Polynesian was the worst Deluxe we have stayed in and the only one we haven’t stayed in is Riviera. It was the absolute worst experience in all areas except O’Hana for breakfast. Everything else was horrible. Favorites are Beach Club, Grand Floridian, and AKL.

[@TheParkProdigy]

Sorry to hear your experience!

[@ScottJR7302]

Am I missing something here? I really don’t understand the obsession with the Polynesian. When I stayed there I found the theming a bit tacky, staff were a bit hit and miss, dining options are lacking compared to other deluxe resorts, where ohana eating is treated like is a sport with how fast they are trying to get you through your meal. The long houses felt remote, and not apart of the main resort, I did not feel that at the grand for example. Theme park rooms in some of the buildings are now partially blocked by the bungalow’s. Don’t get me wrong, it is not a bad resort by any means, but I really don’t understand why lots of people rate it number one lol.

[@TheParkProdigy]

We enjoy it but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You can't go wrong with any of the Disney resorts!

[@peejay22]

Sorry, but hands down, Yacht Club is my all time favorite. Ive stayed there twice. I love everything about it. Ive stayed at Beach Club also. Location alone should rate both of these much higher.

[@TheParkProdigy]

I do love both of them as well and appreciate you checking out our video!!

[@johnnyhan3170]

I really don’t understand why everyone’s rating poly so high. I’m not the only one. Unless the “Hawaiian” thing is the must for you, stay away from this hotel. None of the aspect about this hotel is exceptional. In comparison, crescent lake hotels are much better in terms of service.

[@TheParkProdigy]

We really love the amenities and the theming!

[@santonucci]

How anyone says AKL is not #1 always baffles me? The lobby is a hands down #1. The grounds are #1. They have giraffes. Zebras. c'mon man!

[@TheParkProdigy]

I don't disagree that all of these things aren't amazing!! I just enjoy some other resorts more lol

[@santonucci]

@@TheParkProdigy My Rankings: 1 AKL (Jambo) 2 WL (it's my first love, boat to MK) 3 GF (lobby vibe when bands/piano played) 4 BC/YC (that pool... or much lower) 5 Boardwalk (Entertainment... water taxis) 6 Poly (no lobby vibe) 7 Contemp (hotel in a train station LOL) 8 Saratoga (great room, like offsite)

[@cynbalog]

Hated the Poly. One and done for us. Grand Floridian was ok. Animal Kingdom wasn't a fave. Loved Beach Club and Wilderness Lodge.

[@TheParkProdigy]

Sorry for your experience!

[@DennisOBrien1]

FYI old Key West also has dole whip and seasonally it’s key lime dole whip!

[@TheParkProdigy]

Love this, thanks so much for sharing the tip!

[@mbk907]

Beach club at #8 is blasphemy!

[@mbk907]

Stormalong bay should be enough on its own to put it higher than boardwalk. Anyone can go to the boardwalk, but only guests at Beach or Yacht club can do the stormalong bay

[@TheParkProdigy]

It's 100% a great point!!

[@TiaLeee]

never seen anyone rank the riviera or beache club so low!

[@mcdecarolis]

Just leaving out Old Key West?

[@TheParkProdigy]

So Key West is always tricky because technically it's part of DVC! I do love the room options at the resort though and have stayed many times!

[@DennisOBrien1]

Riviera is just DVC too. But all have a few rooms available for cash
