Following the reconfiguration of the roadway entrance to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, crews have demolished the former entrance’s guard shack and installed framing for new bus stops.
Polynesian Resort Construction
The guard shack and its surrounding flowerbeds are completely gone, leaving only a long patch of dirt. We saw crews preparing for demolition a few days ago. The gate infrastructure was also completely removed.
This entrance is off Seven Seas Drive and will become a bus-only entrance. Until construction is complete, buses are entering along with other vehicles at the new Floridian Way entrance and dropping guests off at the porte cochere of the Great Ceremonial House.
Between the old and new entrances is the framework for a new bus depot. The old depot was demolished, and this steel frame was installed in the past few days. It has triangular pieces to create the roof shape, but no roofing has been added yet.
Crews are also finishing up a sidewalk between the bus depot and porte cochere, which leads from the parking lot to the Great Ceremonial House. More of the sidewalk has been paved but the land around it still needs to be filled with plants.
