Earlier today, we shared with you that Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort would be delaying its reopening until 2021.

We also learned that the reopening was delayed to create an opportunity to finish some refurbishment work at Polynesian. Now, we’ve got some more details on a whole new theme that will be coming to the Polynesian as part of the refurbishment.
What can we say except “You’re Welcome!” Elements inspired by Disney’s Moana will soon be coming to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!

According to the Orlando Sentinel, a spokeswoman from Disney World said that changes to the guest rooms at the Polynesian will include “a move to a Pacific Ocean-inspired color palette as well as details, patterns and textures from Disney’s ‘Moana.'”

Sounds beautiful! We can’t wait to see what aspects from the movie will be incorporated into the look of the rooms. Maybe we’ll see some swirling patterns in the style of those that are on the Heart of Te Fiti? Or maybe we’ll find touches inspired by some of the textures from Moana’s skirt?

We can’t wait to see what the renovated rooms will look like. Until the changes are complete though, we’ll just be sitting around, enjoying a refreshing drink and some amazing snacks over at Tambu Lounge in the Polynesian. And you know we’ve got to finish it off with a Dole Whip!

That’s great! We stayed at the Polynesian in March and the rooms while nice could really use some TLC.
Super exciting!! But…we are huge Stitch fans…The poly is our home and partly because of Stitch! Is there any news on if he will be hanging with Moana?
Was this a planned refurbishment moved up? If not, these type of refurbs take a long time to plan and source all the items. Find it hard to believe they will be able to commission, have items produced and shipped in time. Just sayin.
Valerie, no word on this yet.
Please keep us posted if you hear!°o°
Had then any talk about renovating any if the rooms to 1 bedrooms with a full kitchen ?
Sarah, not that I’ve heard. We will update with any details we learn as the reno goes on.
We were transferred from Contemporary Resort to Polynesian in late August. I really hope the Poly resort is ready in time or we might be switch again?!!
