Walt Disney World Resort is finally repairing structural damage at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort from Hurricane Milton, which hit the Central Florida Disney parks in October 2024. The construction work comes just days after guests publicly complained about declining conditions at the Deluxe Disney Resort hotel.

After paying over $500 per night for a room, X (formerly known as Twitter) user @Savethedmagic was disappointed to find “rotting” vegetation on the once-beautiful beachfront of the Seven Seas Lagoon: Disney’s “Modern Polynesian” – fronted by rotting vegetation. This is the view people are paying top dollar for. This water looks awful. Doesn’t feel like a Polynesian Island; it looks like a sewer carrying away waste. This used to be so beautiful, and the lake was the draw.Disney's "Modern Polynesian" – fronted by rotting vegetation. This is the view people are paying top dollar for. This water looks awful.

On August 6, WDWNT reported that construction crews are working on the rooftop of the Aotearoa building.Hurricane Milton damaged the overhang of the Aotearoa building in October 2024, and it’s been missing since then. Crews are currently working on two corners of the building. A string of yellow flags encloses the work area, and fences block construction vehicles on the ground.

The building’s exterior carved faces have been covered by plastic tarps to protect them from damage during construction. One of the affected buildings was formerly home to the Tangaroa Terrace restaurant, which closed in 1996. The former Table Service dining location now houses backstage areas for Disney cast members.Credit: D23Walt Disney World Resort hasn’t publicly shared any information about this construction project at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, which isn’t unusual. Disney rarely comments on maintenance that doesn’t directly impact the guest experience. Have you noticed any construction projects around Walt Disney World Resort?
