Does Disney’s Polynesian Resort have a Playground? 2021

So you’re wondering if the Disney Polynesian resort has a playground?

Unfortunately, the answer is no. The Polynesian at Disney World does not have a playground.

There is some outdated information on-line saying that the Polynesian does have a playground, but that’s no longer true. Things are always changing at Disney World and apparently a playground at Polynesian did not make the cut.

Things to do with Preschoolers at the Polynesian Resort

Even though there’s not a playground at Disney World’s Polynesian Resort, there are plenty of other ways to keep a preschooler or toddler entertained:

Swim in the pool or splash pad (resort guests only)
Watch the waterfall (outside Capt Cooks)
Play in the sand at the beach (take turns covering up each others feet)
Look at the passing boats
Go on a boat ride (you don’t have to get off. Make it a round trip!)
Look at the monorails
Ride a monorail (once this monorail stop opens back up!)
Sit in a swing at the beach
Walk around the outside of the resort – look at the plants, lizards, rocks etc.
Walk around the inside of the resort – look at the various decorations – can you find Moana’s oars hung on the wall 😉
Browse the gift shops
Eat a fun snack (may we suggest the Moana cupcake)
Look at Cinderella’s castle
Run around the grassy area (outside of Capt Cooks)
People watch
Make friends with other young kids
Take silly pictures
