Hi there, Joni! Welcome back to planDisney! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop back by and allowing us to help you plan another visit to Walt Disney World Resort!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is a fan favorite and it's not terribly difficult to tell why! This classic resort opened its doors in 1971 and has continued to invite Guests back to experience all of its magic across the decades. Many Guests love the relaxed South Pacific theming found across the resort that can be seen in the lush landscaping, sandy beaches, and gorgeous architecture. Additionally, this resort is just a short distance from the
Magic Kingdom!
Beginning last year,
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort began a resort-wide re-theming that would offer new modern touches while also honoring the classic feel of this resort. In the Guest rooms, you will now find many different details and patterns inspired by the Walt Disney Animation Studios film, “Moana”, as well as a beautiful new color palette. This colorful new look provides the perfect balance between refreshment and relaxation during your downtime in the Guest rooms!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is currently anticipated to re-open in late July 2021 once all of the updates are completed. While there has been no official re-opening date for the
monorail, it is fairly likely that the monorail station at this resort will also begin running at this time. However, I do highly recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog website for any and all updates pertaining to the re-opening timeline at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
I hope you are able to plan a practically perfect visit to Walt Disney World Resort next year! Please let us know if we can provide any assistance along the way!
