Construction Update: DIsney’s Polynesian Village Resort
If you’ve been following along with us here at MickeyBlog, you may have seen the announcement that Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is reopening to overnight guests start on July 19th.
Earlier today, we came to you LIVE from ‘Ohana which just reopened for breakfast.
Inside the Great Ceremonial House where we dined this morning you’d be hard pressed to tell that construction is going on.
However, outside it’s a slightly different story.
Though all of the Moana-themed guest rooms are completed, another HUGE aspect of the Poly refurb was the building of a new port cochere and enhancing the existing monorail platform.
Though Disney decided to open up the resort next week, they will do so with the new entrance of the property still incomplete.
Guest checking in will instead be instructed to enter via a side entrance.
This also means that monorail service WILL NOT be available at this property for the foreseeable future.
Instead guests will need to rely on getting to the parks via boat or bus.
We’ve been following this construction closely and there is still much work to be done.
As you can see there is now pavement laid under the porte cochere.
Roofing also needs to be laid both over the Porte Cochere A-Frame and the monorail platform.
From the parking lot it is evident how much of a construction area the front of the Poly is.
Once completed, we have no doubt that these changes will give the Polynesian Resort the grand entrance that it deserves.
It’s just not going to come as quick as guests would have hoped.
This is a story that we’ll continue to follow closely.
