"The crowded, 853-room Polynesian remains one of Disney's most popular Deluxe-category resorts for families." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Lush tropical gardens and waterfalls, a white sand beach, and a lagoon swimming pool with a steaming volcano and torch-lit walkways create the illusion of an island paradise."
Travel + Leisure "Commanding an enviable position on the Seven Seas Lagoon, and a short boat ride from the Magic Kingdom’s front gates, the South Seas–inflected Polynesian is a circa-1971 Disney original." Full review
Fodor's "You may not think you're in Fiji, but families with kids can have fun pretending in this South Pacific-themed resort directly across the lagoon from the Magic Kingdom." Full review
Gayot "An impressive rainforest setting and exotica ambience---even to discerning Tikiphiles."
The Telegraph8.0
"Facilities and amenities that make its South Seas style even more appealing, from the Tiki God in the lobby to the grand bungalows built over Seven Seas Lagoon." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The Polynesian has been around since 1971; its great location and fun atmosphere never get old, even as newer choices crop up around it." Full review
Time Out "Want to see what $2,000 a night will get you at a Disney property? Set your search to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort—specifically, the private, eight-person, over-the-water Bungalow...." Full review
Frommer's "The longhouse-style thatched-roof complex remains one of the most transporting of the Disney resorts...a notch above for families as the monorail is steps away and rooms are on the big side" Full review
Lonely Planet "With faux-bamboo decor, a jungle motif in the lobby, and coconut-shell cups and shell necklaces in the store, you just may think you're in the South Pacific." Full review

Frommer's "An artistic Bohemian-inspired ambience... accented with dramatic flowing curtains, trendy mismatched furnishings, and an eclectic collection of avant-garde artwork." Full review
Concierge "This waterfront charmer with just 115 rooms—practically a B&B by Orlando's bloated standards—is a successful evocation of the Old Florida vibe."
Travel + Leisure "Formerly the Celebration Hotel." Full review
Rough Guide "Celebration’s only hotel is a predictably upmarket and classy place, with elegant rooms overlooking the town’s picturesque lake. $199."
Fodor's "Like everything in the Disney-created town of Celebration, this boutique hotel in the middle of the charming village borrows from the best of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries." Full review
Gayot "An elegant plantation setting complete with Southern hospitality captures the simplicity and serenity of early 1900s Florida."
Time Out "The Bohemian Celebration is ideal for intimate, kid-free vacations thanks to its mere 115 guest rooms and suites." Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"For something beyond the impersonality of a large resort and the chaos of bars, nightly entertainment and programmed children’s activities, stay at Celebration Hotel." Full review
