"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."

DK Eyewitness "For a more “back to nature” experience, campsites and cabins are scattered throughout a heavily wooded area."

Frommer's "This 780-acre wooded enclave near Magic Kingdom consists of campsites, mobile home–style cabins with decks and grills that sleep six, and RV spots." Full review
