Now for the one million dollar question: Will you still be able to walk from the Poly to Magic Kingdom again?

That's crazy. Cooks is fine and I've never really had issues with excessive waits. But you're adding a ton more people to the resort and only one dining option?!I believe so.... it's that pool bar and grill.
They showed concept art of a garden view on a higher level. It didn't mention a quick service.
Bay Lake Tower and Villas at Grand doesn't have a bar or restaurant so for Polynesian Tower to at least get a bar and one restaurant is something itself!That's crazy.

Yeah, that's true. Grand Villas are a lot smaller, but I guess Bay Lake is pretty big. I hadn't thought of that. Okay, maybe it's not crazy lolBay Lake Tower and Villas at Grand doesn't have a bar or restaurant so for Polynesian Tower to at least get a bar and one restaurant is something itself!
It looks crazy because The Polynesian seems a more popular location to visit. To me I love the three equally but Ohana, Trader Sam's, the place itself, dole whip, The Poly is an attraction of it's own to majority of people. The only closest thing to that is Steakhouse 71 and say California Grill.Yeah, that's true. Grand Villas are a lot smaller, but I guess Bay Lake is pretty big. I hadn't thought of that. Okay, maybe it's not crazy lol
While rooftop dining would have been nice, they don’t lack for space that could be used for dining if they wanted to, so it’s not like it was a singular golden opportunity. Heck, Tangaroa Terrace could be converted back to dining at any time if there was a desire.Grand Flo- Narcooses, Citricos, Victoria & Alberts, Gasparilla Island Grill

Poly is just as popular and has only 2 Sit Downs with one quick Serve - No Fine Dining while the other 2 have 3 Sit Downs and 1 quick serve - both including a Fine Dining option. A Fine dining option at the top would have rounded it out but what they went with spreads already super popular options even thinner!
That is the problem here (I purposely left off coffee bars, pool bars and lounges to see the deeper concern with this lack of foresight), it is hard enough staying at the Poly as is and getting a reservation without fighting an extra 250+ rooms worth of guests.
I’m curious at what point the will start on the weird tree like structure outside the main lobby. It’s appeared in every piece of concept art, but it doesn’t seem like they’ve done any work to support it yet. Maybe it’s freestanding and so they can just drop it in place? But it looks like it’s built around the existing column, so that wouldn’t necessarily make sense

This makes a lot more sense once you consider they don’t really care about guest convenience in that regard and really want to cram DVC in a place where it will have the most demand and make the most money.Grand Flo- Narcooses, Citricos, Victoria & Alberts, Gasparilla Island Grill

Or maybe Poly wedding venue dining and dress shop? Split it depending on which side you are facing and everyone gets a fireworks view. Should be good for ~$500 a plate depending on wineI suppose since they didn't find it an issue for Bay Lake Tower and Contemporary sharing one small quick service that it wouldn't be a problem for Villas at The Grand and now Polynesian Tower. If Polynesian needed a fine dining this could've been the spot since replacing the Luau Dinner Show!
