That would be surprisingly shocking unless is like a few year's down we made a mistake kind of thing.

Why, It wasn't dropped because it was bad or didn't draw? It was a space thing that the venue is no longer

Sadly it’s gone and not likely coming back. Unfortunately being outdoors and weather dependent complicated things all too often. I think WDW was ok seeing it go away in favor of more DVC. Definitely a shame to lose something unique though.

I like the Moana figure and boat but I hope that’s not it. The existing one at the Poly is excellent. I hope there’s more along those lines to go with what’s seen here.

I see, so instead letting folks know that it's likely to be moved over and speculation when it would open again maybe they will focus on it once after the Poly Tower is completed! Interesting Interesting. A surprise announcement commenced. Seems obvious it was making money!

The fact that they were cutting entertainment everywhere you'd be surprise why this one when with this one your making in money from dinner shows vs say the drummers from Japan or the Grand Floridian Orchestra! It's always possible they want to wait and bring it back in a big surprising way, it brought culture and special vibes, it doesn't seem to matter to them Universal still has theirs.

Sadly it seems that all those special magical experiences are gone forever... Who has time to look up from their phones to see entertainment?? I have to book a reservation to buy a corn dog! LOL
I do lament the loss of the little things like unexpected entertainment a magical experience.

Why go to WDW and look at your phone all day. Stay home save your money and look at u-tube videos of WDW all day long --whats the difference

This is like saying cancel fireworks because no one has time to look up.

That's pretty much the joke of it... as they keep refining the experience to have all of our moments planned and on a schedule kept in our phones, we are all becoming tied to our screens... And I think a lot of people responding to the NYT article have said the same thing...

Haven’t seen this reported.
A fitness centre has been confirmed. Also outdoor viewing platforms with views to MK.
Also units on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 7th & 9th (penthouse level) have been declared. No info yet on sales.
Polynesian Island Tower Units Declared Into Condo Association | DVCNews.com - The essential Disney Vacation Club resource!
In a move that immediately precedes the start of point sales, Disney Vacation Club has declared the first Island Tower rooms into the condo association for Disndvcnews.com
Awesome! A gym is the only thing that made sense for the space so it's great to see confirmation.

As someone native to the Pacific who has lived in Polynesia for most of their life, I really wish there was more of an attempt at actually emulating/borrowing elements from traditional Polynesian architecture! It just feels so bland. Aulani was a great start, I wish they had attempted something with a similar effect here.
Funnily enough, the original Polynesian buildings are actually not in a traditional Islander style. Rather, they seem to be based on the plantation homes built by Europeans and Americans during the 19th and early 20th centuries in the Pacific (but not exclusively). The roofline and wide verandas are very derivative of this style.

I have taken the monorail at night. The rooms are being furnished and decorated and there appears to have been a lot of progress on the interior.

I know this was posted earlier, but I'm too lazy to scroll through 160-odd pages. Can somebody post the site plan for the towers' parking lot?
On a possibly related note, what's all the construction for along Floridian Way, directly across from the tower site? Is that parking? Infrastructure?

I referenced the plans here to highlight the pathway around the tower, but it shows the parking layout as well.

The PDF cover page gives a date of March 15, 2023 so some changes may have been made but that is core of what road construction you are seeing.
