Dining
For some people the Polynesian is a destination not to stay at but to eat at. Many make a special trip to the Polynesian just for the food. It was even recommended in the 2001 Summer Issue of Disney Magazine to visit the Polynesian to eat. Let's see what the Polynesian has to offer when it comes to dining.
If you are hungry and don't want to leave your room, just about all the items that Kona Cafe and 'Ohana has is available through room service from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
Guests may now book dining reservations at select locations via the Internet at www.disneyworld.com/dining. Guests may book select table service restaurants and dinner shows up to 90 days in advance and soon may book a limited number of special dining events, too. When making reservations online, Guests will need to provide the number of adults and children in the party as well as the ages of the children. Guests also should have credit card information available if the reservation they are booking requires pre-payment or a credit card guarantee. For party sizes of 10 or more, Guests should call (407) 939-7861 for reservations.
