Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is my favorite Disney hotel at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.  For this reason, I’ve stayed there more than any other Disney hotel.  

I think it’s one of the best Disney hotels at combining relaxation with the thrill of being at the parks.  it is great for visitors of any age.

If you are like me and love Disney’s Polynesian Resort – or you’ve always wanted to visit the Polynesian Resort – then I’m sure you’d like to book a visit here.  But you may worry about the cost.  Luckily, I’ve got 5 ways to help you get back to the Polynesian Resort without having to break the bank.

Book a Disney Vacation Club Villa

Disney’s Polynesian Resort has a few buildings that house DVC villas.  DVC villas, by the way, are rooms specifically designed for Disney Vacation Club members. 

So you might be thinking, but I’m not a Disney Vacation Member!  But here’s the great thing about Disney Vacation Club villas: you can book one even if you’re not a Disney Vacation Club member!  

Basically, what you do is rent points from DVC members in order to book it.  The easiest way to do that is through David’s Vacation Rentals – a very reliable way to do this that I’ve done more than once to stay at the Polynesian Resort.  We have a explain how to how to book these Polynesian rooms through David’s Vacation Club Rentals here.  Another way you can stay here cheap is to book a confirmed reservation – and if you’re confused what that means, don’t worry; we explain confirmed reservations here.

Priceline

So booking through David’s Vacation Rentals is definitely the cheapest way to book a room at the Polynesian Resort.  Only negative?  If you are looking to book a room for specific dates, there aren’t always DVC rooms available.

So here’s the next place I like to look: Priceline.  I have found some great rates for Disney World hotels through this website.  So much so that I have paid less through Priceline than I have when booking a room through Disney’s website with my passholder discount.  So I would definitely check out Priceline for great rates for Polynesian rooms.

Stay on OffPeak Days & Dates

If your travel dates are a bit more flexible, then consider booking for offpeak days of the week and dates.  For example, if you look for stays during the week, you’ll pay less.  It’s a great way to make a visit at the Polynesian Resort more affordable.  And try, if possible, avoiding major holidays such as New Year’s, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

Vacation Packages

Still not finding the best rate for Polynesian Resort but want to stay there?  Then consider saving money on your overall vacation by booking a vacation package.  This is when you book your hotel room along with other parts of your Disney World trip (such as Disney World theme park tickets, a flight, or car rental).  You’ll save by bundling and that makes a stay at the Polynesian Resort more affordable.  You can find some great Disney World vacation packages here.

Swagbucks

One last way you can reduce the cost of a Polynesian Resort stay is through a website called Swagbucks.  Swagbucks is something you can earn through watching videos, taking surveys and even just through everyday online purchases you make.  I have been using Swagbucks for almost ten years, and it has helped me earn money to take a lot of vacations.  You can find out more about Swagbucks & how to earn it here.

If you decide to earn Swagbucks, what you can do is redeem the Swagbucks you earn for Hotels.com gift cards.  You can use those Hotels.com gift cards to book a room at Polynesian through Hotels.com.
