but for Guest Experience you now have a pile of rubble with bromeliads...
maybe when the tiki is put ontop it will look better... but at this point it really looks random and cheap.
they could have put the old Enchanted Tiki Room fountain there....that was at least a lot taller and would have looked more polynesian...

Never thought of that and that would have worked better, By the way many of those Bromeliads are PLASTIC Bromeliads, The ones closest to the outside of all the planters are real, the remainder petroleum based. This was based on physical inspection. - hmm why do those look plasticky , reach out and touch. "Because they are indeed plastic". #FAIL

If it weren't for the pizza hut red bench seats, I could possibly get use to the changes, over time, maybe, kinda-sorta. But those things do not fit and have got to go. I hope Disney is listening somewhere whether it be here or guest comments because whoever thought that was a good idea heads should roll. I hope all of us, myself included, send in your comments to Disney.

Imagine someone who stayed at the Polynesian in 1983 and whose parents paid a reasonable price of $90 per night to stay at what they remember as a glorious resort with Macaws and amazon parrots perched atop a grand water feature in the lobby with flowing falls and vegetation all around with knowledgeable and friendly Cast Members to help make your vacation magical!

So that person decides to finally go back to WDW and experience it all once again with their children. They are probly imagining it being even better because hey, its 2014 and ITS DISNEY, it could have only gotten better with time!!! $600 a night later...

Good point and quite possible but why not install the Tiki now, But these days with the sheep flocking to WDW to be fleeced I can also see TDO not installing it since the guests will supposedly be happy without it.

I think there is a reason for that.
Imagine Iger installing the tiki during the reopening. All with fanfare like it was a new hotel or something.

I'm with you on the red benches, they are beyond hideous. They need to switch those out for some earthy tones, add some potted palm trees around or something to give it a more tropical feel, and over time I can get used to it. I went to the French Polynesia for my honeymoon, and I just looked over my photos of the lobbies of all 3 hotels that I stayed at in Bora Bora, Moorea & Tahiti. Not one of them has ANY red in the color scheme. All three lobbies are all earthy tones. I don't know who came up with that horrendous idea of red benches.
The three lobbies are all open air lobbies, so I will give Disney that. Open air lobbies are traditional to that region.
