Aloha Filothei and welcome to planDisney!
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort is one of my favorite
Disney Resort hotels and one of the main reasons is because of the merchandise in the gift shops! They always have something that catches my eye, or my daughter's eye, that we have to come home with.
We visited the Polynesian last month for a delicious dinner at
'Ohana and, of course, checked out the gift shops. We found lots of Duffy and friends merchandise in
BouTiki, the gift shop on the main level of The Great Ceremonial House. Most of it was Duffy and his turtle friend, ‘Olu Mel, but there was quite a wide assortment of merchandise to choose from. I do remember seeing a few ShellieMae things as well. Off the top of my head, there were coffee mugs, shirts, plush toys, pins, ornaments, keychains, phone cases, water bottles and other assorted goodies. Duffy and friends merchandise has had a section in that gift shop for years, so I'm hopeful you will still be able to find some great things for your visit this year.
While you're visiting this beautiful resort, check out 'Ohana for either breakfast or dinner. Their dinner is my absolute favorite! I always look forward to the Grilled Chicken with Polynesian-inspired Chimichurri Sauce, the famous 'Ohana Noodles and of course, the 'Ohana Bread Pudding for dessert. Not up for a full meal? Check out the
Pineapple Lanai for a delicious DOLE Whip treat. Sometimes they offer a lime DOLE Whip that is so refreshing.
Please
stop back by and visit if you have any additional vacation planning questions.
Have a magical day!
