I can only answer about Rapa Nui - that where we stayed. If you are on the ground floor you get a patio, we were upstairs so we had a balcony. It is very close to the TTA (which is good), but you hear no noise from it.
The Tomorrowland Transit Authority runs to Polyneasian now? COOL! :sohappy: :lol:
Just teasing. Rapa Nui and Tahiti are probably closest to the TTC but several of the buildings are along the monorail line so that's good to know that there is minimal noise.
Aotearoa, Fiji, Rarotonga, Samoa, Tokelau, and Rapa Nui are totally non-smoking. The rest are a mix I think. Tonga and Hawaii are both concierge suites.
The three newer buildings have real balconies on all floors; Tokelau, Tahiti, Rapa Nui. All the others have balconies on the top floor only. The ground floor has a patio and thejust a window on the second floor.
By the time you travel, rumors are the Aoteraroa and the concierge suites will have converted to the new rooms for sure. Other longhouses are anybodies guess.
There is a GREAT resourse online for the Polynesian Resort.

Show's all the details, pros and cons or each building along with some rehab info. According to this sites author, the schedule has been pushed back some and it's doubtful the rumored target of completion by July 2006 will be met.
