How did kids survive on long vacation before the 80s? I use to spend many weeks at a time in Hawaii as a kid and I can’t say I set foot inside an arcade, in fact I don’t even know if there was an arcade. I have never used the one at the Polynesian. Now if we can just get everyone to put down...

I'm told the arcade will not come back there or anywhere else on property.

As Steve mentioned the monorail reduced hours have nothing to do with Polynesian construction. There is no information available that says if or when the monorail would be affected by construction at the Polynesian at this point but construction will continue until late 2015.

Actually a crane is onsite now putting the roofs on the bungalows. This will continue for a while. Also work to the parking lot, Rapa Nui and Tahiti are inside the monorail track and at times may require them to stop the monorail operation.

I was told the outside patio area next to Captain Cook's.

Yes. The schedule says it may be open by next February.

The plans we saw show them connecting. I don't think it has to do with them connecting now because the door looks to be in a different location (closer to the main door).

Looks like the studios will have a connecting door so you could get two of them.

I wanted a one bedroom but if it comes true about them telling me they will all be converted to Studios I will have to see if it is worth it. They will be almost 100 sqft bigger than the studios at the GF so I guess they will have a lot of room to work with.

It is strange and it may be that they will not call them that. Maybe the guys working on the project don't have the correct name for the catagory or maybe Disney is just changing it up on us. They are unique so it maybe they will be grand not for their size but for their uniqueness. We all know...

Renovations to the GCH started last month but much of it is behind the scenes. They are hitting some delays but things will change very soon in the lobby. They should be walling off the waterfall and the kids area soon to put up a temporary check in location. Once the temp location is completed...

Ha…thanks :) I don’t see them putting anything in but I just figured if they did anything they would have a monitor with some digital animation showing water and creatures like they do with the ship animated portholes. No one involved with the project has even suggested they will do anything...

I’m not one of those people that think building over the water was a bad idea. I think it gives you great views of the lake and Magic Kingdom but I don’t see why you would take up square footage by cutting a hole in the floor to put a window to look at lake water. Also it does not look like...

I guess we will know by next year but even with them being 2 bedrooms they are still calling them Grand Villas. I don't know enough about DVC but I'm guessing Disney can call them anything they want. Does it say that a Grand Villa has to be more than 2 bedrooms or has it just been that way up to...

To look at what?

Here is the concept model for the DVC bungalows.

Just like their model for Night Kingdom (yes it was a real project and not far from construction starting), they do not need to market to the masses, they just need to get a few with lots of money to throw around to pay the very high price.

I believe those pilings are for the continued construction of the bungalows. I don’t think they have installed the pilings for the bungalows over in front of Tahiti. There will be 20 of these when they are done. There are concept art and models of the DVC expansion for the Polynesian but they...

That is about right from what I was told. I was also told there will be no access to even the walkways out to the bungalows unless you have a reservation in one. There is a lot of talk behind the scenes but nothing set in stone but I believe that many want to make much of the resort off limits...

I'm sure your right. That was the first time I had ever been bitten that much but I was on the water at night. I know even back home around that time of year if I am by the water's edge at night I have been eaten alive. One time I had welts that were the size of golf balls from some of the...
