Another day, another round of Disney World construction updates you might want to know about!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
While the EPCOT Transformation may finally be complete, we’re still anticipating major projects at Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, and more. We do our best to keep up with all the latest changes, and we spotted something mysterious inside the lobby at the Polynesian hotel!
Heads up if you’re planning a visit to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort hotel soon! We’ve spotted some mysterious construction walls up inside the main lobby of the Great Ceremonial House.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
It looks like Disney has put up some construction walls around the Disney Vacation Club information center at this hotel. There is still a small desk with information about DVC along with a pin-trading board for guests to stop by and peruse, but that’s all you’ll find over here right now.
Construction walls!
Disney hasn’t shared what exactly might be going on behind the walls here, but we’re sure it’ll look nice and refreshed once everything is all done! We’re not sure how long the walls will be up, but we don’t think it will have too much of an impact on your stay at this hotel. You might have to walk around the walls a bit, but other than that everything should still be copacetic.
We’ll keep an eye on this
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has been under construction for quite some time, and this new hotel tower will soon be complete! Later this year, the Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas and Bungalows will open and you can read more here!

I really hope that they are not changing the Polynesian lobby to be bland and non-thematic, like so many other recent hotel themes. Some of their very youngest visitors might like it, but there are plenty of Gen Z and alpha visitors who prefer strong theming and the classic Disney experience, right alongside the guests who actually have money to spend. Disney seems to think that appealing to what they think the youngest people will want will increase attendance and DVC membership etc., and get rid of so those pesky ‘nostalgic’ fans, but I think so far it’s only proven that it only shot itself in the foot and not the gut. I still want to go to DIsney more than the younger people in my family, and it’s not because they prefer Universal. It’s because Disney has changed too much of what they experienced already. THEY are turned off by the disregard for THEIR nostalgia and see Disney as even more cash-grabbing than I do. Disney needs to get their market research and projections straight. But hopefully I’m completely off-base about what could be happening at the Poly 🙂
Maybe, hopefully, they are bringing back the beautiful water and garden feature that once decorated the lobby!
