Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Merchandise Update
Boutiki
Your baking or cooking is about to get a whole lot more magical with one of the cutest spatulas we’ve seen at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! Over at Boutiki, you can find the Cinderella Castle Spatula to use while you’re making some Mickey Waffles or flipping a few pancakes!
The top of the rubber spatula is shaped like the Cinderella Castle which seems a bit hard to use considering the many points and edges…
…and it can be yours for $14.99! There’s also a matching Cinderella Castle sponge.
We’re ready to use this during our next day of Disney baking and recipe making!
Disney, we’re going to need all of these kitchen items ASAP!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Construction Update
Monorail
Many parts of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort will remain closed as the huge overhaul refurbishment takes place at the hotel. The Monorail closed back in November as Disney works to add changes to guests’ experiences visiting Disney World.
Construction continues at the Monorail station with extra beams, poles, and plywood as a green tarp surrounds the area. And, we are so hyped to see the finished and updated product when it’s done!
But, that isn’t the only construction happening at Disney World… .
Room Renovation
The rooms all around the resort are finally getting their Moana makeover! (Eeep!) When the rooms are complete, they will include ““a move to a Pacific Ocean-inspired color palette as well as details, patterns and textures from Disney’s Moana.”
We aren’t entirely sure what will be included in each of the rooms around the Polynesian, but we hope to see some swirling patterns, themed textures, and a tropical color palette.
Cast Members inside the resort have already gotten a Moana inspired makeover with new aprons, but we spotted fences and scaffolding surround the guest rooms as construction moves forward.
The resort is currently scheduled to reopen in the summer with the new, gorgeous rooms and the other enhancements that will be appearing all around the area.
We can’t wait to see the finished product!

They might as well change the name completely to Moana’s Land. The true “Polynesian
