Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

[TJA]

I could've sworn I saw an updated Hawaii room chart on Tikiman's site. I thought it was updated because it listed all the 1st floor rooms as LV now (some/most used to be TPV) on the non-GV side, of course. Maybe I can post a link to where I saw this. I remember checking it because I was debating if I should book a TPV or LV.

Edit to add: Well I couldn't find a completely updated chart, but in my case what I had found earlier helped me make my decision. The chart is current enough that none of the 1st floor rooms are TPV anymore, and then he put a note in there that the GV rooms were turned back into LV rooms after the construction walls came down on March 31, 2015. So it was enough info for me to know I couldn't risk booking a GV room and requesting to be on the LV side.

Update 2015: Some of the rooms on the lagoon side that were converted over to garden view on the ground level were switched back to Lagoon view in 2015 after the construction walls came down March 31. THe floor plan to the left needs to be updated.

Someone posted this site earlier and I have found it helpful. Not sure how current it is as bungalows not present.

Aloha everyone!

Does anyone know of an updated map of the Hawaii building that shows which specific rooms on the lagoon side are lagoon view and which rooms are theme park view? Tikiman hasn't updated his map yet.

Also, has anyone stayed Club Level recently? If so, how was the service and offerings? How were the front desk (in the Hawaii building) CMs??

Thanks!

Curious as well. We'll be staying CL in November!

I have been looking for the same thing. I was told by the Resort that the Bungalows are numbered 7001 - 7020. The 7001 Bungalow is the closest to the pool and first in line of the 13 Bungalows The numbering continues with 7014 in the second cluster of Bungalows. I have not been able to read a "trip report" of them and plan to do that myself when I check in next Friday. Earlier in this thread, I offered to do "live" reporting of the Bungalow and the Resort while I'm there. Let me know if there is anything that you would like to know and I'll check iot out

If you could post any info about current state of construction around the east pool that'd be great. Also, if you here anything from any of the CM's about any other construction projects the rest of the year, please report!
the only they have officially said is that the east pool is being worked on but tikiman has eluded to other permits being pulled and other work around the whole resort but he won't give any more details.

We are arriving at the Poly in the early morning hours of the 16th. I am planning to send an Amazon Pantry Prime box to the resort. Has anyone done this recently and how far in advance did you order. I was planning to pull the trigger to order on May 11th.

So, did you order the Pantry Prime Box? You arrive the day after tomorrow, right? Have they received the shipment? Did the address work as planned? We are ordering ours today and arrive next Friday. They say 4-5 days for delivery. Thanks

Will do. Here's my plan.....

1 - status and extent of construction to east pool area
2 - specific room review of our Bungalow
3 - review of the Bungalow area (access, layout, numbering, distance to/from various points, etc)
4 - review of Trader Sam's Grotto
5 - review of new main pool
6 - review of the Barefoot Pool Bar

Yes, I would like to know if they started digging up the east pool yet and if so, how is the noise level?

I'll try to take a video (with sound) and post it.

Could you also take note of the state of the Garden View rooms outside of the Hawaii building? I just saw the picture with the new path but I'm curious if grass will be added soon! Thanks!

East pool was reported as still open today.

 

[ThistleMae]

Really, the East Pool is still open...Wow! I guess they are off to a late start, either that or they are still tinkering with the other unresolved issues from the Lava Pool and Hot Tub area! This is my first Poly stay and I'm sad there is so much going on but......I chose not to change so whatever it is, it is. I will still enjoy my Magical Vacation!

Thank you so much for offering to do all of this on vacation. I'm not staying at the Poly this year but I'm very curious about the state of the resort. And I plan a trip to Trader Sam's Grotto, for sure.

You're welcome. This vacation for us is a little different, we're not going to the parks this trip. We plan to enjoy the Bungalow and have a relaxing time at the Resort. I should have plenty of time to check things out

 

[johnsonet]

I am a bit out of the loop on the resort these days. I do know that TS is open; Lava pool is open; quiet pool will be closing... I am unaware of longhouse situation. What construction remains?
