Disney's Polynesian Village Resort opened at Walt Disney World on October 1, 1971, making it only one of two opening day hotels on property (the other is Disney's Contemporary Resort; Fort Wilderness Campground opened at a month later). Inspired by the South Pacific, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort feels like its own tropical oasis on Seven Seas Lagoon (a short monorail or boat ride away from Magic Kingdom). With world-class restaurants and lounges ('Ohana, Kona Cafe, Trader Sam's and more), iconic pools, breathtaking views, a wide range of unique room options (including honeymoon suites and Bora Bora Bungalows), and a rich history at Walt Disney World, Polynesian is a fan-favorite resort.   In this episode, we discuss everything you need to know about staying at this deluxe-level resort, share reasons why you might want to stay here, and offer suggestions about how to make the most of your stay. And stay tuned because our next podcast episode will feature more information specifically about Island Tower, the newest addition to this resort and part of the Disney Vacation Club portfolio of hotels.   To plan a trip, be sure to work with KMV Travel.   Get bonus content, ad-free episodes, and more at patreon.com/imaginationskyway.   Tag me and join the conversation below.

A highlight of the festival is a new sculpture on Main Street, U.S.A., featuring iconic Pixar characters like Woody and Buzz Lightyear. – NEW Main Street, U.S.A., Addition Announced for Disney's Pixar Fest | the disney food blog Disney California Adventure is set to reintroduce “Hurry Home — A Lunar New Year Celebration,” a nighttime show, as part of its Lunar New Year Festival starting on January 23rd. This special event will be showcased before the “World of Color — ONE” show, which is returning from a brief refurbishment on January 19th. The “Hurry Home” celebration will continue through February 18th, aligning with the duration of the Lunar New Year Festival. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2024/01/05/a-disney-nighttime-show-is-coming-back-in-2024/ The Food & Wine Festival, running from March 1st through April 22nd, will offer an array of events.

This decision has sparked criticism, as it is believed to potentially increase standby wait times for an attraction that typically does not require a skip-the-line feature. Critics argue that this move decreases the guest experience, pointing to similar impacts seen with the Little Mermaid attraction, where the introduction of Lightning Lane led to longer standby lines. – https://www.micechat.com/377221-disneyland-news-holidays-end-lightning-lame-constant-construction/ The “Tale of the Lion King” show at Disneyland has concluded its run. This high-energy performance, although smaller in scale compared to previous productions at the Fantasyland Theatre, was popular. With its closure, Disneyland currently has no major theatrical productions, as the Hyperion and the Fantasyland Theater are unused and “Fantasmic!” is set to return on May 24th. The park continues to offer smaller-scale shows like Storytelling at the Fairytale Theatre in Princess Fantasy Faire. – Disneyland Update: The Great Goodbye, Lightning Lame & Constant Construction (micechat.com) Disneyland has unveiled ten new culinary delights, available starting January 10th. At the Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe, guests can indulge in Banoffee Pie, Strawberry-Stuffed Croissant, Cherry-Vanilla Macaron, Lemon Meringue Éclair, Chocolate Mousse Brownie, S'mores Tart, and Beef Birria Toasted Cheese. Meanwhile, Smokejumpers Grill in Disney California Adventure is adding a Raspberry Cheesecake Shake, Citrus-Melon Punch, and Sparkling Blackberry Lemonade to its lineup.

Sponsored by Carnation, it initially featured an ice cream counter and outdoor seating. In 1997, it transformed into a restaurant specializing in American comfort food. The Victorian-style building offers a charming dining experience, with carnation flowers on each table. Signature items include Walt Disney's favorite, Walt's Chili, and popular vegan Mickey Mouse waffles. The cafe also gained attention for its fried pickle appetizers, a Disneyland must-try according to Eater in 2019 – https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disneyland/carnation-cafe/menus Discussion Topic: Author and International Best Seller Alexandra Monir hanna.pollock@sparkpointstudio.com https://www.instagram.com/p/CyOpEzciirg/ https://books.disney.com/book/realm-of-wonders/ https://www.instagram.com/alexandramonir/ Anyone who orders a book and sends a reciept screenshot or photo to hanna.pollock email can get a free limited edition signed book plate (personalized with provided name) and a limited edition 3 poster set. https://a.co/d/ebRoC0c – The Final Six book alexandramonirbooks@gmail.com

We already covered tips on how you can experience this holiday tradition if you aren't an invited guest. If you are going to be in the parks this weekend, be ready to have some congestion at the front of Disneyland before, during, and after the processional. - https://www.micechat.com/374193-disneyland-update-igers-wish-big-crowds-its-a-small-nude-after-all/ Magic Key Holders have some new holiday merchandise to choose from.

The popcorn bucket is themed after the character Valentino from the movie, and the sipper is Star. Valentino is a small brown goat wearing an orange shirt. The Wish Star sipper is shaped like the Star character and features a yellow painted face on a sparkling yellow body. - https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/11/photos-wish-valentino-popcorn-bucket-star-sipper-arrive-at-disneyland-resort/ Fans of the Dapper Dans may want to add a new item to their gift lists. A new knit polo shirt in the theme of the Dapper Dans has arrived on Main Street in Disneyland. The polo is $78, and features a repeating red pinstripe pattern across the front and back, stopping at the sleeves to simulate the appearance of a Dapper Dans vest. - https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/11/dapper-dans-knit-polo-shirt-available-at-disneyland-park/ Fans of the oversized candy bar at Pym Test Kitchen may be disappointed at the following news. The Choco Smash Bar is now the Choco Smash Cake. Gone is the candy bar shape and presentation, and is now in the form of a slice of cake, made from the same ingredients. MiceChat reports that the size of the cake slices are all over the place, but will hopefully stabilize as cast members get used to the new format. - https://www.micechat.com/374193-disneyland-update-igers-wish-big-crowds-its-a-small-nude-after-all/ An unusual sight happened on "it's a small world" this weekend.

He was charged on multiple accounts. - https://www.micechat.com/374193-disneyland-update-igers-wish-big-crowds-its-a-small-nude-after-all/ Discussion Topic: Author Marcy Carriker Smothers Amazon links - https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marcy-Carriker-Smothers/author/B00D8GZR8S Marcy's Website - https://www.marcycarrikersmothers.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/marcycarrikersmothers/

News: Over at MiceChat, Dusty Sage was able to have a conversation with higher-up associated with Tiana's Bayou Adventure where he expressed his dismay at the focus on the search for a missing ingredient. If Dusty is right, there is a lot more going on with this attraction. Per his conversation, it is a sort of fake out for guests concealing the fact that they are doing a lot more with this attraction than has been announced. Massive set pieces are being installed to make this much more grand than the attraction that it is replacing. They are also spending a considerable amount on this project that they could have built an entirely new attraction. – https://www.micechat.com/371000-disneyland-update-snowfall-pumpkins-missed-opportunities/ It is possible that by the time you listen to this, the Adventureland Treehouse could be open! All of the scaffolding has been removed and the construction tape is gone. The walls around the attraction seem to be the only thing holding back excited guests. – https://www.micechat.com/371000-disneyland-update-snowfall-pumpkins-missed-opportunities/ https://www.micechat.com/371000-disneyland-update-snowfall-pumpkins-missed-opportunities/ The Paradise Pier Hotel will become the Pixar Place Hotel officially on January 30th, 2024. The new Luxo Lamp sculpture is yet to be installed, and the Great Maple restaurant is still under construction. The Disney Parks Blog posted images of the new room decor and all the reopening details. To see them yourself, head on over to the link in our show notes. –https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2023/10/opening-date-revealed-for-pixar-place-hotel-at-disneyland-resort-plus-sneak-peek-of-great-maple-menu-pixar-themed-hotel-rooms-and-more/ As we have spoken about a few times on the podcast recently, Toontown is undergoing some updates to fix the land's main interactive fountain and dreaming tree section. The CenTOONial Park is scheduled to reopen on October 30th, and then Goofy's How-to-Play Yard will close on the same day. Changes to this area are scheduled to wrap up and reopen to the public on November 10th. Hopefully, this will just leave Donald's Duck Pond having never been operating for guests. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2023/10/17/one-disney-attraction-will-reopen-soon-but-another-will-close-the-same-day/ A fun new activity is coming to the Disneyland Resort this Halloween Season. The Disney Parks Blog posted a Halloween Time Scavenger Hunt Around the Disneyland Resort. The scavenger hunt provides clues to find things in Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, and Downtown Disney. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2023/10/try-our-new-disneyland-resort-halloween-scavenger-hunt-for-families/ Halloween is still about a week away, but Christmas is already moving in around the resort. Snow has started to fall on Sleeping Beauty Castle, resulting in the Disney100 decorations disappearing before the actual anniversary, lights are going up in the trees on Main Street, and New Orleans Square is starting to have its decorations installed. – https://www.micechat.com/371000-disneyland-update-snowfall-pumpkins-missed-opportunities/ Have you ever wanted to have breakfast with Santa?
