New signs were installed in the check-in area of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort lobby and half of the lobby’s seating is currently closed.
New Polynesian Check-In Signs

The new signs hang above each checkout counter and feature the resort’s mascot, Maui, and tropical flowers. The signs previously read “Aloha” or “Guest Services” where appropriate. The new signs are the same size and shape.

It’s possible the decals were just replaced, rather than completely new signs being installed. There have been no signs of construction in the area.

For reference, above is the check-in and guest services area with the new/updated signs. Below is a picture of approximately the same area with the “Aloha” signs.
The area otherwise looks the same.
Polynesian Lobby Seating Closed


However, all of the lobby seating in front of BouTiki is blocked by stanchions. Although signs state, “Please pardon our Pixie Dust – Work in progress for future enjoyment,” there is currently no active construction. All of the furniture and planters remain in place.



Disney has not announced any work in the Polynesian lobby. The lobby received a soft refurbishment in 2023 when rugs and upholstery were replaced. In early 2024, the stairs received new carpet.

There is ongoing construction outside the Great Ceremonial House as the resort’s driveway entrance is reconfigured. Crews were also recently working on the roof of the Aotearoa building.
