There is so much change going on in Disney World right now! Magic Kingdom has two major expansions in the works, Cool Kid Summer is starting very soon, and a new hotel is underway.

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort


Over at one of Disney’s most popular hotels, a major resort perk is now closed! Don’t be caught unaware during your next stay.

Starting on May 11th, the boat dock at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort will be closed! This dock is undergoing some routine maintenance, which feels pretty common these days in Disney World.

The boat dock


The dock will be undergoing maintenance through late June, but it the boat won’t be gone for too long! Boat transportation at the Polynesian resort will be suspended from May 11th until June 5th. That’s not too bad!

The dock!


The boat is one of the resort’s most popular forms of transportation. It takes guests from the resort to the Magic Kingdom and to the Grand Floridian Resort. Luckily, it will still be pretty easy to get to both of these locations during the closure! To get to Magic Kingdom, resort guests can take the classic monorail. You can also consider the walking path to the parks, although it’s a bit long for some guests.

The boat can get some pretty long lines.


You can get to the Grand Floridian the same way! Either the monorail or the walking path. There is also construction going on at “some areas of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows.” Disney confirmed these areas will be refurbished through 2026, and they warned that guests may see and hear some daytime construction, starting at 9 AM.

Polynesian Village Bungalows


This isn’t the only construction you need to consider during your stay here! Exterior sections of the hotel are also getting a little TLC, but that means your view from ‘Ohana may be impacted. Specifically, they noted that views of Seven Seas Lagoon may be partially or fully obstructed during construction. If you want to see the fireworks clearly, consider having an earlier dinner and then watching the fireworks from the beach.
