Hi Dorothy!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I can completely understand why you are excited to enjoy another vacation at
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. The convenience of direct monorail transportation to both Epcot - via the Transportation & Ticket Center - and Magic Kingdom Park just cannot be overstated. This is such a special Walt Disney World Resort and we just love it!
Given the options that you mentioned, I would request placement in Samoa. This smaller longhouse is not only close to the action at The Great Ceremonial House but also just a few steps from both incredible swimming pools at this beautiful Resort hotel. Though you will find yourself walking a bit more to reach the walking path to the Transportation & Ticket Center,
i think you will hardly notice it.
Come back and visit us with any other questions, Dorothy! We love to help!
Wishing you many magical memories,
Sally
