OMG - I love that water pageant mural!!!Some nice soft goods refurb bungalow photos of the living room.
Yes, as PP said, the Tonga suites have been fully renovated and it’s currently open (although no CL services). IMO sometimes Disney does some strange things with suite availability online, or it may just be your dates - not sure? Or it could be a CL thing since at some point they need to get the suites back in the “CL category” whenever Poly CL opens.
The renovations are beautiful, BTW.
Super excited to see this. We arrive at the Polynesian on 9/11. Hoping the monorail will be open then.Video from Tikiman's Unofficial Polynesian Resort FB page- Monorail station: they have been testing at the platform

I was waiting on my breakfast order from Kona yesterday and was sitting at a chair right in front of the doors that go out to the platform. a construction worker slid the doors open for a minute to talk to someone and I could see they were putting up a light fixture right there, and the whole area looks pretty well ready to go (from my untrained eye). I think they still have some things to go, but you can tell by the smell there has been painting going on, and some other chemical that I can't put my finger on but I'm sure you could get high from if you stood there to figure it out long enough lol. I still don't know about 1 week, but 2 weeks tops and that station should be ready.Video from Tikiman's Unofficial Polynesian Resort FB page- Monorail station: they have been testing at the platform

They didn't have the security stuff set up yesterday morning, that's a good sign!While waiting for my press pot a couple of security CMs went out to the monorail station. The doors are still covered so you can’t see out, but I could see through when they opened them. Security stuff was all set up, but couldn’t see much beyond that. Must be getting somewhere close.
The DVC villas are currently going through a soft goods referb and being furnished with the murphy beds vs the pull out couch. We are excited as those pull outs are not very comfy. So the murphy beds will have an actual mattress. The kitchenette is so nice with the microwave, toaster, mini fridge and coffee maker. It helps us have a quick breakfast in the morning so we can get rolling. The 2 bathrooms are so helpful when getting our party of 5 ready.we’ve learned we really prefer having two full-time beds and not having to make up/pull out a bed every day.
I sure wish I'd seen your post before we hopped off at TTC to walk to Ohana. But we did find out after we had gotten off and hopped back on. It was a nice surprise this morning!Monorail station is open!
