I stayed at every single Disney World resort and ranked them from worst to best

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is my all-time favorite place to stay.

Average room rate: $800 to $1,000

Level: Deluxe

I reach peak vacation mode every time I set foot in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.

Dating back to Disney World’s opening in 1971, the resort exudes paradise through tropical-inspired décor, ambiance, and dining.

In addition to newly renovated rooms, you also have a vast number of transportation options, including the monorail, boats, walking paths, and buses.

I love sipping on a tropical cocktail from Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto on the sandy beaches of the Seven Seas Lagoon while watching Magic Kingdom’s fireworks just across the water.

You’ll also find some cult-favorite Disney foods, like Dole Whip and Tonga Toast.

Note: These rates were accurate at the time of publication but are subject to change.
