Overview

This tropical-themed resort brings a slice of the South Pacific to Orlando. With lush gardens, white-sand beaches, and iconic overwater bungalows, it’s ideal if you’re after a more relaxed pace without losing that classic Disney magic. You’re also just one monorail stop from Magic Kingdom, which is an absolute win for families with little ones in tow.

Poolside

The main pool, Lava Pool, features a towering volcano, waterfall, and a thrilling waterslide. There’s also a quieter pool if you’re after a bit more peace, plus plenty of loungers dotted around for soaking up the sun. A poolside bar means you’re never too far from a cocktail either.

Food & Drink

‘Ohana is the standout here – a family-style restaurant serving all-you-can-eat Polynesian favourites. There’s also Kona Café for sushi and tropical flavours, and casual bites from Capt. Cook’s. Don’t miss the Dole Whip – it’s a cult favourite and well worth the hype.

Entertainment

Evenings are mellow but magical. Think tiki torches, ukulele music, and the Electrical Water Pageant gliding by. You might catch movie nights under the stars or a fire pit with marshmallow roasting. It’s low-key but full of atmosphere.

Sports & Activities

You can hire boats from the marina, take part in hula lessons, or just explore the beautifully landscaped grounds. Jogging trails around the resort offer scenic views, especially at sunrise.
