We’ve been counting down the days until Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort officially reopens.
In the meantime, we’ve been checking out all the other reopenings at the resort, including Oasis Bar and Grill, ‘Ohana (for breakfast AND dinner), and Kona Island (did someone say candied bacon?). But we’ve been impatiently waiting for a chance to check out the new Moana-themed rooms at the hotel.
And today is the day! We’re spending the night in one of the new rooms at the Polynesian, and we can’t wait to show you around.
The fun new Moana details actually start before you even get inside the room!
There are new patterns in the hallways on the carpet…
…the artwork…
…and all around! We even spotted a few hidden characters.
We were able to enter our room using the My Disney Experience app. If you’re logged into the app and your reservation is linked, you can use it to unlock your door when it’s time to check-in. What a handy feature!
And once we stepped inside, we were NOT disappointed.
What a BIG transformation this is! New furniture, new artwork, and a theme that we’re quickly falling in love with — we think we’re going to really enjoy our visit here. There are lots of different textures, patterns, and details. Some of which you kind of have to hunt for, so let’s get started!
Let’s start with the bed. Here, we’ve got some brand-new bedding with patterns and textures to fit the Polynesian look.
Disney really thinks of all the details!
The pillows fit right in as well and add a nice pop of color. We could totally see ourselves walking in here after a long day and just plopping on this bed.
The nightstands have plenty of outlets, light controls, and the middle table is home to the phone and some important hotel room information.
And we can’t forget about the lighting! We love the pattern it has going on. Just look at those little waves.
Moving on to the main seating area of the room, we’ve got this super colorful couch!
It even has Moana-themed pillows!
With the coordinating side table and the massive accent wall, this is the perfect spot for an Insta-worthy photo op.
And speaking of the accent wall, it has some really cool details of its own. Scenes and patterns from the film…
…fan-favorite characters…
…and even a hidden Mickey. (A Disney resort room wouldn’t be complete without one!)
There’s also a seating area for one on the opposite wall.
How interesting are these accent tables?
Disney really went deep in the details with the patterns and textures here. The touches are evident in the furniture…
…the artwork…
…and even the curtains.
The bathroom is just as spectacular. Here, you’ll find an updated shower with its own hidden details.
Don’t use up all the hot water while you’re admiring the handiwork!
The sink area has also been fixed up. There are double sinks, so two people can get ready at once.
You’ll find ample storage, both under the sink…
…and in the room with the toilet and shower.
This is definitely one of the nicer resort room bathrooms we’ve seen!
Back in the main living area, you’ll be glad to know that the room has a coffee maker. (And Hei Hei is standing by to say hello!)
There’s also a closet to store all your hanging clothes. It’s fairly large for a hotel room!
And a mini-fridge will help keep your snacks and beverages cold throughout your stay.
And last but not least, the room comes with a lovely balcony area. Depending on which floor you’re on, it may be a patio.
Our room had a great view!
So far, we’re very impressed with these accommodations. The colors are vibrant and make us feel like we have stepped into a beachy getaway. We’ll make sure to keep you updated as we stay the night and let you know of anything else that’s important about this room.
And that’s what the new Moana rooms look like at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. As always, stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney news! Disney is moving forward with adding intellectual properties to more Disney World hotels. For example, The Contemporary is receiving an Incredibles theme and Citricos at Disney’s Grand Floridian has a new Mary Poppins theme. What do you think of these changes? Are you for or against them? Let us know where you stand on the hot debate!
