Polynesian Renovations

[tdudunake]

Hello, I have reservations for the Poly in April 2025 and am discovering it will be undergoing renovations during this time.
I could not get any definitive answers from guest services as to what this means (they did confirm there will be closures). As I need five rooms, I need to make a decision if a change is in order.
Has anyone heard what the plans are? How invasive is the Poly Tower project?
Thanks!!

The new Tower is opening at the end of this year. However there was a permit filed for a new Resort Entrance, which is possibly what that notice is referring to.

There’s a BlogMickey article here about it:

Disney World Files NEW Permit for All-New Main Entrance to Disney's Polynesian Village Resort

Walt Disney World has filed a permit for an all-new entrance to Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. We take a closer look!

Note to @wdwmagic , there’s no search option for 2024 in the News section, just last 30 & 60 days and then 2023.

The tower project will be complete for your stay. But there will be extensive construction taking place for the roadways, parking, security, and entrance.

Thank you so much for the response! The main lobby will remain open?
