Changes
/* Return of Disney's Polynesian "Village" Resort (2014-Present) */
In 2021, the Polynesian Village Resort once again underwent a series of major renovations. According to Imagineer Zach Ridley:
{{QuoationQuotation| One of the biggest changes will greet you right up front – a new porte cochere will showcase the iconic mid-20th century architecture the Polynesian is famous for. Our team from Walt Disney Imagineering and Walt Disney World have crafted a design inspired by colors, patterns and textures found throughout the resort. This new entry features a high-pitched, open-truss roof covered in a thatch style. There’s also a bold façade that features pops of color complementing the Longhouses found throughout the resort. Along the Monorail station, bold new wooden screens will be covered with geometric patterns in bright, tropical colors that complete an exciting new composition that will greet you when you arrive."}}
During the 2020-21 renovations, the resort is expected to get a new entrance, an expanded monorail station, a new roof, and new Moana themed guest rooms. All work is expected to be completed by Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary on October 1, 2021.
