Disney's Polynesian Village Resort opened at Walt Disney World on October 1, 1971, making it only one of two opening day hotels on property (the other is Disney's Contemporary Resort; Fort Wilderness Campground opened at a month later). Inspired by the South Pacific, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort feels like its own tropical oasis on Seven Seas Lagoon (a short monorail or boat ride away from Magic Kingdom). With world-class restaurants and lounges ('Ohana, Kona Cafe, Trader Sam's and more), iconic pools, breathtaking views, a wide range of unique room options (including honeymoon suites and Bora Bora Bungalows), and a rich history at Walt Disney World, Polynesian is a fan-favorite resort. In this episode, we discuss everything you need to know about staying at this deluxe-level resort, share reasons why you might want to stay here, and offer suggestions about how to make the most of your stay. And stay tuned because our next podcast episode will feature more information specifically about Island Tower, the newest addition to this resort and part of the Disney Vacation Club portfolio of hotels.

This is episode 118 for April 18, 2022, and today our feature topic is The Dining Reservation I'm most looking forward to. We're taking a look at reservations at Disney and are thinking about those reservations that you just have to have, and can't wait to get one day. Grab your favorite beverage, sit back, and relax, and tell us in the comments below what you think! Here's the rundown of what we talked about: Cheddar from the Big CheeseSophie: Giancarlo Esposito, also known as Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian, teased us with a possible season 3 opening date sometime this summer! No official date is released, but can you imagine if it were to come out, say, July 1st? Wow!Sophie: Also, I know that we don't talk about Bruno…but today, we're going to talk about Bruno! The hit song from Encanto has become the best performing Disney song to date, beating out Elton John's version of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” from The Lion King in 1994. Also, Bruno spent five weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart! That's phenomenal! Brenda: Cast Member Previews for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind begin today, April 18th, 2022!Mike: On the Road with Mickey would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the family of Gilbert Gottfried. Known best in Disney circles as Iago in the movie Aladdin, he passed away at age 67 on April 12th. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, his children, and all those that knew him.

This week, Danielle Belton shares the story of her ceremony at Luau Pointe, with a meal at Kona Cafe and an EPCOT dessert party at UK Lochside. Danielle and Nick both work in the cruise industry and travel a lot for work, so they wanted their wedding to be centrally located and easy to plan. You'll hear how they chose their ceremony and dessert party venues, what their favorite menu items were, and how Danielle spent several months creating her bouquet out of Disneyland and Disneyland Paris park maps—even placing the spot where Nick proposed closest to her heart. And you'll hear how Nick saved the day when he discovered the ceremony set up in the wrong location and had Disney fix it before Danielle even knew! Click here to see all the photos!
I enjoy Disney with my kids, but when Mackenzie and I get a chance to go on our own we take it. And this is a great example how you can enjoy doing what some would see as close to nothing in the parks and it be an excellent day.

When you gotta go, you gotta go. That's true. But that doesn't mean you can't be educated about WHERE to go when you gotta go! Enter Episode 159... On this week's show we go park by park in order to highlight our favorite restrooms to use in Walt Disney World, based on criteria including size, design, crowds, space, and more. We also pick out a few restrooms we recommend avoiding if you can help it. In our latest edition of Eating Around the World, we provide quick reviews of three restaurants we recently dined at: Kona Cafe, Les Chefs de France, and Nine Dragons. Plus, we play another round of Mad Chatter Jeopardy, in which we provide ridiculous questions to even more ridiculous answers. Come join the fun! Are you on social media?

The Mad Chatters Podcast | Walt Disney World and Around the Disney Universe
All aboard the Walt Disney World monorail, your highway in the sky and your direct access to the ten delicious table-service restaurants at the three deluxe resorts near Magic Kingdom. On this week's show, we take a grand circle tour around the Seven Seas Lagoon in order to highlight the sit-down offerings at Disney's Contemporary, Polynesian Village, and Grand Floridian Resorts, including Chef Mickey's, Kona Cafe, Citricos, and Victoria & Albert's. Join us as we read the menus and take a closer look at what these dining locations have to offer. In another Mad Chatter game, we try to guess the Disney Legend based on one-word clues. Plus, we do some Armchair Imagineering by providing our own ideas for how the Walt Disney World parks can emulate Cars Land's Haul-O-Ween takeover and get into the Halloween spirit.

Welcome to Episode #15 of the DizFanatic "Ears On Ears" podcast! This is our "Lovey Dovey" episode. Thinking of popping the big question in Disney? Well some special friends have joined us to discuss getting engaged in Walt Disney World. We share their experiences and some advice on this magical subject. Of course we also talk a bit about some recent exciting Disney news. As promised, our guests sent in a brief overview of their stories. Of course it's more fun to hear all of the details, but here are some quick notations: Kristin & Cory: My fiance Cory is everything in a man that I always hoped I would have – he's smart, he's funny, he's always there for me, he's just amazing. We've been together for four years now – and we're a great team. On our vacation to Disney World in July 2010, Cory proposed to me on the beach of the Polynesian Resort, right before the fireworks. He was so nervous! He got down on one knee, and told me that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. It had to be the most magical night of my life. Standing there, watching the fireworks surround the Magic Kingdom, with a brand new ring on my finger and a future to look forward to, was like a dream. It's like we were in another world and the fireworks were just for us! When Cory proposed I was so surprised, and so so happy! Disney is such a special place for us. My parents brought my sister and I to Disney every year as kids, and we have continued to go every year as adults. It has always been a special place to me and my family, even more so since my father passed away unexpectedly 2 years ago. It was his favorite place in the world and we feel like a piece of him is there on the Seven Seas Lagoon by the Magic Kingdom. This made the proposal location that much more meaningful. Cory wanted to propose in Disney because it was a special place to us, but knew that that particular location meant even more to me. It's as if my dad was there with us, giving us his approval (and a pat on the back to Cory for choosing to propose in Disney) We are now planning our wedding in Disney World for November 2011. It is so very exciting and we just can't wait. Thanks to Mike and Anna for having us on their amazing Disney podcast! We had a great time! See ya real soon! =) Kristen & Dave: Dave, his family, and I were in Disney World December 29-January 2. We went to Yachtsman Steakhouse for a New Years Eve/birthday dinner (his dad's birthday was December 31st and my 21st birthday was January 1). After dinner, we went to the Magic Kingdom for the fireworks. After the fireworks, we walked up closer to Cinderella's Castle. I had wanted to get our picture taken the entire time we were in Disney in front of Cinderella's Castle. Dave kept putting it off... until that night. He took me to a place on the side of the castle where there was a Photopass photographer. We were standing there around 12:10am. I was getting so frustrated because Dave wouldn't look towards the camera to have our picture taken. He kept looking at me and trying to get me to face him. Finally, I turned towards him. Out of nowhere, he grabbed my hand and dropped to one knee. I was completely speechless and started crying. The Magic Kingdom was loud that night with a DJ playing in the background. I don't remember the music or the people around. I just remember looking down at him on one knee. It felt as if it was just Dave and I. Everything around me completely disappeared. It was the most magical moment of my life. I'm so happy I found my prince charming. And, dreams really do come true. And, the link to the video :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUd0EO0xaAY And finally, Adam & Denise who were unable to be with us: We got engaged in January 2008. We were both in college working part time retail jobs, so we weren't making very much money. We had to drive down, because there was no way we could afford a flight, a car, park tickets, meals, gas, and the rest. So we decided to drive straight through overnight because we just wanted to get down there ASAP. We were absolutely exhausted the next day, and spent most of it sleeping. We stayed with my aunt and uncle who live about 45 minutes from the parks. We went to the Magic Kingdom a few days later, and we went with my aunt and uncle who knew what was about to happen. Before we got to the Magic Kingdom, we stopped for a big breakfast. It was a nice way to start the day, but I was already jittery and stopping to eat just made me more anxious! When we got to the park, we spent some time walking down Main Street and even got our picture with Daisy Duck. Denise said later that she thought I was going to pop the question that day, but I kind of threw her off by stopping to take pictures and such on the way to the castle. Also, she said she was looking for a ring box but couldn't find one so that confused her, too. The truth was that I was carrying the ring around in my pants pocket, which made me extremely nervous. I was checking my pocket about every 30 seconds to make sure it was still there! When we got to the Castle, there was already a small crowd of people taking pictures, so we had to wait for a little bit to get our chance in front of the Castle. It finally came down to Denise and I and another family. The gentleman from the other family asked us if we wanted to go next, and I'm usually always courteous in this situation and allow the other person to go first, but in this case I said "Yes, thank you." So we gave our camera to my aunt who said she would take the picture, and took our place in front of the castle. When we were up there, I dropped to one knee and asked her to be my princess. She said yes, of course. When it was over, we walked back to my aunt and uncle and the gentleman from the other family told us he was really glad he let us go first! There were also more people there that came as the whole thing happened, and one lady was even crying! It was a pretty awesome thing, and it's a memory we'll share forever. What was the first thing we did after getting engaged? We hopped on the newly refurbed Haunted Mansion! Nothing starts off a life of togetherness like the Haunted Mansion! We spent most of the rest of the day enjoying the Magic Kingdom. At dinnertime, my aunt and uncle treated us to a meal at the Kona Cafe in the Polynesian. It was a wonderful meal, and it's made that restaurant one of my personal favorites ever since. While we were eating, it rained pretty hard outside. That was perfect, because we missed all the weather and by the time dinner was over a lot of people had actually cleared out of the park. After dinner, we decided to take the monorail over to Epcot (we had a Park Hopper option on our tickets). Denise had never been to Epcot, and I wanted to take some time and show her some of the countries. We had a really romantic stroll around World Showcase and had a blast walking through some of the shops. After that, we went back over to the Magic Kingdom for SpectroMagic and Wishes. It was a wonderful day full of memories and magic, and it was special that we got to spend some of it with family also. If I have one piece of advice to give for someone planning on doing this, I'd have to say that you need to pick something special. The Castle may not be the perfect spot to do this, even though it might be tempting to do it there. WDW is full of romantic and fun things, so you have to pick the one thing that you and your special someone relate to. I can't really recommend one particular spot because there are so many, but I'm sure there has to be one that fits just right. Do some research and see what WDW has to offer. I'm sure you'll find the right place! This episode of the DizFanatic Podcast is sponsored by WDWTravels.com which is a full service travel company specializing in Disney vacations.
