Walt Disney World’s Polynesian Resort has some of the most delicious dining options on property! Taking flavors from Hawaii for their flavor, there are many dining options at every budget at this resort. This guide to Disney’s Polynesian Resort Dining will share descriptions and reviews of all the dining choices available. Be warned though, so many tasty options you may not have time to try them all.
