The Polynesian is not as great a shopping destination as the Grand Floridian, or even the Contemporary Resort. It has a handful of stores, mostly oriented toward providing the things that a guest would really need to buy while on vacation.

Downstairs in the Great Ceremonial House, almost directly behind the waterfall from the check-in desk, is News From Civilization. I don't even have a picture of this little shop, but suffice to say, it peddles magazines, newspapers, books, small snacks, and resort trinkets.

Much more upscale are the Polynesian Princess...

...and Robinson Crusoe Esq. shops which sell women's and men's resort wear, bathing suits, and so on.

Trader Jack's rounds out the resort shopping district. Located upstairs in the Great Ceremonial House directly above the check-in desk, Trader Jack's is the place to go for the typical resort stuff. If you need snacks, T-shirts, mugs, or other Polynesian Resort logo or character merchandise, Trader Jack's will cover you.

I still think that one of the coolest details in all of the Polynesian Resort is the King Kamehameha Mickey located up high on the wall in Trader Jack's. It's the kind of detailing that make the Disney resorts so special... you just have to keep your eyes open to find them.
