Ok thanks! Are there interior halls in the longhouses or are they like motels?There are no guest rooms in the main building at the Poly. But there are a few buildings where the walk outside to get to the lobby, would be minimal. You could make your request now by calling it in to Disney or your TA - whoever you made the reservation through.
I spit water out reading this one... smart alec..lolYou seriously would not want a room in the GCH. It is loud and constantly crowded.
Which standard longhouse is closest to GCH & the ferryboat launch?
I was actually 100% serious. The traffic in and through that building would make it wildly unattractive as a place to sleep. The luggage trucks and ME out front all night, the sounds from the Tiki Terrace, the crowds mulling around waiting for 'Ohana...I spit water out reading this one... smart alec..lol
Agreed it was the busiest lobby I’ve visited at WDW, especially in the evenings.I was actually 100% serious.

"We were just wandering around while waiting for our pager to go off" would be the inevitable explanation for the people drinking in your hallway, honestly.Agreed it was the busiest lobby I’ve visited at WDW, especially in the evenings.
Rarotonga is closest to GCH. Have a look at Resort map to get an idea of resort layout. There’s a side door off lobby that is only 2 steps from that longhouse. The resort ferry dock is on the other side of the marina. As someone posted Aoatearoa is on the other side of the GCH so closer to ferry, but further away from the pools.Which standard longhouse is closest to GCH & the ferryboat launch?
Aoatearoa is also convenient.

We loved the location and views from Aoatearoa with one caveat, with the bar being there now it's annoying to try to get down that hallway to your building with the loud somewhat drunk bunch waiting to get in packed in that hallway and hanging out outside. It's disturbing late at night coming back to your room with sleeply littles with all that loudness and yes, some cursing. Maybe it was because it was somewhat new last time we went and they've figured out how to corral the masses now but it was very unpleasant on our last trip. Big turn off. So if it hasn't changed you'll want a different longhouse. I wish with all my heart they would have constructed a stand alone building on property for that place.
