Don't Miss: Coloring, crafts & cookies in the lobby, 6 pm ceremony at great ceremonial house, watch fireworks on the beach or while night swimming in the pool, if you have young children, take the boat to the magic kingdom.

Room Location Suggestion: Get a room near Captain Cook's so one parent can bring meals back to the room without ordering room service.

The Mouse For Less Tip: The fountain drink mugs.

Comments: it is worth every penny, the atmosphere is so relaxing and yet you can see the Magic Kingdom.

Date Of Stay: October 2007

Type Of Resort: WDW Deluxe

Rate Paid During Your Stay: I can't remember the exact rate. However, our Magic For Less travel agent got a better deal on our "Land and Sea" package with staying at the Polynesian, than the Land and Sea vacation we were trying to put together on our own using a "moderate" resort!

Room Sleeps : 4 (Perhaps a 5th on the sofa.)

Don't Miss: Time to relax and simply walk around to enjoy the tropical plants!

Room Location Suggestion: The Tokelau building was very nice. Away from the noise of the volcano pool (which is quite fun, but active!) Yet central to the resort.

The Mouse For Less Tip: Maybe it wasn't the cheapest on the menu, but getting rained out from Fantasmic, we returned and ordered room service. We had the coconut/almond chicken -- and it was AMAZING! We strongly recommend it.

Comments: We LOVED the access to the monorail, (and the buses were frequent too.) The proximity to the Magic Kingdom is fabulous! Fun to take the boat across to the MK too. The room was extremely spacious for our family of three. A wonderful stay!

The Mouse For Less Tip:

Comments: We had some poor luck which was unfortunate.

• Bell services LOST our luggage. It was supposed to brought right over. After waiting for an hour, I called and they said they already brought it!!! They had to dispatch someone to find it and re-deliver it.
• I thought deluxe rooms came with refrigerators. We had to call for one - which was brought up after awhile. But, of course it was warm.
• Lastly, although housekeeping made beds and replaced towels, they did not clean the sink area or vacuum on two mornings.

I expect more from a "deluxe" hotel.
