Polynesian Guest Letter - March 2015

Although not mentioned in the letter, Steve Seifert of Tikimanpages.com is reporting that Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto should open on March 26 and the kids’ pool should be ready by April 1.

The remodeled lobby in the Great Ceremonial House opened in December 2014. Additional resort enhancements including new water features at the resort’s entrance and the addition of barbecue grills near the DVC longhouses are still in progress. No timetable has been announced by Disney as to when these projects might be completed.
