4. The only negatives were outside the control of the Polynesian -- a cold morning when the monorail didn't run well; a slow-arriving bus; and a very crowded parking lot (but after I'd nearly given up, they showed me a secondary lot where I was able to park).

"Excellent stay at Concierge Level " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/20/2012 Vote

5. Captain Cook's restaurant was great (slow service at times due to influx of guests) and the staff was more than helpful.

10. The restaurants in the area are all very good, and the bus service to downtown disney, while slow (it is the bus, afterall), is only 20 to 30 minutes.
