News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

[Prince-1]

I just can't get past the fence and rocks by the water. I wonder if they'll keep that "feature" as the new tower is built? I guess they must to keep us safe from that terribly dangerous lake. They could make the fence taller I suppose, add some razor wire. Maybe they could put up some lcd screens showing the old beach at the waters edge.

Yeah it sucks for that 10yo kid that was killed by an alligator because he was able to wade into that same lake. I would go ahead and complain to Poly management about how those rocks are ruining your vacation. I am sure they will be sympathetic.

Ok, Demolition permit issued almost 10 days ago.

How soon do we think we will see equipment on site and work begin?

Las Vegas should post odds on this decade versus next decade.

There have been photos posted today of a fenced off area and “no photography” signs.

Thanks!

I knew I’d seen them somewhere. But in my defence they were posted at 12:11am today my time.

You do know that there was water sports in the lake for over twenty years, don't you? The incident you're talking about is due to lax Disney maintenance of the property. The removal of water activities from the lake also makes the water quiet and more attractive to aligators. Regardless, it's a tragedy for that family. And, a tragedy for fans of the Poly.

Yes, roughly an hour after I asked.

The fact that you are calling the addition some rocks and fencing a tragedy compared to a mother and father losing their 5yo child is beyond pathetic.

Lane was 2. It had nothing to do with anything other than pure tragedy because a family had no clue about alligators at night. Not blaming family, they didn't know. Water sports were still on bay lake and water sprites on seven seas lagoon as well. The ropes had to go up since people would go in the water. Alligators rarely attack but the conditions were right with time of day and small size of Lane. If they didn't put fencing up and it happened again, it would be unforgivable. My heart goes out to Lane's family. I cannot imagine.

As a lifelong Polynesian lover saying it is a tragedy for ropes to be put up is honestly kind of sad. No way does it bother me. Especially knowing the cause.

Oh, Come on! You know that's not what I was doing at all. Stop with the faux outrage.

I don't think disliking the rocks is equivalent to liking the mauling.

What’s with the snark?

I knew I’d seen some photos so I answered. Not sure what the timing has to do with it.

Sorry, I misinterpreted your post and assumed you were being sparky as I had posted asking status before the pics were posted and had replied to Tuvalu`s post to thank him before you commented.

Looking at the site in person, unless Disney is removing the beach, the space is very small.

They didn't say they were the same. Tone down the faux outrage a hair.

Haha, I didn't even get to your post when I made my faux outrage post. Guess it was just that obvious.

Thanks for the suggestion but I’ll pass.

Then, I get an extra helping of outrage for the Poly DVC tower. How's the groundbreaking going?

No ladders be reported- just signage, so we are in a holding pattern.
