Guests at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort can splash the day away again as the Kiki Tikis Splash Play Area reopens. While most of the resort is still closed as the rooms are themed to Moana, the Polynesian Villas and Bungalows are still open.

The Kiki Tikis underwent a refurbishment beginning in February. While Disney’s official website still lists the splash play area as closed, it has reopened to guests this week.
