The Polynesian Resort has some great recreational facilities.
Besides the lush atmosphere of the gardens, the resort now boasts a great
new volcano-themed pool. The resort also has a marina and arcade,
and is the host site of WDW's Neverland Club. [Note: The resort is also
the site of Luau Cove and the venerable Polynesian Luau dinner show. You
can read more about the luau at MousePlanet's WDW
Restaurant Resource.]
From the Great Ceremonial House,
follow a small stream through and around the buildings. Small rope bridges
provide access across the stream.
A wide walkway runs along the stream.
From here, you can see the volcano in the background.
The pool is quite a bit larger than the old grotto pool
that was in this same location Of course, the volcano provides a
great place for water slides, and adds significantly to the themed atmosphere.
The stream dumps into the volcano
pool.
Nestled in between the Samoa, Hawaii, and Tokeliau buildings
is the resort's quiet pool. Although this pool still gets fairly busy
during hot afternoons, especially in the summer, it's also quite a bit
less crowded than the volcano pool.

All kinds of water craft can be rented in the marina. Here
you can see a row of gleaming white water mice, just ready to be taken
for a spin on the Lagoon. These small boats are a blast! I highly
recommend renting them for a half hour, even though they are a bit pricey.

Next to Rarotonga, this building houses the resort's guest
laundry, arcade, and Neverland Club, and is the location of the former
Tangaroa Terrace. Tangaroa Terrace is no longer operating as a restaurant,
and is now used only for special, paid events.

former Tangaroa Terrace.
The Neverland Club is themed to be a little bit of Darling
nursery along with a little bit of Neverland. If you bring your
children here, be prepared for a hefty bill. However, it's a great way
to have an evening out without them.

The kids can climb through the window to get in the club,
if they don't want to go through the door.
