This weekend if all inspections go well Captain Cook's at the Polynesian Village Resort should reopen in its old location. Not a lot of changes to it. I posted a photo of the dinning room on my Facebook page and it is the same room and layout with a slightly different look.

As a result of the extensive construction that will take place around the Nanea pool, Niue and Samoa longhouses will either close the west side rooms or close all rooms. No dates as to when they will stop booking guests into these rooms but I would guess it would be before work started in...

Work will begin on a new design for the entrance of the Polynesian and on the lobby. Due to the construction the last showing of the torch lighting will be Saturday 4/12. It may be back after construction in the same place or another place but they will not be preforming the show while...

As part of the first phase of the Great Ceremonial House being refurbished/ redesigned Captain Cook’s will have its last day on March 9th. No word on what if anything they will change. It should return to service around August or September. Also there is some information that they believe Trader...

I reported a while ago that the Polynesian Resort was changing its name back to Polynesian Village. I did not expect to see signs of the change so early. I guess they needed to add the new name to the new jogging signs that just went up at the resort. It now says Disney's Polynesian Village Resort.

I have been getting messages from people at Disney telling me that they do not believe that the press release came from Disney. I just had conversations with 3 different departments of Disney that include the Polynesian Resort and DVC and no one in any of those departments say that the press...

I hear that the plans for the DVC at the Polynesian is still to start this year and finish by 2015 or 2016 but they are not going to do as much as was in the original design. Also major changes to the GCH and addition of Trader Sams. I hope to have more I can share soon.

The Polynesian in 2013 is going to see many changes. The biggest will be the new rooms being added in as we speak. They started on the Hawaii longhouse last week. All rooms will be updated with a new look using some of the old design. They will be replacing all the materials with new but will be...

The Polynesian will have the Hawaii longhouse closed January and February of 2013 to have the new room design put in. I hear this will not be the first longhouse to get the new room design that is being tested in two longhouses since last February so other longhouses could be closed for the...

With the change in monorail schedule people are wondering what will happen at the monorail resorts especially during the Halloween and Christmas party. On the nights of the party instead of the monorails stopping an hour after normal park hours they will run an hour after the fireworks at the...

So ever since the resort opened they have had a soundtrack that played around the resort. As of the end of last year there were reports of new music being played. Well it is true that they changed it and even many of the CMs did not know it changed. Thanks to a friend I got recordings of 7 of...

Ok Polynesian lovers!!! After all these years of emailing, posting on message forums, talking on the phone to and meeting at WDW, I though it was time we all got together for a nice evening and have everyone meet face to face. I wanted to have something family friendly and Polynesian themed. We...

For those of you going to the Polynesian. Captain Cook’s closed and moved to a temporary location while it is redone. The temporary location went into affect this week and here is what the new menu looks like (taken from photos of the menu posted at the Polyensian). When Captain Cook’s opens...

I am helping with a new Disney Wedding and honeymoon planning site and I wanted to see if anyone has good photos of weddings at Sunset Pointe at the Polynesian. I know I have seen them from some people who have sent me photos but I can’t remember where I have seen them. If I could use them it...

I just got an update on the Polynesian and because of an increase in smoking room requests; part of Tahiti is now smoking. The smoking rooms are located in rooms 1002-1028 which would be the ground level starting on the garden side at the main entrance and going clockwise around to the lagoon...

Well I am still not done with all the new pictures and updates but I spent all last night adding all the Polynesian suite pictures and some new pictures of the Hawaii longhouse and views. There is more to come for the other longhouses soon. Make sure you refresh on the index page to see the...

Well it is official. I would not have believed it untill I was told directly from the Polynesian this morning. The Hawaii building will be going down for rehab starting in June 2003 for approximately 2-3 months. At this time, the rooms have not been released to be sold due to the final...
