The final piece is now in place at the new-look Polynesian Village Resort lobby.

Overnight a tiki statue was put into place atop the lava rock water feature in the center of the lobby. You can see a photo tour of the rest of the lobby from late last year here.

    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!

    TuvaluApr 27, 2015

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

    englanddgApr 27, 2015

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

    englanddgApr 27, 2015

    That makes sense. I was basing it on these:

    TuvaluApr 27, 2015

    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.
