It's hard to beat the convenience of the monorail. It's probably the quickest way to get to Magic Kingdom, though the Poly does have a boat option. You can also walk over to the Ticket and Transportation center to ride the Monorail over to EPCOT. Touches of the Pacific are all over the resort. If you're going to be in the heat and humidity of Florida you might as well have a beautiful theme to match. It's all very picturesque.
Since the Poly is one of Disney World's oldest resorts many of its original rooms are just a bit bigger than some other resort rooms. I love that extra bit of space. Many of the rooms can sleep up to 5 people. We love the Moana theming! We've stayed here a few times and all the rooms have been comfortable and beautiful. Though where your room is located on the resort can make a big difference as to which amenities you will be close to. We haven't stayed in the new tower yet, but the rooms look great from what we have seen, though some of the new rooms sleep only 4.
The breakfast food options are pretty standard but you're mostly there to meet Stitch, Lilo, Mickey, and Pluto. Dinner on the other hand has some great eats! We loved the Shrimp and Steak. The noodles are a classic. And there is no way you can skip the Ohana Bread Pudding!
The main pool area is the Lava Pool. We absolutely love this pool, though it can get crowded. There's a great little water slide that comes down the side of the volcano. We usual reserve a break day when we are stay here to take advantage of the Lava Pool. It's pretty easy to order some food and drinks from the waiters that come around. It makes for a pretty relaxing way to spend an off day on your Disney vacation.
We've even splurged to stay Club Level. The food in the Club Level lounge was AMAZING! Every time they brought out new food I was simply impressed with the available options.

If you've never been to Trader Sam's, just go! Totally worth the reservation. With a fun list of specialty cocktails that will often trigger chanting and magical tiki fun, you can't go wrong! Plus they have some absolutely delicious food items. I had to have the Piranha Pool cocktail in it's novelty cup because it was too cool not to. Angie had some great Ramen, Niko went with some Tempura Shrimp, and Zoey had the Pupu Platter which basically came with a bunch of appetizer type items. She loved it! We finished off with Coconut cake, which was fabulous.
Our room was pretty nice and a good size. I loved the Castle carving that extended over the beds. Though I do feel the Mickey Mouse Hand sconces in the bathroom were a little much. We really felt there wasn't enough storage in the room. There were only 3 smallish drawers and a closet for the 4 of us, but we made due. The Bathroom was poorly lit. Angie said she felt like she was showering in a cave. Here's a better look at some of the finer details of the room. I think some of the best areas of the Disneyland Hotel are it's outside spaces! The Monorail Waterslides and the Pool area are spectacular. Lots of space to find seating, pools are big and spacious. Overall beautiful areas to sit around and enjoy the California weather.
And what Hotel would be complete without a couple of gift shops. Even the Lobby is cute with it's little Tea Cup Seats. There is nothing more ICONIC than walking under the Mickey's Sorcerer Hat to get to Downtown Disney. Plus there's always decor for the Holidays, since we were there around Spring Break there was a Saint Patrick's Day Topiary.
