Disney's Polynesian Resort is now transitioning to its new name - Disney's Polynesian Village Resort.

In-room flyers and resort guide maps now use the new name and logo. You can see a scan of the new resort guide map below.

The name change comes at a time when the resort is undergoing a large transformation into a Disney Vacation Club hotel, adding new lagoon villas, refurbishing some longhouse into DVC villas, and refurbishing the lobby and main feature pool areas.

There was a line 50 people long to go in at 4:00 last Friday. I didn't go during my stay, but seems popular. I didn't have any problems with the lobby, but I hadn't been there for 15 years, so I don't really remember it.

I know the ladies was called polynesian princess - can't remember the men's or jeweler

Nice reference. Ah, memories.

Would be too large. Service is managable now, although I feel the inside bar is still shorthanded a bit and that's including the fact that one is almost exclusively making drinks for the rest of the room. Even though Enchanted Tiki Bar is a success in CA, how this bar will play out in FL is still sorta experimental. There's definitely a big tiki culture in SoCal and around Disneyland. That bar could be open at 10am and it would still have a flood of people at opening. I've read a lot on how many lookyloos there are, those that sip on water or a single drink then just socialize, and people not tipping. Come on! If you're not willing to tip on a $52 drink you shouldn't have any business soaking up space.

Oh no. What happened?!

Correct. I have the button. They had all the glasswear for sale. Then I went to the airport. Zombie heads are meant to be in checked luggage....

More like the old men's wear store

I still think they should have knocked down the wall to Captain Cook's and just made it into one big facility... and moved the quick service to some other location, like Tangaroa Terrace.

Inside capacity is 51, with no standing room, only seats. Though I stood the whole time.

Ahhh, I know exactly where it is then. Thanks!

It is in the space formerly occupied by the game room. And it is TINY.

I thought it was off to the right, around where the old South Seas room was... Derp!

That makes sense. I was basing it on these:

It is on the left if you enter from the front doors. Just past the Trader Sam's entrance is another door to the outside, but you aren't on the terrace, you are just outside and need to turn right to get to the terrace.
