A Walk in the Park: WDW Edition - Disney's Polynesian Village Resort

By Krista Joy




Back in May of 2014, Walt Disney World announced plans for a name change and some pretty major enhancements to one of its most iconic Magic Kingdom resorts. Now re-branded as Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, the location already shows signs of a new level of detail that only Disney can deliver. A major phase of the renovation has already been completed. Join us as we have a look at the new lobby in this week's A Walk in the Park: WDW Edition article...

The lobby is now so much more open and modern - but the wonderful musty smell of the previous fountain definitely still remains. Once the Nanea Volcano pool area is completed, you will be able to see it along with an extensive view of the Seven Seas Lagoon - without even stepping foot out of this gorgeous lobby. There's so much more to come for the Village, including an aquatic playground, a new hot tub with views of the Magic Kingdom, a Polynesian Pool Bar and Grill, and of course Trader Sam's Grog Grotto! For now though, it is just wonderful to get a taste of what is to come when you breeze into this beautiful new area.

  1. Very nice but they had something much more beautiful and unique there before. I wish they hadn't destroyed that wonderful waterfall atrium.
