Pre-Trip Report: Mike’s Nearly Perfect Polynesian Vacation (March 2026)

Mike and his family are planning a trip to their home DVC resort, the Polynesian! As DVC members and Annual Passholders, this family of three are frequent WDW guests. This trip will be a little different because daughter Madison was recently diagnosed with Celiac, so this will be their first time exploring the parks and paying attention to all the gluten free options for her. She’s also just passed 40 inches and may be able to ride Rise of the Resistance for the first time! In addition to all the usual fun, Mike has gifted his wife Christina a spa treatment at the Grand Floridian Spa.
