Construction Update at the Polynesian: May 21, 2014

Not too many substantive changes this week, but here we go.

Cabanas

Walls Around the Water Feature

More walls are sprouting up around the central water feature. It seems Disney is trying to acclimate people to the idea that the feature will soon be entirely obscured gradually.

The view from the upper level is now entirely walled off.

And there is now one wall on the lower level, obstructing the view from the rear entrance.

The wall that obstructs the former Moana Mickey Arcade and Captain Cook’s has been decorated with a red pattern, a Lilo and Stitch cutout, and images of Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, announced earlier this month. Presumably, this will be the site of the new lounge.

Club Disney sign revealed, walkway opened.

The walkway in front of the former Neverland Club, now Club Disney, has been reopened and the new signage has been uncovered. The Neverland Club, now Club Disney, is expected to reopen in mid-June. A walkway adjacent has been closed and is being repaved.

Just a slight change this week as far as the map is concerned: the opening of the Club Disney walkway and closure of its adjacent walkway.
