    Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

    I have to hope that maybe this is part of the process of upgrading the monorail trains too. From memory it seems to me the monorail station and security was almost the same size as the Grand Floridian's so expanding it for the security check doesn't seem to make sense (at least not without...

    "Official" 2020 MVMCP (Cancelled) Special holiday festivities start Nov 6th new info starts in Page 12

    I completely understand not doing the party but - no castle lights? They could skip the lighting show and still have them. Maybe they're afraid of all the Christmas crowds around the castle - but then why bother with the custom projections which will effectively do the same thing? I just hope...

    Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

    Reading that elsewhere as well. Whatever GCH renovations are happening it involves the monorail stop or entrance in someway. I'm thinking there might be some elevator work for better accessibility (getting up to the monorail floor or down from it) but the GCH has the same problem. So maybe it's...

    Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

    I don't mind the brighter colors - just the Moana theming. Polynesian, to me, was always an extension of Adventureland. I'd feel the same way if they made "lilo and stitch" rooms.

    Whats the point in Chef Mickey if no Mickey?

    That's an insult to the food at the Golden Trough! ;)

    Magic Bands

    So if they're not giving out free magic bands BUT they're still going to do the online checkin where you go straight to your room - that indicates they'll still need some sort of mechanism to get you your key. I know they can do that with a smartphone app but, frankly, those suck. i have yet...

    Splash Mountain to become Princess and the Frog ride

    Makes you wonder if Disney could retcon Song of the South and "redo" it as from Africa, keeping the animated characters and tunes but reworking the overarching story as purely African.

    Buffets after reopening?

    Short term, buffets are toast. I think the risk of touch contact via buffets is very low compared to just being around other people in a buffet (even with masks) but the risk is still there. I don't see this being permanent once the pandemic passes though. If people are going to be that...

    Is 'Made With Magic'/'Glow With the Show' still a thing?

    That was such a cool idea but - a> they were too heavy to wear (the mickey ears anyway) b> too expensive. So instead of seeing this sea of color and light changes in the audience you'd see about one or two at a time. I think if they had gotten the price down around $10 they would've sold a lot...

    Parks during Christmas/NYE?

    I've been to both 4th of july and NYE - Christmas/NYE is a bit more crowded than July 4th and the holidays are generally more crowded than Christmas/NYE days. If you can handle the 4th you can handle Christmas, which I think is better decorated and more "magical". NYE will be the tricky day...

    Space 220 opening

    Yeah - I bet opening week there will be some crack in the "new" glass and then everyone in the restaurant will get sucked out into space :P

    AP Holders: Should Disney "Stop the Clock" on passes until there is a Vaccine for COVID-19 ?

    I agree but under certain conditions. If they reopen WDW but do it like China, where only main street and a few shops and restaurants are open, then I don't think that should restart the clock. Likewise you need a few weeks (months?) after things get started back up for people to be able to...

    Airline prices are too tempting....Should I take a chance and book for August?

    Hard to say - Disneyland Shanghai is STILL not fully open yet and China says they've had their outbreak under control for almost a month now and that's 3 months after the shutdown. Extrapolating to our Disney - that would put a partial open around June/July. CDC's current guidelines are to...

    MK dessert party annoyance...

    Yeah - I was there for the 12/30 NYE party and everybody was sitting and chilling and then suddenly the CMs are walking around demanding everybody stand up for the fireworks. I don't get the safety issue - I suppose there's some fear that people walking during the fireworks will step on people...

    More Epcot entertainment cuts...Japan, UK, Italy...so far

    This is REALLY stupid. What made Disney magical (yeah, I'm using past tense) was the total awe and wonderment you could get from the experiences. Somebody in charge read his text book on theme parks and that they're places where people go to ride roller coasters and so if we just stick to core...
