FTI tikiman is reporting that the volcano pool is going to be closed for an undetermiined amound of time starting in Jan. No specific info on what is happening.
I know there was some talk of Sept closing but that seems to be untrue at this point? I will post if I read anything else about this. Anyone have anymore onformation on the pool situation?
You could call poly direct and ask , that will give you some extra piece of mind.
"Its All About the Mouse Travel" Facebook page posted a list of closures on Monday. It says the volcano pool will be closed 9/9/13 - 9/20/13. I have not seen this anywhere else. Can anyone confirm this? We are booked during those dates, and this would be a show stopper for us. Half of the reason my kids want to go to WDW is to stay at the Polynesian, and swim in the volcano pool. Hoping it is not true!
Here is the big question everyone wants to know.
I have always wanted to stay at the Polynesian and decided to bite the bullet and take the family next year (Sept 2014).
Well now it looks like they will be doing construction and I am worried this will affect our enjoyment of the hotel.
What would you guys do?
Scratch plans for the Polynesian and book elsewhere?
If so what hotel would you recommend?
Take a chance and hope the construction will not be that bad?
We are a family of 4, but will have one of my son's friens with us. I picked the Polynesian because of the room size, location and atmosphere.
HELP!!
Just got off the phone with Guest Services and they confirmed that the Volcano Pool would be closed in September!

I called yesterday and just now. They told me that they don't see it being closed. They even gave me a # for the Poly and they said that there is a pool schedule for September for the volcano pool. Did you call the (407) wdwdisney #?
I have been planning this trip for a year. I have been showing the kids pictures of the volcano pool.
I just reached out and viewed the refurbishment information for travel agents for Disney and it looks like they do have the Volcano Pool under refurbishment for 9/02/2013 to 9/20/13. Would your dates fall into this range? Hopefully this won't affect your stay at the Poly!!
Yes. Our dates fall into this. Disney keeps saying that the pool is open in September. I saw it on a travel agent page and on wdw info with a pool closure for September. Disney keeps saying that you only can rely on what disney says, not a travel agent. My boys want slides. We stayed at the CBR in may and they loved the pool. We want to stay on the monorail and have all our dining set up at the poly. It's going to be a huge disappointment if the pool is closed. It will not be convenient to take the boys to the GF to use the pool with slides. That will take too much time. I have read that they let you use the pool at the GF when the volcano pool is closed. I have talked this resort up for a year. We made the reservation last September. I just want time to make a change if I need to, but we really wanted to stay at the Poly. However, is it worth the money not to be able to enjoy the pool?
