Disney World Monorail Hotel List

Why Should You Opt To Stay at a Disney World Monorail Hotel?

As we mentioned, you can take the Monorail to Magic Kingdom and Epcot – which is arguably better than getting the bus!
You can also take the Monorail to the other Resorts on the Monorail. This is perfect if you love to resort hop or dine at other Resorts.
Every Resort has a walking path to Magic Kingdom. So, if you don’t feel like getting the Monorail (or it breaks down – something that happened when I stayed at the Polynesian 😭), you could still walk if you didn’t want to take a bus (the transportation option when the Monorail goes down – but don’t worry, this isn’t something that happens every day 😂).
Some rooms at these Resorts offer views of Magic Kingdom – which is perfect if you want to watch the fireworks from your hotel.
You have access to Deluxe Resort perks – which basically means you have access to Extended Evening Hours (two nights a week, you get two extra hours at the theme parks – usually Magic Kingdom and Epcot.

As only Deluxe Resort guests are eligible for this, it means a quiet park and short wait times!). Also, at the end of Extended Evening Hours, there’s nothing better than just hopping on the Monorail. I recently did this when I stayed at Grand Floridian, and it was AMAZING!

If you’re attending Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, it’s so convenient to be on the Monorail.

I stayed at the Polynesian when I went to the Halloween Party in November 2022, and it was a dream to just catch the Monorail at the end of the night – instead of the bus.

They all have Club Levels (access to a lounge with “complimentary” food and drinks throughout the day and concierge service).

Every Disney World Monorail Hotel

1) Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort was an Opening Day Disney World Resort (October 1st, 1971) – making it one of Disney’s most iconic Resorts.

Theme and Atmosphere:

The resort is a love letter to the spirit of the South Pacific islands, with lush landscapes, tiki torches, and traditional Polynesian architecture.

From the moment you arrive, you’re transported to a serene oasis, complete with swaying palm trees and the white sandy “beach”.

Dining:

The resort is home to some of Disney’s most beloved dining experiences.

‘Ohana is a popular restaurant known for its character meals with Lilo and Stitch and Polynesian-inspired dishes. The Kona Cafe offers a diverse menu with a combination of American and Asian cuisines, and the Pineapple Lanai is famous for its Dole Whip treats.

Most importantly, the quick-service location – Capt. Cook’s serves the infamous Tonga Toast for breakfast!

Recreation at the Polynesian:

There are two pools at the Polynesian: 1) Lava Pool (the feature pool) and 2) Oasis Pool (the leisure pool).
Polynesian Village Campfire Activities – roasting marshmallows around the fire on select nights at the Seven Seas Lagoon Beach.
Movies Under the Stars on the Great Ceremonial House Lawn – on select nights.
Motorized Boat Rentals – at Seven Seas Lagoon.
Fishing
Volleyball
A jogging trail along the lagoon
The Electrical Water Pageant – which can be viewed from the Seven Seas Lagoon Beach.

Transportation:

One of the significant advantages of Polynesian Village Resort is its convenient transportation options.

In addition to its Monorail access, you can catch a bus to:

Hollywood Studios

Animal Kingdom

Disney Springs

(To get to the Water Parks, you usually have to go to Animal Kingdom or Disney Springs first and transfer to another bus – but this is subject to change, so be sure to check this before your visit).

You can also catch a water taxi to Magic Kingdom.

Shopping:

The Polynesian has two shops:

BouTiki – the main shop, which can easily take up your time and money!
Moana Mercantile – a smaller shop.

Boutique shops like BouTiki offer a selection of island-inspired merchandise, from clothing to unique souvenirs.

You can even find merchandise from Aulani!

Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows

In 2015, a new DVC Resort opened at the Polynesian – with Studios and Bungalows.

A new DVC Tower is currently being built, which will also have:

Duo Studios (similar to the small studios that only sleep 2 guests at Riviera and The Villas at Disneyland Hotel).
Deluxe Studios
One Bedroom Villas
Two Bedroom Villas
Lockoff Two Bedroom Villas

Pricing at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows

As this is a DVC property, here are the number of points (based on the 2024 points chart) it costs per night to stay at the Polynesian (in Studios and Bungalows, as the point chart hasn’t yet been released for the new Tower):

Deluxe Studio (sleeps up to 5 guests) – Standard View: 14-36 points per night

Deluxe Studio (sleeps up to 5 guests) – Lake View: 19-43 points per night

Two-Bedroom Bungalow (sleeps up to 8 guests) – 112-226 points per night

I stayed in a Deluxe Studio – Standard View in November 2022, and it is gorgeous!

The Polynesian has the biggest Studios on property, so if you are travelling with a few other people and are planning on staying in a Studio, this might be your best option on the Monorail – or in general.

That being said, it takes a lot of points per night – so if you’re using or renting Disney Vacation Club Points (a more affordable way than booking through Disney directly), it is going to be one of if not the most expensive DVC Resort (depending on the time you visit).
