PHOTOS - Take a complete tour through a completed Bora Bora Bungalow at Disney's Polynesian Village

I don't think alligators can get up there unless they walk down the walkways. And from what I understand, the Disney alligators' wrist bands will not open the gate and allow them into that area. They are, however, permitted access into Trader Sam's. Watch where you step

That's what I've been thinking and have been surprised (or should I not be surprised of that here really!) that no-one has said that till now!

Hey, does somebody want to be part of my family?

I saw alligators climb a chain link fence on the Animal channel and it scared me to death (as I'm easily scared)

Well there goes my security system idea for protecting my run-down-trailer-in-the-swamp-when-I-retire-to-Florida idea. :/

Hilarious!

Does anyone know if we will still be able to watch wishes as before from the Poly beach? or do these bungalows now cover up the view?

Great pics though!

Photo update as of Saturday, April 4. Included a photo that I didn't see anywhere else, regarding the bungalows. The various entrances to the piers connecting the mainland to the bungalows are all gated, accessed by the guest's wristband or room card.

I don't even think alligator's can climb that.

Don't worry, there will be a Seminole around to take care of that pesky gaytor.

Oh, you would be surprised what an alligator can do. I saw a video of a large gator slithering (does a gator slither?) across someone's front lawn, get to the front door and climb up to the door bell. Not that I think a reptile that hasn't changed much since prehistoric days and with a brain the size of a grapefruit was actually trying to ring the doorbell, but it made for one funny video. Imagine if it managed to hit the doorbell, and the home owner answered that one. Yikes!! "Honey, there's someone here to see you."

Just sharks and turtles, I bet. Both of which are awesome.

You do know there are no sharks, at least not the amphibian variety, in the Lagoon, right? Just turtles and I did see an alligator in the sea grass around the area were they take the pontoon boats for fishing. Wasn't very big, maybe 3-4 feet.

But speaking of water creatures, while walking across the bridge from SSR to DTD we were fascinated by something that kept surfacing and then diving under water. Imagine our surprise when we realized it was an otter. A rather big river otter. We watched it climb up onto the bank (this is the part of the "river" where the fountain is) and head towards the wooded area around the road. Sure hope it didn't wander onto the road leading to the bus depot at Marketplace. Is DAK missing any of their animals?

Or maybe the newest entrée at the Poly, cooked alligator caught on property, with a Lapu Lapu

I've had gator tail. It's not bad if done properly. Tastes like chicken....

 

[LAKid53]

Yes, more new entrees.

Would make the pals and pirates fireworks cruise interesting. "I think we're going to need a bigger boat."

 

[LAKid53]

That gives me a completely different perspective, they look much more affordable then, I was thinking deluxe rather than family/friends .

Think of them as a luxury Tree Top Villas. With your own pool.

I'm laughing so hard my sides hurt.

As you face MK on the beach, you call still watch from the far left side where they show movies.

Except for the keys, river otters are endemic to all of Florida.

Yes, I am quite aware that there are now sharks in the Seven Seas Lagoon. I was responding to a comment about Bora Bora.
