Coming along nicely but still a long way to go... There is no way this will be finished by My 1st... I would guess August or September at the earliest...

I imagine they're shooting for the third week in July, when the Polynesian Village Resort (non-DVC) section reopens. Given the amount of progress they've made in the past month, I think that's doable. Of course, Disney no longer aims for what's doable (let alone the "impossible," as Walt liked to do), so I'll temper my expectations. ;)

I just need Ohana to be reopened by December...

↩ replying to DCBakerI like the decor, I like the color choices, I don't like the characters outside of a framed print on the wall.

Is that volcano mural an elevator?

↩ replying to zero creativityNo, it covers an access panel. The hallways of the Polynesian have sizable access panels located between the rooms for access to the plumbing chases that were previously very visible.

↩ replying to Weather_LadyYou make some great points! That’s why right now my fave room layout is Pop Century. It’s SO user friendly, and I like the clean modern feel to it.

So I'm seeing a bridge to the doors with space for water under and to the sides?
B
I see the space...but no sign of anything hinting at the construction of water features... Perhaps The Zach could share some Imagineering brilliance and show us the renderings of the water features designed for the new Polynesian entrance...
Wait, you say the company that does a press release and concept art for a new doorknob or replacing burned out lightbulbs has decided to not hype the new water features they are building at the entrance of the Poly? That's a curious choice unless they really have no plans on bringing back that iconic beautiful first moment of your arrival. I bet there is a poll that says Disney Guests just want to get into the lobby with lots of furniture and watch cartoons....

Why did the monorail station need to be rebuilt?

↩ replying to insert name hereIt was 50 years and constructed mostly of wood.

↩ replying to insert name herePretty much that. Most modern WDW architecture is made to look like wood these days, but is not built with wood. They are fixing up the falling apart station and it should last another 50+ years structurally!

I remember on my last visit, the floorboards on the express side of the station were popping up and in rough shape.
I'm excited about this renovation and can't wait to see the results. Trying to stay optimistic on the waterfalls.
