Imagine yourself in the 1970s. For years, you have heard about Walt Disney's dream of building a "living showcase that more people would talk about and come to look at than any other area in the world." And now, that dream known as Walt Disney World, a magical oasis being built in phases on 27,400 acres of land and water southwest of Orlando, Florida, is a reality. It currently features a destination-vacation resort, and plans for the future still include an industrial park designed to highlight American industry at work, and, eventually, the city of EPCOT. The first phase of Walt Disney’s living showcase just opened its gates on October 1, 1971 and its time for us to visit this incredible new "Vacation Kingdom" and see the magic with our own eyes and ears. Join us as we embark on a virtual adventure back to early Walt Disney World and attempt to capture the resort destination in its early years...

Much like the Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is a true Walt Disney World original that still possesses the charm of the early days of Disney since its opening in 1971. Intended to be an extension of Adventureland, the Polynesian Resort came during the end of the Tiki craze, where Pacific-island culture began to sweep across the United States. This resort, fondly referred to by many as simply the “Poly”, is still as romantic and relaxing as a Hawaiian getaway, with the perks of being a monorail resort. Now, let’s journey further into the history of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, the second of the Magic Kingdom resort hotels…

The Polynesian is currently in the throes of a radical aesthetic change. Refurbishment work began earlier this year to begin the process of removing some of the older features of the resort, with most of the changes centered in the Grand Ceremonial House. By the time the work is complete, the waterfalls that graced the entrance will be woefully gone, replaced by a more open area adorned with Japanese float lamps, and a large statue of the nameless (but popularly called “Tiki Shrug”) tiki deity that has served as the resort’s mascot since 1971.
