A look at Monorail station rehab at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

The monorail station at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has been demolished as part of the upgrades taking place at at the Great Ceremonial House.

The resort is now undergoing major renovations.  A new porte cochere will showcase the iconic mid-20th century architecture the Polynesian is known for. The new entry features a high-pitched, open-truss roof covered in a thatch style. There’s also a bold façade that features pops of color complementing the Longhouses found throughout the resort.

the Great Ceremonial House will be redesigned to make it open and airy, and will feature dramatic lighting elements, including chandeliers inspired by glass floats, fishing nets and oversized bamboo elements. The new chandeliers will match the existing grand chandelier in the resort lobby.
