Any new pictures?

If anything it looks worse driving up Floridian. All the tall vegetation is gone so it's just a mishmash of rooflines.

Photo updates from today.

Thoughts:

Thé paint is helping, and I think the additional dining amenities will be welcomed, however
I would have built it on the current parking lot with a breezeway connecting it to the GCH, this just makes it feel lopsided and that’s my biggest issue with it.

Also what’s this rumour I hear about a new luau…?

I was only able to make it to the Seven Seas Lagoon side today, but here is a 4K video and a few photos from that side.

I appreciate your sharing these pictures, but this looks like a comfortable place I’d be okay staying at for a series of business meetings in Huntsville for a few days, not for a deluxe, $1,000+/night at a signature resort.

Building vertically here does allow a lot of people a nice view of the park, which is sort of a good thing. Many on here are looking to stay there.

I think my only real complaint is calling it "Polynesian", which it really isn't. Unless you count Singapore part of polynesia.

They should have called it the "Grand View Hotel" or something, because that is exactly what you're paying for.

Maybe they could offer the Polynesian faithful an olive branch and tear down the Bungalows to give us that stretch of beach back. Now that they can "sell views" down the beach a bit.

Does anyone else feel like it looks really similar to Riviera? I’m trying not to judge too much until it’s completely finished.

Animal kingdom lodge and boardwalk both looked identical at a certain point in their construction too.

I do like the wood grain (or is it real wood?) they seem to be adding. Hopefully they do more with the awning at the top, to give it more decorative detail. If they can do something in the same vein as the roof of the GCH, that could work.

That’s good to hear. I’m hoping once it’s past the bare bones stage, it will look more unique.

Looks not so nice from the monorail. I can see a new game of skill for hairbands on top of the wedding chapel starting up.

it is just sculpted stucco type finish on the concrete...definitely not real wood...
I know there is a ton more to do to finish the exterior of the building, and it will get better looking as it goes...But that said, looking across from BLT along the lake shore it is starting to look like a modern city...and there is no amount of decor they can put on that structure to make it harmonious with the rest of the resort...

The only thing anyone is seeing at the MK is the top half of the castle, SM and Tron. It is too far away to see anything else.

I feel terrible for anyone getting married at the Wedding Pavilion. What a disaster.

For the amount of money they are paying to have their wedding there I don't feel sorry for them at all. They can afford to find another place if this view bothers them that much.

This is a good point. Disney's prices are so high, folks can find MUCH MUCH better venues for less money.

It looks like a building under construction, which it is.

 

[Epcot81Fan]

It looks more and more like the rendering Disney released - which looked terrible and out of place.
