AllEars has a fantastic comparison between Animal Kingdom Lodge and Polynesian Resort. If you’re considering one of those hotels, it’s worth a read! Check it out at http://allears.net/2019/01/26/who-does-it-better-animal-kingdom-lodge-or-polynesian-village/
Personally, I prefer Animal Kingdom Lodge. The pool is incredible and the restaurants are amazing, with plenty of varied food from different cultures. Not to mention that it’s great to wake up and watch the animals grazing on the grasslands around the lodge. I spent several days at Animal Kingdom Lodge two years ago and had so much fun!
