Disney's Polynesian Village Resort (formerly Disney's Polynesian Resort from 1985 to 2014) is a Disney-owned and operated resort located at the Walt Disney World Resort. It began operation on October 1, 1971 as one of Walt Disney World Resort's first two on-site hotels. The resort has a South Seas theme, and originally opened with 492 rooms. It was designed by Welton Becket and Associates and constructed by US Steel Realty Development. The resort is owned and operated by Disney Parks, Experiences and Products.

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. However, on May 10, 2024, Disney Vacation Club announced new details about a new name, Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows, which will be open in December 2024 at Walt Disney World Resort.

On September 17, 2013 Disney Vacation Club announced that its next planned location would be at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. The first phase of DVC expansion to the resort opened April 1, 2015, adding 20 over-the-water 'Bora Bora' Bungalows and converting 2 existing buildings (Moorea (formerly Tahiti), Pago Pago (formerly Rapa Nui)) into Deluxe Studios. The Tokelau conversion was completed mid-2015 creating a total of 360 Deluxe Studios between the 3 buildings. Between the three DVC longhouses is a barbecue area for the use of resort guests, with two gas barbecues. In addition there will be 5 new rooms added between the Moorea, Tokelau and Pago Pago vacation club buildings.

On our only vacation there, when our children were about Hannah’s age, we stayed at the Caribbean Beach & then splurged, for the last few days, & stayed at the Polynesian. It was a special experience. Many special things to enjoy there, the view out over the water being one of the best for me. And that Luau Dinner Show is an enduring memory!

Nice room. And a great view for standard. It's not a parking lot, haha! It reminds me of Animal Kingdom Lodge, but tropical instead of African.

Very nice room! I know they like to have a tub/shower combo in the family suites for the kiddos.. but, Hannah’s shower was the bomb!😂👍🏻

Another video of this room class didn't have a separate freezer on the mini fridge. Is this a newer change?

I love the Poly but we have never stayed there. Spent plenty of time there though.

How long is the walk from that building to the TTC;s Epcot monorail?

And no dresser in a room for 5 people. Those bathroom drawers are no way big enough.
