Hi, Kathryn! Thanks for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
It is difficult for me to choose my favorite Walt Disney World Resort Hotel because they are all so amazing. However, if I had to pick my favorite, I think I would have to go with
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. I love the tropical atmosphere, and Disney's Polynesian Village Resort is home to some of my favorite restaurants and lounges such as
'Ohana and
Trader Sam's Grog Grotto. Plus, when I stay at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, I can stop by
Pineapple Lanai for a Dole Whip any time I'm craving one (which is all the time)!
Prior to your arrival at your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel, you are welcome to make requests regarding the location of your room. You may make certain room requests during the
Online Resort Check-In process. I also find that it is helpful to call the
Resort Reservations Line to speak directly to a Cast Member and discuss any room requests that you might have. While Cast Members cannot guarantee that they will be able to accommodate your requests, they will certainly try their best.
I hope you and your 'ohana enjoy your stay at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. Aloha!
Samantha
