See the CHANGES at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Expansion

A few different areas in Disney World are basically construction zones right now due to all the NEW stuff coming to the resort.

Disney’s Polynesian Resort

We’ve got a new attraction to look forward to in EPCOT. We’ve got the Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers coming to Disney’s Boardwalk. We’ve got Summer House on the Lake coming to Disney Springs. There’s SO much going on, including an expansion at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.

This expansion includes a whole new building of Disney Vacation Club villas at the hotel, and we’ve been following the progress of what’s been going on with construction ever since Spirit of Aloha was demolished and the new structure began to take shape. Most recently, we noticed some kind of tubing or pipe in front of the main building, as well as even MORE equipment around it, including a crane.

A lot more equipment on site

Blue scrims block off what might be rooms as the work is being done on the building and potentially inside.

Large pieces of the building seem to be getting ready to be put in place, too, like the one this truck is carrying.

Here’s a view of the other side of the building to give you an idea of just how big this expansion is. There will be a lot of NEW rooms to book here when this is completed.

Equipment is also in place to work on that end of the building, too.

So much work

Nearby, a huge hole has appeared in the ground — could this be for a new pool? It’s certainly large enough and Disney has said that the new expansion would have new recreation offerings for guests staying there. It’s hard to tell how deep this crater is, though, and it could be meant for something else. This does seem like a good location for a pool, so we’ll keep our fingers crossed.

We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more updates, so stay tuned to DFB for more!
