The Polynesian Village Resort was one of Walt Disney World’s opening-day hotels, and decades later, the tropical bastion is still a WDW staple. It’s also one of the priciest resorts to book for a Disney vacation, along with the Contemporary, the Beach and Yacht Clubs, and the Grand Floridian. But even if you’re not staying at the Polynesian, we still suggest carving out an hour or two to visit the gift shops, have some lunch, and explore the grounds.
Whether the Polynesian is on your wish-list of places to stay in Walt Disney World, or you’re a Disney Parks collector who enjoys gathering resort-inspired merch, there are tons of Polynesian-themed must-haves on sites like Amazon and Etsy. We went ahead and rounded up six of our favorite items you can purchase online.
1. A Fragrance Oil for Tropical Times
There are many wonderful scents in Walt Disney World, and the Polynesian’s lobby is one of the best. This Poly Lobby 10ml Fragrance Oil by Park Scents can be used with a water-based diffuser, humidifier, or oil warmer. The smell is so convincing, you’d swear you were kicking back at the Tambu Lounge with an ice-cold Backscratcher.
2. A Room Spray for When You Miss the Resort
Park Scents also makes this Poly Lobby 4oz Room Spray that we’re into. With hints of hibiscus, orange blossom, and solar amber, you can make a bedroom or even an entire home smell like the Polynesian Resort. The scent is supposed to last for up to four days, and many Amazon shoppers were enthralled with the sniffable results.
👀 For another Polynesian smell sampling, we also recommend this Magic Candle Company product line. Choose between candles, a room spray, wax melts, soaps, and more. Prices start at $5.95 for the Poly-inspired air freshener.
3. A Stitch-Inspired Tiki Time
Get in the mood for a cosmic cocktail with this Geeki Tikis Hula Stitch Ceramic Mug. The BPA-free ceramic tumbler holds up to 20 ounces of your favorite beverage and is both microwave-safe and top rack dishwasher-safe. Experiment 626 is always up for mischief, so do be mindful of his alcohol intake.
4. A Moana Mug To Motivate Your Monday Mornings
We enjoy recommending Silver Buffalo products whenever we can, and this Moana 17oz Ceramic Mug is a perfect coffee vessel. Whether you’re traversing waters unknown or simply getting ready for work in the morning, both Moana and Maui will be there to inspire you. The mug is also microwave-safe and top rack dishwasher-safe.

5. A Trash Can Trader Sam Would Be Proud Of
It’s time for some deep cuts! This Polynesian Hotel-Inspired Mini Trash Can is an Etsy treasure that diehard Disney fans will love. Measuring 4.75 x 4.75 x 7 inches, this bite-sized replica is great for bookshelves, countertops, end tables, or workplace cubicles that could do with a bit of cheering up. That said, this statuette is for indoor use only.
6. A Nostalgic Throwback to Non-Digital Keys
How about a vintage hotel keychain to channel those Poly Resort vibes? This Polynesian Resort Keychain is another Etsy gem, and it’s laser-cut from acrylic and hand-painted. The room number is actually the year the Polynesian opened, but you can also request custom numerics.
Disney Resort Stickers: The Polynesian and Beyond
We’d also like to call attention to our own Polynesian Resort sticker. Die-cut, vinyl, and waterproof, it’s the perfect size for journals, planners, and water bottles. It’s a great way to commemorate a Disney trip recently completed, and it's one of our favorite ways to psych yourself up for your next adventure.
We also sell this Disney resort stickers set, which includes three hotel designs: the Polynesian, the Contemporary, and the Grand Floridian (all of which are located on the Magic Kingdom monorail loop).
