…And one of those dates is October 1st, 2021. On that day, Walt Disney World is celebrating a BIG anniversary — its 50th!!
There’s nothing quite like Disney World during the holiday season!
Grand Floridian Christmas decorations
Disney decorates the parks and resorts to make us feel warm, cozy, holly, and jolly — all at the same time! So far this holiday season, we’ve seen decor pop up at a number of resorts — Grand Floridian, Wilderness Lodge, Animal Kingdom Lodge, and several others. Now we can add two more resorts to the list because the halls are decked at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort!
We have seen a LOT of Olu Mel at Walt Disney World’s Polynesian Resort lately.

Entrance Construction
The resort is currently undergoing a big Moana– themed refurbishment, and we’ve been following a lot of the construction progress!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has served up some iconic drinks over the years, including the Lapu Lapu from Tambu Lounge, and of course the wide array of legendary libations at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto.

Over at Barefoot Pool Bar, however, we think we just discovered another drink to enter the Polynesian Hall of Fame, and it even came with a fun holiday twist!
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.

Various changes are set take to place around the hotel as it undergoes refurbishment and its guest rooms get a Moana-inspired makeover. As a result of the construction, the monorail station at the Polynesian will be closing temporarily later this year.

Polynesian Construction
Disney postponed reopening much of the resort in order to finish construction projects on guest rooms, the main lobby, and the entryway. The guest rooms will receive a new Moana-inspired theme and the concept art for the massive entryway overhaul was released recently. We’ve been stopping by the resort frequently to see the construction progress and how it is affecting visiting guests.
The cuts to entertainment at Walt Disney World’s resorts just keep on coming.
