Exclusive Bungalows: The resort offers over-the-water Bungalows, providing a truly luxurious and private retreat with stunning views, plunge pools, and direct lagoon access, making it a highly sought-after accommodation option.
Convenient Monorail Access: Situated on the monorail loop, guests enjoy easy access to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot, enhancing convenience and maximizing time spent in the parks.

Cons of Polynesian

Limited Room Types: Disney’s Polynesian Villas and Bungalows offer only 360 Studios and 20 Bungalows, which means there are no 1-bedroom or 3-bedroom options available. This limited variety of room types may limit flexibility for guests with specific accommodation preferences or larger parties.
High Point Cost for Bungalows: While the Bungalows are an enticing and unique accommodation option, they typically require a higher number of points for reservations compared to other room types. This can make them less accessible for members with limited point allocations or seeking more affordable options.
Risk of Future Point Changes: The point allocation for different room types can be subject to future adjustments based on demand and resort availability. There is a possibility that the point values for Bungalows and other room types could change over time, potentially affecting the overall cost and value of stays for members.
