Those are the lights for the Volcano pool. Have nothing to do with the new DVC building.

I was looking at the pictures today and it reminded me more of oriented strand boards at first. Must have just been my eyes.

Shhhhh, don't let get facts get in the way when someone wants to trash a Disney project.
Disney has shared a look at the Wailulu Bar & Grill menu:

Dining Menu

My first impression is that it's Kona 2: Electric Boogaloo. Outside of sushi they're difficult to distinguish and even have similar prices. The menus could be swapped and no one would bat an eye.
Poke
Kona ($22) Passion Fruit Boba, Lotus Root, Yuzu Mayonnaise, Tuna
Wailulu ($22) Pickled Cucumbers, Vegetables, Spicy Poke Sauce, Macadamia Nuts with protein choice
Wings
Kona ($15) Sticky Mirin-Teriyaki Wing Sauce
Wailulu ($15) Salt-cured Green Cabbage, Furikake, Jicama Slaw, Pineapple Chips
Perhaps this a good opportunity to essentially expand the Kona menu in a new location and then see what flavors and dishes people respond to the most before having the "best of" at Wailulu and converting Kona into a signature dining restaurant, something Poly is missing.

Excellent photography, clear, crisp and shows construction details. As for the building, it's a minimally themed high rise. No wow, oooh or aah actually kind of simple not particularly impressive.A few more photos:

Wasn't sure if the complaints have now moved on to the Polynesian Village resort and something that has been there for years.

Well it is obvious that Mr. Park Hopper has always hated the Poly pool since those lights have been there forever.
Or he just finds every reason to complain about anything and everything Disney.

Is anyone else concerned that the Tower doesn’t have its own quick service? Captain Cook’s is pretty small.

I certainly think the entire area is starting to look much better but dining and the no slide/size of the pool area would be a concern for me. The OG poly will get very busy and crowded.
