Captain Cook's reopening

[tikiman]

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.

Good news - thanks for the update

But the arcade is gone for good, right?

Yes. The arcade will be the location of the Trader Sam's. They are not planning on adding an arcade anywhere else on property.

But, this will ruin the construction wall theme that they are going for at the resort.

I hope they add more items to the menu!

Bus service and counter service are worse at the deluxe resorts than at the mods and values. Apparently they think most deluxe guests look down their noses at riding buses, eating fast food, and playing arcade games.

After paying those prices I only have the money for fast food!

I'm guessing Dolewhip is still off the menu?

When we stayed at AKL we mostly ate at their counter service, and never at Boma. We went to Boma several times on later trips, when we were staying at mods and had the free DDP.

No more Dole Whip at Captain Cook's! What?

Speaking of ... still on track for an early 2015 opening?

I just saw a picture of Captain Cook's on Facebook and it looks realllllly nice. And it said that Dolewhips will still be available.

If the Dole Whip machine is truly gone, I'm sure going to miss enjoying a Dole Whip on the shores of Seven Seas Lagoon.

Ahh... It felt like paradise.

I saw some of the pictures from your site! I have to say it looks nice!

Nobody said that.

Any chance it would be open by Friday? Craving one of those Dole Whips!!

@tikiman, you mentioned that there will be no arcade located at the Poly, but, do you know if they are planning on adding a community hall on property for DVC? Perhaps they will add some video games there, instead. It would be a great addition. My son and his friend enjoyed hanging out at the BWV community hall this past trip. They had an epic game of Jenga going on. Other guests, and even castmembers, were gathered around to see how it would end.

Nobody said that.

At one point it was mentioned the Self-Serve machines were being removed during the refurb. Looking back, it was mentioned that you could get dole whips at a separate location:

Im told it will be an ice cream shop. That will also be where you will get Dole Whips but it will no longer be self serve.

This was a while back though and plans may have changed, so just curious what is going on today. Is Cook's opening sans machines while a separate location is built? Are original self serve machines still there? Or?
