Resort Thread Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT

[bcuinohio]

Noted... Hopefully it will work for us. It's not a big deal if they find out at the gate. We are just hoping to delay it as long as we can. Thanks for the info!

Maybe write a note for the guard telling them about the surprise and hand it to them when arriving.

What a great idea! You can hand it to them with your photo ID.

Great idea, thanks!

The last few times we’ve checked in, our MBs didn’t work for entering the parking lot on arrival, even though we’d checked in online. We had to go to the guard. Sure would’ve nice if they’ve changed it so that we didn’t!

It did work for us in April. However, with Disney IT I can certainly imagine that it doesn’t always work.

I have no idea why that posted twice. Sorry

Do you think booking a pool/Marina view room would be safe from “construction view”?

We are hoping to book CL for June 2023. Is the Hawaii long house near the construction?

The only drawback is the marina view part of pool/marina view is in the Fiji building. But that faces away from construction it’s just that the building is close to the construction zone. The only other building with that view is Samoa which is nearly in the middle of the resort with views of the quiet pool or the volcano pool.

Short answer is that you won’t be looking at construction.

I personally have not seen a report from anyone that has had a construction facing room yet. I've wondered if DIsney would in fact put guests in some of those rooms (construction fencing is literally right up against sides of Aoteraoa, Fiji, and a bit of Tuvalu) but I guess they are/will, TBD.

In the Poly FB group, someone just this week posted this view from their standard room. Our trip is in April 2023 and I would be really unhappy with this view (as I think anyone would be, especially at the cash rate). I’m also unhappy with even having to worry that this could be a real possibility, ugh.

My how they have ruined the coziness of the poly. This is just sad, even when finished. That poly lobby is going to have massive amounts of people going on the monorail also

That is unacceptable. I would be livid.

We have both the Poly standard and Contemporary main bldg booked right now and still hadn’t decided which one to cancel, I think that photo of a standard view just helped us decide

Did you book the Moana rooms or the DVC side (deluxe suite)? We booked the standard view deluxe suite (paid cash) and are looking forward to it.

Not the DVC villa side unfortunately. We do usually stay in the standard view deluxe studio, but no availability for our dates.

How far are you from travelling? Keep checking, I saw availability off and on for the Moana rooms and DVC suite (we need the 2 bathrooms).

We will be there over the Xmas break, I’m still checking every day, in hopes someone cancels though!

In a week or so you will probably see openings when payment is due.

I hope you get what you’re looking for.

Stopped at Poly after Epcot and walked to GF. The new walkway seems long. I might have popped up stairs of Aotearoa! Here is construction view. I could not tell if people in rooms facing fences
