food IS a theme park
As you might have heard, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting some MAJOR work done right now.
Polynesian Monorail Station
The Polynesian is set to remain closed through the summer of 2021 for refurbishments in most areas of the resort, including a Moana-themed makeover to the guest rooms. As a part of this work, the monorail station at the resort is now closed.
We’ve been keeping an eye on all of the construction going on at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.

There are LOTS of hotel rooms in Disney World…as in more than 36,000 hotel rooms. Yowza. And yes, some of those are better than others.
Grand Floridian Lobby
Some of the Disney World resorts sport some pretty crazy rooms. Ever seen those Bungalows at the Polynesian? Yeah, those cost about $3 grand PER NIGHT, sometimes more. There are some hotel rooms though that are actually worth the price of the upgrade. Let’s take a tour and we’ll tell you why!
Last fall we saw Disney World’s Refillable Mugs, Minnie Ears, and many popular park snack and beverage options receive minor prices increases.

That was just the tip of the tiny price increase iceberg! Over the last few weeks, we’ve spotted several small price hikes.
