Apologies if I missed these details, haven't been good at keeping up lately:

Any word on Tusker House reopening date yet?
Is Ohana expected to open with Poly in July?

No date yet for Tusker. Just “This summer” was announced by DPB HERE.

But this was posted by Tikiman.... I did not post it, since it is not posted on any other website, but I will share since he seems to be the go-to for all things Poly. I believe @Farro originally posted this on the Poly board.




**Again - this was not posted anywhere else or reported on by Disney except for his Facebook page.

Okay thanks I see the post that states: 'Ohana will be back open in July along with the other resort renovations.

Then I see a lot of comments asking how he knows this, or where he heard it and no response Hoping it's true and confirmed soon!

I hope it’s true as well!! I’m sure he has his sources that he can’t reveal!! At least if it is true, we can say we knew it all along!

Any chances of soft opening of Ohana in June? Lol.. if they do would that be walk-up list?

Back when I still drank alcohol, I quite liked the Beverly and gin drink they served at the Coca-Cola store in Disney Springs.

Plus, Beverly serves an important purpose for when you bring new WDW visitors along: "Here, you have to try this!"

Is it similar to tonic water?

Is it similar to tonic water?

Not at all. It’s very bitter. I like to say a piece of my soul dies every time I drink it. I can’t wait for that experience again.

Is it similar to tonic water?

I think it's similar to unsweetened quinine in a lot of ways. It has the bitter backbone of tonic water, but isn't really sweetened to compensate. It's not something I would choose to drink myself.

Given the recent opening we have been seeing, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect/hope that 'Ohana opens along with the hotel portion of the resort. We are staying DVC there in June, which I think will be too soon.
