Have you ever wondered how Disney’s Polynesian Resort celebrates Christmastime in Disney World?
Although their approach is a bit more lei-ed back, their Christmas decorations are totally on point!
Stepping off the monorail, you’re immediately greeted with swags of stunning holiday garland when you look up — but it’s not just made with your traditional pine tree branches! Instead, you’ll notice tropical flowers and handcrafted ornaments made out of natural materials like wood and rattan accented by jute ribbons!
And once you step inside, grab yourself one of the new infused seasonal drinks and head on downstairs to check out the Poly’s gorgeous Christmas tree!
Two words to describe Disney’s Polynesian Resort’s Christmas tree: STUN-NING! We can spot a ton of different tropical flower varieties, and even some PINEAPPLES! Great — now we gotta jam over to Tambu Lounge to grab a Lapu Lapu real quick, brb!
AH! That’s better! We also noticed some of the Boutiki tiki carvings were sporting some festive pine tree leis!
And one of the tiki statues was closely guarding a massive haul of Hawaiian Christmas sweets!
We’d love to say ALOHA! to any of these Honolulu Cookie Gift Sets if we uncover them under our Christmas tree on December 25th!
If you’re traveling by Disney’s Polynesian Resort this holiday season, try to make time to see their awesome Christmas decor — and try to score yourself some $5 noods while you’re there from Tambu Lounge’s SECRET MENU — read more about it HERE!
