…And one of those dates is October 1st, 2021. On that day, Walt Disney World is celebrating a BIG anniversary — its 50th!!
Construction is continuing over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
Beams at Polynesian
We previously noticed that the iconic beams had been removed from the Great Ceremonial House to make way for new designs on the roof. The façade of the hotel is getting a full-scale makeover, and we’re starting to see more of the new elements getting installed!
The holidays are in FULL swing at Walt Disney World, and it’s not just the theme parks that get all decked out in their festive best, the resorts get lots of love too!
Polynesian Christmas decorations
Because we love Disney decor, treats, and experiences ANYWHERE, we took a cruise around Disney World’s monorail loop to stop by the Contemporary Resort, the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and the Polynesian Village Resort to see what’s new!
As you might have heard, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting some MAJOR work done right now.
Polynesian Monorail Station
The Polynesian is set to remain closed through the summer of 2021 for refurbishments in most areas of the resort, including a Moana-themed makeover to the guest rooms. As a part of this work, the monorail station at the resort is now closed.
We’ve been keeping an eye on all of the construction going on at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.

Speaking of cupcakes, a couple of new Halloween treats caught our eye at Capt. Cook’s in Disney’s Polynesian Village resort. (And we mean that literally, because there’s one treat that actually makes eye contact with you!) [Read more…]
There are a few signature dishes at Captain Cooks in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort that are worth a trip on the monorail to enjoy. In the morning, it’s all about the Tonga Toast, but in the afternoon, the pulled pork nachos are what we’re after!
Captain Cook’s
On our visit to the Polynesian today, we swung by Captain Cooks and FREAKED when we noticed that we could order the pulled pork nachos once again!
We’re less than a week away from being able to grab a Dole Whip in the parks again, but in the meantime you’re able to pick up one at the re-opened Disney Resorts!
