Resort Thread Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT

[lexybear]

We just returned from our first Poly stay. We were in a regular room, resort view. Our room had the sofa bed (and I am pretty sure all rooms do even though that room description doesn't say it has it). Hope your trip is as magical as ours was!

I'm glad to hear you had such a great trip! What building were you guys in? I requested rarotonga and a balcony. Fingers crossed

Rarotonga is a great longhouse. Stayed there twice.

Latest parking lot/entrance reconfiguration work from the sky courtesy of user @bioreconstruct on X. Link here.

Lines added by me and are approximate.

A lot going on with this project and still a long way to go. At left, ongoing Floridian Way widening (to four lanes) and reconfiguration). A traffic circle will eventually be in approximately the larger red circle area.

For the new Poly entrance, if you zoom in you can see concrete has been poured for the new security guard house (outlined in red), and you can start to see the outline of what will be the new guest entrance roadway (outlined in yellow).

The current Poly entrance will eventually be bus only, with additional bus stops and a turnaround added - generally the red outline.

Seems like the phasing of the work is to get the new guest entrance complete then they'll move on to the old entrance/bus area. Still a ways to go here with the Floridian Way traffic circle and Seven Seas Drive eventually being re-routed/re-configured partially through the CM parking area to intersect with the traffic circle.

Plans from the stormwater permits also attached for reference.

They still have combos. We had one in May.

Looks like my mom is going to be selling our Boardwalk and Old Key West points and picking up 400 polynesian points. Always loved the resort and excited to make it our home resort moving forward.

Considering club level at the Poly this Christmas! It will be a one time splurge, just looking for a magical time!

Does anyone know what time coffee is served in the morning? We are early risers, so early coffee is definitely important to us. Is it 6:30 am?

Also, comparing theme park view vs water view at club level, is there a noticeable difference in the view? The description is the seven seas lagoon, so can't I get a peek of Magic Kingdom in a water view too?

CL offers Coffee at 7 AM when it opens for service. You do have the ability to make coffee in your room before 7 AM. You can get Coffee at 6:30 a.m. at the Kona Island counter , which is located on the 2nd floor of the Great Ceremonial House.

ETA: alternative Coffee location at 6:30 AM
