Over the last week, I visited Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, the Magic Kingdom, and Epcot, so let’s see what’s new at the Walt Disney World Resort right now:
Starting at the Polynesian, Moana Mercantile expanded into the sundries area which has been remodeled
They finally have digital park hour boards at the Polynesian
The new sundries section
The ATM moved upstairs
The controversial lobby…
New sigage up throughout the Great Ceremonial House
Signage for Trader Sam’s is covered up
A look at the future home of Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto
Work continues on the pool area
A new kid’s slide being installed
A new building for boat rentals being constructed as well
The nearly-completed bungalows off in the distance
The DVC location has moved, now with a kiosk and a small meeting room
From the monorail platform, we can see work on the left side of the Great Ceremonial House exterior
Moving to the Magic Kingdom, scrims reveal that work inside Uptown Jewelers is related to Pandora moving in
Splash Mountain is open again, but the restrooms nearby have not
Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid is closed for modifications to the ride similar to California’s version
This picture was taken just a day before the Video Arcade sign came down
The Rockettower Plaza Stage is the latest victim of the new Tomorrowland color scheme
Work continues on the new Magic Kingdom hub area
Another planter around the Partners Statue has been removed
New, smaller planters are being installed

The Sunglass Hut in Adventureland has giant pin trading sunglasses…
More hub construction
Valentine’s Day cupcakes at the Bakery
Moving over to Epcot, preparation is underway for the Flower and Garden Festival
Where the Test the Limits Labs once stood in Innoventions are now construction walls
Not sure if this is a clue to what is coming
TSUM TSUM PINS ARE OUT! Find them if you can!
I thought the hub would be done by now. It looks good though !
Wow, I love this site. This is probably one of the most informative sites. Thank you
Tom, do you know the timeline for completion of the hub remodeling? Nice looking progress, so far.
Is there going to be trees in the hub area, or is it going to be one giant, shadeless open expanse?
LOVE LOVE LOVE the Doctor Who TARDIS shirt. TARDISes are cooool…
The clue to new Innoventions exhibit – an exhibit from Glidden paint that explains how mixing colors works! (Yay?)
