The Beaches of Disney World
Polynesian Resort Beach

Disney's Polynesian Resort Beach

Some families may find it difficult to plan a vacation to Florida because of differing interests. Spending relaxing days at the beach is a dream vacation for some, but others would rather spend their time being entertained at one of Central Florida's major theme parks. If you find yourself in that dilemma when planning your next vacation, why not plan to do both? You may already know that Disney World Resort is Florida's number one vacation destination, but did you know that Disney World also has beaches? It sure does!

Although Disney World is located in the middle of the state instead of on the coast, you can still get sand between your toes. In fact, tucked away in some of Disney World's finest resorts are beautiful white-sand, lakeside beaches. Alright, so there isn't salt air and surf; and, you may have to get in the pool to cool off... but, the beaches are still great places to relax and catch some rays.

A stay at any of the following resorts, along with Magic Your Way tickets, will give you the best of both worlds — access to Disney's four theme parks and wonderful beaches too.
