In today's vlog we head to Walt Disney World's Polynesian Village Resort to check in for our Disney Bucket List staycation! We were so excited to check into our Polynesian Bora Bora Bungalow! We never thought this was a place we'd ever get to actually stay! We start our trip with a full and detailed tour of the bungalow followed by some lunch at Capt Cooks the quick service restaurant located at the Polynesian. Then we got dinner to go from Kona Cafe which we enjoyed back in out bungalow. We show you around the resort a little bit and then we end out the night. We can't wait to share the rest of our staycation with you! We hope you enjoyed the tour and we will see you tomorrow with another staycation video!

8:07 That is uti! the goddess of fishing. She stood on top of the enchanted tiki room in California! the bird on top of her is the barker parrot, who would call guests in, again, like the one in the pirates of the carribean in California
Edit: I forgot to add something! The torch she holds is part of her story. She taught Polynesian mortals how to fish by holding a torch over their heads to lure the fish to the light! the torch was also lit when she stood on top of the tiki room!
Yeah, what this person said. This is the correct answer. I was gonna say it myself then spotted this. Good work, Stinko!
I couldn't remember her name but yeah, this!!!
AND I found that Tiki at 1:20 in a Tracker Video from 2 years ago called Walt Disney World Polynesian Village Resort Tour | Hotel Grounds, Pools & Food Locations.
Really enjoying the "after the trip" room tour. What a great idea to talk about things that worked and things that didn't.
totally agree with why you like this way of giving the tour, but do you not enjoy just seeing the pristine state of the room upon arrival, and the excitement of whats to come? when the tour is given after the stay, the negatives are kind of a bummer. now idk about you, but i am not trying to book a bungalow anytime in the near future, so i enjoy the positivity of just living vicariously, rather than if I were to book any time soon!
Completely agree!
Fun fact about the separate commodes and showers: across Polynesia, it is a massive faux pas to have a commode and a shower in the same room. The commode is Tapu (taboo or negative energy) for obvious reasons; it’s a waste receptacle. Whereas the shower is Noa (good/positive energy) because you use it for cleansing. And the two are not allowed to mix, since one neutralises the other. Most modern buildings in NZ try to incorporate this aspect into their construction.
I really like that Disney was sensitive to the cultural aspects, even something that’s subtle enough that if you weren’t familiar with Polynesian culture, you wouldn’t think it was a deliberate decision.

So I definitely like the cabins at Wilderness Lodge better! Especially because of the screened in area with no bugs and a hot tub.
@@cynthiaabbott1945 There's actually a video here on UA-cam about why you don't see mosquitoes in Disney World.
Me too
@ Cynthia Abbot His Name is Tim. There is A Video on youtube about The No Mosquitos at Disney world in A UA-cam video on Midway to Main Street. I don’t understand how people can surrive bugs in there place they are staying I think if you are staying at the Poly in A Inside room it’s better and some people may Disagree but why would you want to stay in A Bunglow When there are bugs and insects in A Polynesian Bunglow I Agree with you.
I feel they learned from their "mistakes" in the bungalows and corrected them in the Wilderness Lodge cabins
I don't think this little baby could get any cuter. He just makes me smile. LOVE his shirt. Such a great classy family.
Deja vu... Tim points out lobby bar he didn’t realize was there... Same bar he points out almost 2 years ago that he also didn’t know was there, while doing resort tours. 🤣😂
Tim’s got a lot of Disney miles on him.
Who else was waiting for this one ALL day!!??
I love the "now its time to help" ending. It is really spotlighting a lot of good causes.
Yes, I love it! 👏👏👏
I can't believe Jackson is so big! He looks SO adorable in his little Hawaiian shirt!
That artwork is beautiful. Just so realistic and Disney of them to put all the woodwork and real art pieces inside.. can’t get better than Disney.. honestly!
so when I did my college program in 2018 me and my friends walked around the three resorts by the MK and we went to the Polynesian and we wanted to take a photo on the beach and so we asked this lady if she could take our photo and she did! After the photo we talked to her for a bit and she said how she is staying in the bungalows with her husband and daughter and she asked us if we wanted to take photos on the porch of her bungalow! we were so excited and she gave us a whole tour of their place and the husband and daughter were so confused as to why their wife/mom brought it a bunch of girls in their early 20s to take photos on their porch swing and hot tub 😂 but it was so amazing and I want to stay here one day!
I met my husband on our college program back in 2003. We are still crazy Disney people. Last year we finally got the chance to stay in a Bungalow. It was amazing.
I just now realized that Adam the Woo is doing staycation hotels videos the other coast for Disneyland, Knotts, and Universal as well. So cool.
The Tiki Goddess that you keep seeing is Uti and used to be on the exterior of the Enchanted Tiki Room in Disneyland.
I love living vicariously through this family 😂
“Shag” is the name of the artist who’s work u see all over the Polynesian, he does a lot of collaborations with disney. and i go to high school with his son LOL
The tour of the room after the stay was a cool idea. I liked it! I'm also loving these staycation videos in general.
Also, Jackson does look like such a little grown adult in that outfit and those shoes! He's so unbelievably adorable.
The character in the painting is Uti, goddess of fishing!!
Before the tiki room facade in Disneyland collapsed, she was in a canoe above it. She holds a torch that in the beginnings of Disneyland was lit 24/7.
I’ve been feeling horrible recently and your videos cheer me up so much. Thank you!
Thank you so much for including the spider review in the hotel. I’m really Squimish about those things and really appreciate it.
Whatever spider made that web in front of the light was a smart boi! He doesn’t even have to try.
The amount of times you said "phenomenal" perfectly is amazing. I have to stop and really think about it. Every time.
Hey! that's me and my wife at 32:09 . We are at the table on the left hand side with the server talking to us. We got to meet Tim on way out! Was definitely one of the highlights of our vacation! We have watched Tim and Jen for years, they are like part of our family. Every day I come home and ask my wife "What are Tim and Jen up to today?" and then we watch their vlog. They are just so full of positivity, which is something we all desperately need right now! And, Jackson is so adorable he always makes us smile. Keep up the good work guys!
You just look so tan and youthful in the warmer light!!! Jackson is getting SO big!!!! Adorable!!!
Love your videos, staying at a bungalow is my dream. We faithfully follow your videos and love them! With all that's going on and compromised kiddos I'm not sure when we'll get back to Disney, but thankfully we have you to bring that to us. Whenever I'm having a bad day, I binge watch your videos! We also have a 1 yr old who loves Jackson. She squeals in delight when she sees him, I think she has her first crush!
Genius move doing the tour at the end so you can share everything that you learned!
Kona Cafe is sooooo delicious! I love love love the potstickers!!!! I want some now!
The Thai meatballs are one of my favorites! Too bad it didn’t agree with you. Love the Poly. We go every year. The artwork in the dvc rooms is the same paintings Hope you have fun.
The hotel stays you guys do are amazing thank you for sharing
I squealed with delight at Jackson's outfit! The tiny shoes! The shirt! So cute!
I love that you are giving Jackson real food!!! That’s awesome!!
Omg his little magic band!
i forgot his name was jackson and not buddy for a sec there. lol.
The last thought I’d have while staying at Disney is “hmm I wonder how much I weigh.? Better get on that scale.” 😂😂
I read somewhere that they include the scales so that guests can weigh their luggage.
Yep, it's to weigh your luggage. Last thing you need is the extra charge you get when it is overweight.
It was a joke y’all. 😂😂
I love this video! It is very informative. It would be great if you guys could take advantage of the low crowd and do more of these. Would love to see you three at other resort staycations and trying the food at those resorts like Bay Lake Tower, Grand Floridian, Beach Club, Copper Creek, etc..... You guys are very informative on room details and restaurant details and activity details. We love seeing what is currently going on there with the low crowd numbers, so please consider more staycations. You guys are Awesome!
So happy you guys got to check off another bucket list stay. We rode on the Joe Potter this morning and saw Tim and Jackson waving at the boats. My husband yelled and said good morning to you. Hope you had a magical stay!!
Thank you guys for sharing your lives with all of your fans! You are such a wonderful family and I love watching all your videos!
Jenn I just have to say you look especially beautiful in your tropical outfit at the beginning of the video!
Very nice bungalow! I really enjoy seeing your staycations and get to see the types of rooms/cabins at the resorts. Great vlog!
Jackson is absolutely adorable!! We can't get enough of him!!
Jackson’s little Hawaiian shirt and little magic band and little shoes 🥺😭
OMG Jackson's growing so fast. He's just so cute with his hawaian outfit I could eat him up! 😍
Jackson’s outfit is definitely BEYOND adorable! Teeny baby shoes kill me, lol. 😍
So happy to be watching this. We took a direct hit from hurricane Sally. Just got power back after 5 days ❤ i need my disney connection!!
"I don't know what these baskets are for." and then "sorry, these are our towels", pointing to the towels on the floor, right next to the empty basket. LOL. I'm guessing it was a basket/hamper for towels.
Happily ever.... PEW PEW! The best
By the Way, Jackson lookin’ cool in his Hawaiian Shirt.
Stephen Reed Yeah, and he’s lookin COOL, too!
Have not watched your videos in a long while and LOOK AT JACKSON!!! He’s so big already!! 😍😍😍
Glad to see you trackers out living your best life at Disney. We were juststaying at Tokelau at Poly and its so empty. Taking in every minute and looking forward to more normal resort days.
That microwave/oven combo is an awesome addition. I had one in my house up north in addition to my regular stove and one memorable Thanksgiving where we had dozens of people, that extra oven made the cooking possible. It's good to know those bungalows have that option. Very nice. Here's to one day being able to host a large celebratory dinner somewhere! I love your presentation.
I think you guys are transitioning towards 1 nap a day. Loved that period. One 2 hour nap per day at lunchtime. Heaven!
Amazing! Love the outside area overlooking the water with Cinderella’s castle in view and the fact you could watch the fireworks with the music pumping in (when they’re on)
this is my comfort video I keep coming back!!
Thanks for the tour! I’m a little bummed about the food and the bugs! 💝
Lol, I love that I think two desserts is ok any day, not just on vacation! 😉
Such a fun trip! Glad you’re getting these mini breaks
Doing the room tour after your stay is a FANTASTIC idea, love it!! 👏
That veiw from the patio is gorgeous! I love those swings❤️ Looks like a great little hideaway to just relax. It's so awesome to get away to such a beautiful place without being far from home. Huge hugs and love to you guys xoxo
Thanks for the warning about the spiders. I am terrified of them. I could never stay there.
Aw hell no those bugs are a no thanks from me. Prefer the cabins that were screened in
Yep!! Not that I could afford to stay there, but if I could, I would NOT!! Tim said the creepy word...spiders.
Yeah when they said spiders I was like ok no thanks lol
Beatrice Just right I was expecting the room to be more extravagant idk the cabins looked nicer to me
When I used to do photography, we'd use a purple filter over the lens to counteract the yellow cast from incandescent lighting. Maybe that's a possibility for your lenses?
We’ve been wanting to stay in a bungalow at the Poly for so long! While it looks pretty awesome, the bugs turn me off a little. The cabin seemed much nicer to sit outdoors because it was screened. Maybe we’ll stay at the Poly in a regular room 🤷🏼♀️
That was my concern with the bungalows. Too many bugs from the water!
Life Lately We stayed in one in August and there were no bugs.
Nancy Small That’s good to know! Thank you! The bungalow is beautiful and I really would love to stay in one someday. Hopefully when I do there will be NO bugs! 😄
Gregg B I agree, they’re high rent! Thats another reason we haven’t stayed there 😂. For that price I better not see a bug for 5 miles! 😂
Gregg B. The way to make these bungalows “affordable” (ha!) is through Disney Vacation Club. We’ve done a split stay with 4 days in a studio at the Polynesian and 3 days in the bungalows when we needed to use up our points. We’re staying for 5 nights at Christmas in the bungalows because, again, we need to use up our points since our trip earlier this year got canceled. Frankly, I don’t know how anyone can actually pay cash for these - they’re ridiculously expensive. I’ve read that the Hollywood people stay there when they visit. DVC helps us regular folks have some fun. Hope this helps.
Very smart Orb-weaver spider for setting its web right at that light like that.
I’m 18 and we go to Disney 2 times a year. I’ve slept in that lol o and stitch little bed over 13 times in my life😂 it’s so peaceful looking at that artwork while falling asleep and hearing the water and the poly ambiance
Jackson is the cutest baby! Love his little shoes.
What a magical extra “character” meet and greet. It would make my trip to have the Tracker Family waving to me from their bungalow as I passed on the Ferry!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Kona is a must do for us every trip for both breakfast and dinner. The macadamia pineapple pancakes are simply amazing!
God, I love this family. While I was eating sand till I was 8yo, my friend Jackson is living the life chewing magic bands!! I wonder if is too late for them to adopt me, I mean, it is free to dream... Regardsssss from Brazil
We were the people you met who recommended the lobster mac and cheese and the short ribs. You were so kind to take time out of your day to talk to us for a few minutes! Thank you!!!
Those coconut meatballs are my favorite thing at Capt. Cook's! Yummy!
Rebecca McCreight Me too! Love them!
Really love the staycation vlogs 😊
It’s so interesting to get to see inside some of these places ❤️ thank you xx
Haha Jen's face when Tim was explaining they were jumping spiders that were inside is exactly how I think my face would be haha. Love the tour being from after the stay.
I am loving these Disney staycation vlogs! It makes me want to stay at all of these places!
Last year we ate at Captain Cook's, it was okay, however we then sat on the beach to the left of your cabin and watched the fireworks while eating a Dole whip, magical memories!
The Art in the bedroom over the master bedroom is Kevin Kidney and Jody Daley. They did it for the bungalows
YAY ANOTHER STAYCATION!!!!!!!!!!!
We saw the trackers at capt cooks and they are so nice!! Was afraid to ask for a picture during the social distance time but Jen was nice enough to stop what she was doing and talk to us for a few minutes while getting our food!
I actually liked the lighting when you were filming in the evening. It was relaxing and it reminded me fire light, like the glow of tiki torches. 🔥🙂
That tank behind the washer/dryer is a sewage ejector pump; we have one in our basement to run used water up to our septic tank. Cool video!
I want to stay there sooo bad!! Glad I get to live vicariously through you guys.
I loved this Resort Tour Trackers happy you stayed at A perfect Resort the Polyessian.
I’m glad you mentioned something about all the bugs and spiders... that’s a deal breaker for me. 😳 *shivers*
I really enjoy these longer videos, the world is tough right now and the longer the break.... the better.
Aww Your baby is beautiful! I've been following your channel for awhile now. Such uplifting content. Thank you!
Love you guys!! Jackson is too handsome and adoorable for words!!
I wish I had the cash to do a staycation as often as them! :P
Lauren Poland I thought they meant to say if freebies but must be .this one the furniture looks not as nice
I'm glad they are able to do them otherwise I'd have nothing of quallity to watch. I love Disney but due to travel restrictions I can't cross the border to visit right now so this is the next best thing.
@@Floridafanatic28 Me either my job won't let me go to any states that aren't low risk and I've been putting off cancelling my November trip that I booked over a year ago.
None of these stays they’ve done recently are comped. They’ve paid out of pocket for all.
Jen & Tim mentioned in previous video that they had planned to travel this year, but because of COVID-19 they had to change their plans.
Jackson can say,"his whole life was Disney..."
...and mean it. Lol!
#bestlifeever
Your family is adorable! I’m so happy for you all and the adventures you’re getting to have!From one Disney fam to another Jackson growing up with a magic band on just makes me smile ✨°o°😊. Our girls are both almost adults now and Disney is some of our happiest memories ❤️
Video reminds me, I think I need more relaxing Polynesian music in my life. Reminder of good times vacationing in Hawaii and such.
GREAT idea to do room tour at end to point out the “little stuff.” A stay here is on my bucket list too!
Yay!!! So glad you guys are having a great staycation!!! Always my favorite people!!! Poly is the best!!!
Awesome bungalow. I’m lucky too. I’ve traveled all over the world. I haven’t been on a vacation in awhile. I’m not complaining. Your trips are a fun alternative though. Jackson’s chubby cheeks are adorable. he’s so big!
I met the artist who made the tiny Mickey and Minnie painting at an art show featuring him in St. Petersburg, fl. He also made the Mickey and Minnie paintings with the old style wood sided cars on a beach, very similar to the tiny one. They’re featured in Hawaii.
Jackson is adorable! Thank you for all you do to help! Great vlog as usual!
I think your feedback about spiders is the most helpful thing you’ve ever told us. Now I don’t have to be tempted to spend so much money to stay there! 😂 the only thing I needed to hear to change my mind. 😂
Tim, that tiki guy you were asking about in the bungalows is Uti, the goddess of fishing. It was a tiki statue that sat in a canoe on the tiki room show building in Disneyland for a long time. Alongside the infamous Barker Bird.
Wow! We're currently staying in the villas right across from you! Sorry we're leaving tomorrow, would have loved to have met you!
Tip toeing around and making the room pitch black while Jackson is sleeping is only going to do more harm than good.
Start making noise and letting some light in so he doesn’t wake at the sound of a pin drop.
Hey Lacy how about you let them take care of their child the way they want to instead of telling them what to do. thanks
It's possible it's how he sleeps better. Could be a lite sleeping baby right now. When I was his age I had to sleep on soft bedding or pillow and have a fan. My mom could vaccum in front of me and i kept sleeping.
Ann and Gary Mastroberti How about you calm down, you’re the only one being rude here. Jackson is going to have a hard time sleeping as he gets older if they don’t stop creating the “perfect condition” for bedtime AND naps
Eszra 01
True.
I was the same way with the vacuum! I understand once they get him down at night, they want him to stay sleeping, but they should at least be making noise and not blocking out all the light for his naps so he gets used to sleeping under different conditions and like I said won’t wake at the sound of a pin drop as he gets older!
I’m only concerned for Jackson not trying to be rude or anything.
Ann and Gary Mastroberti they asked for advice all the time, and they take it all the time. I seriously doubt this is how they wanted Jackson to be. They would probably love it if Jackson would sleep through anything.
Bet the "whole-house toilet" macerates, as well as pumps the waste. The bungalow is basically and RV suspended over water.
I just turned on this video and omg Jackson looks so adorable in his tropical shirt!!!
Jackson doing what all kids do picking his nose 😂 x
I laughed, then screamed when I thought he was going to put his finger in his mouth! :D
Haha I literally was scrolling to see if anyone noticed that 😂
... and some adults 😒
@@Starryeyed1801, I knew a guy who would eat his eye boogies! :O
love this family it makes my day.and seeing jackson want a sweet heart.love disney and you do a good job tim.love all ways Gary uk. xx
Hi Tim Tracker, the pump noise you hear in the closet is a sewage Ejector pump, it collects and pumps out when full so you are correct, there is a pump in that closet! Love your review!
