The Best Way to Get from Disney’s Beach Club to the Polynesian (With Alternatives)
When it comes to visiting other resorts on a Disney World vacation, the Polynesian is always a popular destination. Whether you’re visiting for dinner reservations or you only want to stop by to breathe in the tropical atmosphere, a visit will likely be on your to-do list. If you’re staying at Disney’s Beach Club, however, getting to the Polynesian might not seem so straightforward. So below, we’ve listed the best way to get from Disney’s Beach Club to the Polynesian using complimentary transportation provided by Disney.
The Best Way
Take a bus from Disney’s Beach Club Resort to Magic Kingdom. At Magic Kingdom, you’ll walk through the security clearance. From there, you have options. You can do one of the following:
- Take the resort monorail from the Magic Kingdom to the Polynesian.
- Take a boat from the Magic Kingdom to the Polynesian. (It stops at Grand Floridian on the way.)
- Walk via the Grand Floridian walkway to the Polynesian. (This is a long, scenic route.)
You’ll want to take the weather into consideration when deciding which option works best for you.
Alternative Route
You can take a FriendShip (boat) or walk from the Beach Club to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Then, you can board a bus to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
For Breakfast Reservations: One important note, we would not rely on taking a bus from a theme park to a resort before 10:00 a.m. From our experience, it often takes longer to find a bus that’s immediately returning to the resort. If we were visiting the Polynesian for breakfast, we would allow time to take the bus to Magic Kingdom and then monorail or boat to the Polynesian.
