The hot tub has been closed this whole week and there is no estimated time for the repairs to be completed. This is the same reoccurring problem that it has faced since it opened last April. There is...

The sign at the hot tub specifically says no food or beverage in the hot tub or up on the tub deck area. Also in most states it is illegal to have alcohol in hot tubs due to health reasons. Spilling...

Construction schedule has final finishes dated April 17, 2015 and I was told to expect that to go later since they started late.

Sounds like you were told some accurate information but that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Might be a rumor now but there will be a lot clearing the way for Star Wars land.

I would still keep reservations to eat there but I would not suggest staying there from August to next March while the whole middle of the resort is torn up and walled off. The affected area will be...

It closed after Christmas. It will not be back after the Great Ceremonial House is done.

Each 3rd and 4th of July they try different ways of keeping non-resort guests off the beach. Some years have been more successful than others. I would think with the east side of the shoreline closed...

I have to agree that not only does BLT but the Contemporary gets a lot of grief. My favorite resort is the Polynesian so that give you an idea of what theme I like and the Contemporary could not be...

In the last few days they have changed some of the plans and decided to convert Tokelau to DVC also. They have cleared out the rooms in Tokelau and today it seems they are closing off the entire east...

Captain Cook's will close tomorrow to be moved to a temp location. Notices will go out to guests in their rooms tomorrow.

I'm happy to email you the schedule that was given to the Polynesian staff that says late July. I was told the date they are shooting for is July 28. Either way it will be open in June and early July.

The Polynesian studios will be 90 sqft larger than the GF studios so hopefully that will give them plenty of room to sleep 5 but I guess we won't know until they show us the room layout.

The pool won't close until July 28 at the earliest.

Not much will be closed in July other than some work going on in the GCH but nothing will be closed.

The East pool (quiet pool) should remain open while they work on the Nanea pool. There is nothing that says that is 100% but there is not anything saying the east pool will be closed either. In the...

An update to my post. They are now saying the pool will close late July and reopen in March 2015.

They are leaving the actual pool and slide intact. They have multiple other projects that need to be done to the pool area that include redesigning the volcano into a smaller rock structure,...

December 2014

They will be removing the volcano that blocks some of the view and I am sure when they tear up all round the pool area they will be removing all the plants. Last time they did this in 2000 all the...

No, there are not any plans that I know of to incorporate anything that is not keeping with the Polynesian theme. Think of it more as the areas that surround the Tiki rooms at both parks, although I...

I just recently wrote an article where I outlined the changes over the years because so many people think the Polynesian is outdated. It shows how often it has been upgraded and changed or expanded....

I am told that the changes to the resort will not be Aulani inspired but more of an Adventureland feel. Aulani represents Hawaii. Things that were developed for the Adventureland parts of the parks...

I was told it was a combination of both. They want a new look to the lobby and I am sure they are trying to get back some of that square footage.

From discussions I have had with those involved...

There used to be signs that stated the beach and pool area was for Polynesian Resort guests only and on certain holidays they try to check resort IDs at the beach so I would not be surprised if the...

Have you been contacted by the Island Planning Office? If you are club level guests they should contact you and provide you with the club level email and phone number to contact them any time. That...
