New Polynesian Bus Hub at Walt Disney World Is Complete and Poised to Open

Overview

• A covered, landscaped bus facility at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is finished but not yet in operation with buses still using the Porte Cochère while Disney stages the switch.
• When the change is made, Disney Transportation will route buses along the resort’s former main entrance road to the new hub while guest vehicles keep using the newer entrance, creating separate traffic paths.
• The Polynesian boat dock has reopened after a full timber decking replacement, and water taxis to Magic Kingdom have resumed service.
• Walt Disney Imagineering published a Monstropolis construction update that explains the H.U.M.A.N. Day storyline, confirms locations such as Harryhausen’s restaurant and the Glob Theater, shows visible coaster supports, and gives no opening date.
• The resort’s makeover work continues more broadly with Cinderella Castle’s repaint finished and its moat refilled, a phased Treehouse Villas refurbishment running through mid-September 2026, and a December 2024 Disney patent for an extendable 3D projection surface that could inform future show effects though it is not a confirmed installation.
