Animal Kingdom Lodge vs. Polynesian Resort: Which Disney Immersive Resort Is Worth Your Money?

Two of the most breathtaking resorts at Walt Disney World, but which one is actually right for your family? In this episode of our Disney Vs. series, Andrew and Ashley each pick a side and make their case. Andrew is defending Animal Kingdom Lodge, the real working African savanna outside your balcony, the extraordinary dining at Boma and Jiko, and an on-property experience unlike anything else in the world. Ashley is defending the Polynesian Village Resort, the monorail access, the iconic beach with Magic Kingdom fireworks views, and the warm enveloping resort experience that has made it one of the most beloved hotels on property for over 50 years. They go head to head on location, transportation, theming, dining, and who each resort is actually right for, so you can stop second guessing and start booking. Whether you are choosing between these two resorts for an upcoming trip or just love a good Disney debate, this one is for you. ✨ Want more Disney magic?
