It'll definitely look better than it looks now, but if it looks like the "concept" art (and it will) I'm not sure I'd agree it'll look fine.

We know what it’s going to look like.

It is not concept art.

First mover advantage. Now just wait until the haters tell you about how they voted to stay there with their money, but it still sucks and nobody else should go.

Disney will put a few palm trees in-- some tropical plants and call it Polynesia
P.T.Barnum and Abraham Lincoln (add Disney) are both credited with having said some form of "You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

I thought Barnum was the "There's A Sucker Born Every Minute" guy...

I mean, it’s at least slightly more how it works than the people who periodically drop in to gripe about the current concrete “finishes” that aren’t finishes at all.

True, true. And you gotta admit, whatever the end up with will look at least decent. Disney does amazing work with facades.I mean, it’s at least slightly more how it works than the people who periodically drop in to gripe about the current concrete “finishes” that aren’t finishes at all.
BUT! Everyone can still recognize how out of place a structure like that is. Yeah, I get what they wanted to originally put in that location. But they didn't. They went with a stylized representation of a polynesian village. The building just erected has no basis to fit within that theme. If they couldn't fit the theme, why did the build it that way?
Considering all of the other broken theming construction projects going on in the parks and the way most seem to feel about those, then shouldn't the same outrage be felt for the hotels?

Personally, I mostly reserve my outrage for things that deeply disturb the sense that everything is on stage. In that sense, the TRON and Cosmic Rewind show buildings, the Harmonious infrastructure, and some of the backstage views permitted by the skyliner bother(ed) me far more than what I'm seeing of this, even if there are things about it I would change and I personally preferred the peaceful passage alongside Luau Cove. Ultimately, this doesn't disturb views from the Grand Floridian much at all, and within the Polynesian, it's really only visible from the beach, where it joins the fabric of a skyline that already included the Grand. Again, it's not my favorite thing ever, but as far as visual intrusion goes, I actually find the Swan and Dolphin more annoying.

Not necessarily. As with the case of the original Poly's reworked entrance, the final product may well look even worse than the art. Like the pattern they never properly added to the columns...
It certainly won't look better than the art though, which is already hideous lol...

That is a more stylized and manipulated rendering.Not necessarily. As with the case of the original Poly's reworked entrance, the final product may well look even worse than the art. Like the pattern they never properly added to the columns...

I still want to know if they are going to add an extra quick service for the location.
In terms of transportation, this is going to suck. are they going to add bus stops or just tell people to walk to the Polynesian or grand Floridian monorail, bus stop, and ferry?

Not sure on quick service but I'd guess it's just the pool bar.
Polynesian boat and monorail access is not far. Buses on the other hand are a bit of a hike, similar to VGF DVC building to the bus. But I'm pretty sure there is not an additional bus station.
Perhaps some lesser traffic on the monorail lines with the SOG walkway closed, but I doubt that's a huge number.

The eastern exit of the building is exactly where Aotearoa currently is. The walk to the Great Ceremonial House is a breeze. A dining location looks to be in the works on the first floor based on the plans, though the nature of it is unknown. Quick service seems like it would be a good idea to supplement the resort since Captain Cook's can be a madhouse at times. I honestly wish they'd offload Trader Sam's to the new building as a larger bar and then reclaim that space in the GCH.

That is a really good idea! Trader Sam's can be designed as a larger bar but designed to still feel intimate...I know they are concerned about losing that feeling, but I have been to much larger bars that still play as intimate spaces...and they really need the capacity. I always wonder why when they planned for a Trader Sam's they didn't expand the space, and connect it better to the outdoor patio and really create a spectacular outdoor bar....so if you are stuck on a waiting list for hours, you still have more of an experience at the outer location...

The art style is more realistic, part CGI from the looks of it (and touched up after). But that isn't relevant at all to my comment and still doesn't mean the final product will look 100% identical. It even says in the bottom right corner "Artist Rendering, Concept Only. Subject to Change".
