Trader Sam’s Tiki Terrace Closes for Refurbishment at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

The closure cuts overflow seating, increasing waits for the small, reservation‑free Grog Grotto.

Overview

  • Disney’s operational listings, updated Monday, show no terrace hours through at least June 11, 2026, and no reopening date.
  • The indoor Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto remains open and serves drinks and food from 11 a.m.
  • Losing the outdoor terrace, which acts as overflow seating, reduces capacity and is expected to lengthen waits for the high‑demand bar.
  • Separate notices detail near‑term work across the resort, including roofing at Wailulu Bar & Grill from April 13 to late May and a Polynesian boat dock closure from May 11 to June 5.
  • Disney says broader projects at the resort, including a new front entrance roadway and bus area, will run through 2026, so guests should check daily schedules and plan alternate transport or lounge options.
