Polynesian DVC Villas: Tropical Paradise on the Monorail

Polynesian DVC Villas: Tropical Paradise on the Monorail

The Polynesian Village Resort brings tropical island vibes to Walt Disney World, and the DVC villas here offer some of the most unique accommodations in the entire program, including the only overwater bungalows at Disney.

Two Distinct DVC Experiences

Polynesian DVC offers two very different room types: traditional villas in the longhouse buildings and the spectacular overwater Bora Bora Bungalows that float on the Seven Seas Lagoon.

Polynesian Resort Quick Facts

Contract Expiration January 31, 2066
2025 Annual Dues $11.23 per point (highest at WDW)
Resale Price Range $165-$190 per point
Transportation Monorail, Boat to Magic Kingdom
Room Types Studios and Bora Bora Bungalows

The Famous Bora Bora Bungalows

These overwater bungalows are unlike anything else at Disney or most domestic resorts. Each bungalow sleeps up to 8 guests and features a private deck with direct views of Magic Kingdom fireworks over the water.

Bungalow Points Requirements

Season Points Per Night
Adventure 95 points
Choice 111 points
Dream 135 points
Magic 159 points

Bungalows require significant point counts - many owners combine contracts or borrow points for these stays.

Studio Villas

The Polynesian studios offer a more accessible option with Lake View and Standard View categories. These accommodate up to 5 guests and feature beautifully updated tropical decor with modern amenities.

Why Choose the Polynesian?

  • Theming: Immersive South Pacific atmosphere with lush landscaping
  • Location: Monorail loop with easy Magic Kingdom and Epcot access
  • Dining: Ohana, Kona Cafe, and Trader Sams Grog Grotto
  • Bungalows: Unique overwater experience exclusive to DVC members

Things to Consider

  • Highest annual dues of any WDW DVC resort
  • Studios only - no 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom traditional villas
  • Bungalows require very large point counts
  • Limited availability due to smaller villa inventory
