Hawaii vs. Tahiti at Polynesian

[captainkidd]

We currently have a theme park view room booked at Tahiti. I wanted Tahiti as we'd be guaranteed a balcony along with one of the larger rooms. However, now I'm reading that the view from these rooms overlooks an island, plus it's a bit of a hike from the pools and GCH.

Hawaii, theme park view, would be about $2,000 more for 8 nights. Is it worth it? Is the view that much better? The rooms in Hawaii are smaller and I don't care much for Club Level. I just want a really nice view of the Magic Kingdom and lagoon.

We were once assigned the Theme Park view room in Aortearoa (yes we paid for Theme Park view it was not an "upgrade"). You CAN see the castle but you can only see about 1/8 of the lagoon, it was not worth the money. We complained and were moved thank goodness. I think they should re-classify that room.

Well technically the TPV rooms get that category if you can stand in the middle of the room and see the castle with nothing blocking it. TPV rooms are not always the best lagoon views.
