Construction continues on the new Monorail station at Disney’s Polynesian Resort

Updated:

The new Monorail station at Disney’s Polynesian Resort has gone vertical. Braces for the station’s new support columns are in place and concrete work is beginning soon.

We have some great photos of the station construction courtesy of @bioreconstruct.

The Monorail passes by Disney’s Polynesian Resort and is not accessible during the project.

This view from directly beneath the Monorail beams will be closed up once again when construction progresses.

The new Monorail station is part of a larger refurbishment that’s updating the arrival experience at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. We’ve already seen changes to the resort’s familiar roof beams.

Disney’s concept art for the front of the resort shows the updated station and front entrance.

Disney is also working on the resort’s rooms themselves, adding “patterns and textures” inspired by the film Moana. We haven’t seen any official concept art for the rooms yet, so it’s unclear how much the film will influence the design.

Guests visiting Disney’s Polynesian Resort should expect lots of construction ahead of the hotel’s reopening in Summer 2021.
