Construction on the new frontage at Disney’s Polynesian Resort Great Ceremonial House is continuing this week with more of the structure going vertical.
A number of support columns are in place, which will ultimately support the new monorail station over the main entrance.
When complete this summer, the new arrival area will feature a high-pitched, open-truss roof covered in a thatch style with pops of color. The area’s new open and airy vibe will be complemented by four chandeliers inspired by glass floats, fishing nets and oversized bamboo elements mirroring the chandelier inside the lobby. In addition, the resort’s Monorail station located above the porte cochere is receiving new wooden screens with geometric patterns in tropical colors, adding to the overall ambience of the entrance.
All work was the resort is planned to be complete for a reopening in the summer of 2021.
