynesian so your video was an excellent watch. The interesting highlight of the day was having lunch at the Contemporary and the power went out. We watched all the guests in the Magic Kingdom stream out of the park. Luckily our lunch had already been cooked and delivered so we just ate and watched. I did laugh (Sorry) at you trying to pronounce 'Aotearoa'. You were not too bad. It is the Te Reo Maori word for New Zealand and means 'Land of the long white cloud' It is pronounced ' Ow-tee-ah-ro-ah' as has already bee said. You can use it at the New Zealand stand at EPCOT Food and Wine. You will be a star! Maori words are pronounced very differently from English. Try these place names: Petone, Whakatane... Petone: NOT Pee-tone or Pet- One but 'Pey-toe-nee' Whakatane: NOT Wok-ah-tane but 'Fha-ka-tar-nee' Sounds rude, but it is not.

I remember my shoulders getting sunburned from being in the pool on our first full day there. It hurt so bad. Our first dance as a married couple was at the Luau. Would love to stay there again, but just can't afford it now.

Hi Tim, these are great videos. I love the fact that you go through the entire place. I think you do a MUCH better job than the Disney people in showing off their own resort. It's exactly what a regular person going there would like to see and know about the place before they get here. In addition, you show the food and the prices so everyone knows what's available. You show everyone every thing. If you do anyplace, I really think you should make the video an hour long in each case but no more than that. That would ensure a really thorough job on any venue. In these videos you do are a real service to the public who is considering these venues. THANKS.

I have a friend who's a DVC member. We stayed at the Polynesian last year and we stayed on the second floor about where you pointed at 34:30 and we could watch the fireworks. Those rooms do cost a little more than the other rooms in Moorea. And it was quicker to walk to the TTC from there then to walk all the way to the main building.
