When Disney's Polynesian Village Resort officially opened it housed 478 guest rooms and six suites. The resort's hotel rooms were housed in eight longhouses which were named:
Tahiti, Figi, Maui, Samoa, Tonga, Hawii, Bora Bora, and Balley High (which was not constructed using modular construction). In addition to the Great Ceremonial House, the resort also featured a swimming pool, putting green, and Mariana.

The first major change to come to the Polynesian resort was the construction of Luau Cove in 1972. This new covered area was used to house the Luau show, sheltering the performances from the elements.
