A recent addition to the Grande Lakes resort's outdoor activities is a zipline adventure, with two separate courses to choose from, each with multilevel structures, poles, cables, platforms, and unique climbing elements.

"Commanding an enviable position on the Seven Seas Lagoon, and a short boat ride from the Magic Kingdom’s front gates, the South Seas–inflected Polynesian is a circa-1971 Disney original."

"You may not think you're in Fiji, but families with kids can have fun pretending in this South Pacific-themed resort directly across the lagoon from the Magic Kingdom."
