I don't think that's authentic Tiki pipes.

If I didn’t see the GF looming in the near background I would’ve swore you were somewhere in the South Pacific!

It works, by sheer mistake.

The Grand Floridian Villas is so Beautiful from this vantage point. That was such a beautiful tranquil walking path! Luckily it didn't wipe away entirely the monorail views passing by!

City Hall.

That's the kind of logic that got us Guardians in EPCOT.

"...and it works, because Peter Quill visited Epcot as a kid!" -Bob Chapek

The guest should be able to inherently understand why thematic choices work and compliment each other. If one needs to explain to them why it works, it doesn't.

If you need to explain to people how it works, it doesn't.

It’s called a joke

That round room certainly looks like some kind of hangout. Unkown if it's an eatery or drinkery or what, but I'd watch the weddings roll by while sipping something there.

Cake Bake take notice!

Looks like a bar in the original concept art.

That does look like a mini version of the Cake Bakery. Is this why it's been taking forever for them to open on the other side of the WDW Pond. cakes for all.

Kidani only has a full service restaurant but no quick service.

Well, there is the pool bar there and it has some real food (doesn't help for breakfast though)

It's a traditional Tiki arcade.

They’re straws to be offered up to the giant tiki gods so they can drink from Seven Seas Lagoon for good luck.

it sure does look like a restaurant/bar....too big to just be a pool bar.
I am hoping they add some features to the final version of the pool...not just a plain pool....if anything it should be more over-the-top than the other pool considering the building is so lightly themed...

I hope its a restaurant. Gotta throw a bone to the DVCers...

We love the Polly but I am a little worried about where all these extra folks are going to go for food. Capt. Cooks is always slammed at lunch and we rarely find a place to sit.

I actually like the way the pool is looking so far...

Sanaa does a QS breakfast option, where you can get what you want and either sit in the restaurant to eat or take it with you.

The gift shop also has some grab and go items for breakfast.

You can also order food at the pool bar, though there is not a ton of seating. Aside from Sanaa to go.
