Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has been part of Disney World since the beginning. The literal beginning, in fact, as the hotel was one of two — along with the Contemporary — to open with the rest of the resort on October 1st, 1971, and it set the standard for the immersive Disney World theming to come.

With the Polynesian being an integral part of Disney history, it’s a bucket list stay for many fans and aficionados. If you’re heading for your first visit to the hotel anytime soon, don’t forget to pack these ESSENTIAL items.
Let’s begin with this Mickey and Minnie Hawaiian Shirt. Do we really need to explain this one?

What better clothing to wear to the Polynesian? Especially for a nightcap at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto. This officially liscensed button down features a “cute and fashionable Hawaiian print design” with Mickey, Minnie, and flowers.
Kids will LOVE this Stitch Accessory Set at the hotel’s beach or the pool!

The set features a colorful backpack featuring a drawstring top, mesh siding, and adjustable straps, a single-wall water bottle with a spill-proof lid with included straw, and a waterproof pouch that can keep snacks, phones, wallets, and other small items secure and dry… all of which are covered in images of Experiment-626.
Speaking of the pool or beach, there’s this Moana Beach Towel.

This 29″ x 59″ towel is 100% cotton and features a vivid Moana design that will delight at the hotel’s beach or pool.
Finally, kids will love watching the fireworks through these Toy Binoculars.

The Polynesian provides some outstanding views of the Magic Kingdom’s fireworks display, and these binoculars will help little ones get the best possible view.
If you’re heading to Disney’s iconic Polynesian Resort anytime soon, you need to grab these essentials from Amazon first. Stay tuned to AllEars for more thoughts on everything you need for a trip to Disney World!
