A new Monorail station is gradually taking shape at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Work has primarily focused on the new station’s platform in recent weeks, but themed beams have recently been added.

Taking a closer look at the Monorail station itself, we can see several themed roof beams are now in place.

We can see there’s a lot of work left on the new station when standing beneath the Monorail beams. Disney will likely want this project completed ahead of the resort’s reopening to non-DVC guests this summer.

The arrival experience at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort will look very different in the near future. The concept art released by Disney depicts a significant facelift around the resort’s main entrance.
Disney is also in the process of refurbishing all of the rooms at the resort with Moana theming and colors. Summarized, it’s a massive period of change at one of Walt Disney World’s original resorts.
