We’re diving head-first into another wildly fun round of Resort Wars, and this time the battle is big, bold, and packed with classic Disney history. We’re putting Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Contemporary Resort into the ring, and trust us… this showdown is a monorail-line heavyweight match.

If you’ve been following our Resort Wars journey, you know we’ve taken on some iconic battles — Pop vs. Art of Animation, Riverside vs. French Quarter, Grand Flo vs. Riviera, and more. But there’s something special about comparing two Opening Day Resorts that have shaped Walt Disney World since 1971. These places aren’t just hotels… they’re pieces of Disney history.

On Team Polynesian, you’ve got tropical vibes, tiki torches, beachside sunsets, and DOLE Whip on demand. On Team Contemporary, you’ve got sleek mid-century magic, the monorail gliding through the Grand Canyon Concourse, the iconic Mary Blair mural, and the best walk to Magic Kingdom on property.

We break down theming, rooms, dining, transportation, amenities, and value — and of course, we leave Listener Intel and the final verdict to YOU.

So grab your Mickey ears, hop on the monorail, and tune in as we decide which Opening Day legend takes home the crown in this edition of Resort Wars!
