Disney Opens Redesigned Entrance at Polynesian Village Resort With One-Way Access

The redesign delivers a straight-on arrival experience, with related roadwork set to continue into early 2026.

Overview

  • Vehicles now enter exclusively from westbound Seven Seas Drive on a one-way approach that leads directly to the porte cochere.
  • The former entrance has been converted to bus-only access to separate resort transportation from guest traffic.
  • A new Polynesian-themed guard booth and updated directional signage anchor the refreshed gateway.
  • Reporters noted temporary congestion at the front loop affecting hotel buses, rideshares, Mears, and Disney Cruise Line transfers.
  • Early site observations point to increased parking availability as landscaping and walkway projects proceed near the Great Ceremonial House.
