PHOTOS: Only a Few Crossbeams Remain as Refurbishment Continues at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

Only a few of the iconic crossbeams remain on the roof of the Great Ceremonial House at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Removal of the crossbeams began earlier this month and has been moving quickly.

There still remains a horizontal support and a vertical support with no crossbeams on them.

Only the last group of twelve crossbeams are left.

The entire structure will likely be gone next week, though a new version of the crossbeam structure will take its place.

From the other side of the Great Ceremonial House, the remaining structure is partially obscured by trees.

Meanwhile, we saw workers trimming some of the resort’s palm trees.

Work will also soon begin on new Moana-themed rooms at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. The entire refurbishment will last until next summer, when the resort will finally reopen to all guests.
