Guest Reports Door-Covering Bug Swarm at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

A widely shared Reddit post has gone unanswered by Disney, prompting scrutiny of the resort’s standards.

Overview

  • The guest said the inside and outside of their room door in the Tokelau longhouse were covered in live insects.
  • The account was posted to Reddit on Jan. 20 and was quickly amplified by Disney-focused media outlets.
  • Commenters shared other pest-related experiences and questioned maintenance and pest-control practices at Disney resorts.
  • The Polynesian is a flagship property with nightly rates often near $800–$1,000, which elevates expectations for cleanliness and control.
  • Disney has not issued a public comment, and there is no confirmation of any pest-control action or a room change for the guest.
