Couch and bench cushions in the lobby of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort have been reupholstered, soon after all new rugs were placed in the lobby.
Previously, these built-in benches around planters had red upholstery.
The seats are now tan, while the back cushions are covered in an abstract all-over pattern.
The cushions of this bench were also replaced.
The repeating pattern uses various shapes and muted colors, like red, green, and dark brown.
Some of the standalone, double-sided couches have new blue cushions.
The seats are solid, while the back cushion has a blue and green criss-cross pattern.
This couch has coral pink cushions.
The back cushion has a pink and white pattern.
Some chair cushions have also been replaced.
They now have back cushions that match the benches.
Some of these chairs have brown seats, but some have green seats.
The rest of Disney’s Polynesian Resort underwent an extensive refurbishment recently. While the standard rooms received “Moana” theming, the Disney Vacation Club Studios got “soft goods” refurbishments, meaning just the upholstery, art, and such were updated.
The Great Ceremonial House received a new Monorail station and port-cochére. The entrance to the resort was redone as well to match the new structures.
Kona Café recently reopened after an extensive refurbishment, with all new seating, decór, and more. The Kiki Tikis Splash Play Area and Lava Pool slide were also recently refurbished.
A new Disney Vacation Club wing is currently under construction where the Spirit of Aloha dinner show used to be.
Alongside the Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort turned 50 in 2021. The resort opened on October 1, 1971 with Disney’s Contemporary Resort (Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds also celebrated its 50th anniversary, but it didn’t open until November 1971).
It’s also home to the fan-favorite tiki bar, Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto. Guests don’t need a reservation at the hotel to visit the on-site bars and restaurants.
