I haven't found the answer to this yet, though it likely is in this thread somewhere....We are the first week of May and I'd like to know if Ohana or Kona will be effected at all as we have ressies at both.
I believe 'Ohana and Kona will be open the first week of May (we have ressies at both as well).
For starters, Captain Cook's will be closed then and it seems unlikely to me that they'd close either 'Ohana or Kona while CC's is closed.
It also seems to me that they are focusing on first refurbing the lower level of the GCH and then later tackling the upper level. In that regard, the lobby water feature is apparently scheduled to be ripped out any day now
. They are also going to be working on refurbing the check-in desk area. Plus, I haven't heard anything specific about any timing for 'Ohana and Kona closing (if they were closing in May, I'd think Tikiman would have heard something or someone would have at least heard something from CM's in those restaurants).
When I booked the Poly for early May, I knew it was a gamble and that we'd be dealing with some construction. In that regard, I had four hopes:
1. 'Ohana and Kona would be open
2. The Volcano Pool would be open (and the area between the GCH and beach not torn up)
3. The scheduled Monorail maintenance (11:30am-7pm) would be over
4. The water feature would still be in the GCH lobby.
I knew we'd be really lucky to have all four hopes realized. I guess 3 out of 4 isn't too bad.
trying to get away from it! LOL
