We've stayed at the Poly 2 times. I think we got good deals from the downturn after 9/11 and then the 2007 recession. We LOVED the theming -- yes, including the tacky, dark, rooms. Loved the waterfall and fountain in the lobby. My daughter's favorite restaurant is O'hana. We've planned and cancelled 2 trips and another to DLR. But, we found that, with the cutbacks on entertainment and what was done to this resort, they priced us out of it. Well, we could afford it. But, should we? So far, the answer is a big NO.
Yes, the new ponds and waterfalls look great, and should look even better as the plants grow in.
They run perpendicular to and intersect with many of the dark brown beams, so they’d stand out whether they were the color of the beams or the color of the ceiling. At this point, the best way to camouflage them would simply be to paint the entire ceiling brown.
I actually don't mind the colour of the ceiling, though the sprinklers are too visible against it and mar the overall effect. They're better disguised in your edit.
Yeah, I don't think I'd mind the color if not for all of the uncamouflaged infrastructure. I would only suggest brown because it's the easiest way to hide it at this point. My preferred color would actually be the kind of goldenrod hue they have under similar structures elsewhere at the Polynesian.
If there is such a thing as a The Polynesian Industrial Look Disney has captured it.
There’s a precedent here…people often start their trip to Hawaii with a Costco run for groceries.
About the color of your avatar
The sprinkler pipes can be painted any rainbow of colors desired, so they could change color to match whatever is behind them. Either way they’ll always stick out more because they run perpendicular to the corrugation.
The dark brown is shady perfection it feels tropical...The white (or pale yellowish) looks like a garage.
Yes, but obviously they stick out less if they’re not on opposite ends of the lightness scale, which is probably the best to hope for at this point.
