Now I see the quiet pool will be under construction from April until the end of September? We just booked our first Poly stay for Sept 8-18. How much of a mess will this be and should it affect my room request?
I thought the East pool construction wasn't going to start until the main pool was finished in August?
I'm also probably in the minority when I say I really like the open fresh look of the new lobby. I never really cared for the old waterfall.
Has the completion date on the main pool been pushed back to August? I thought it was supposed to be done in the spring? (I haven't been around the thread for a while)
I've been keeping an eye on whatever I see about this, since I have a trip planned in August and the main pool fits my family better (I really CANNOT see us in a quiet pool ).
From what I've read, even though the pool was supposed to be done around March, the best guesses (Tikiman pages and his Facebook page) put it somewhere in April/May. Of course, nobody knows for sure, but I really hope that's the case! It's my first trip to the Poly and I am way too excited for this far out!!
uhgg, more construction.
Another year I won't be at the Poly. I scrapped the Poly from my trip earlier this year in favor of the YC. I really missed being on the monorail. But when I stopped by the Poly and saw the mess, I was glad I changed.
I get things need to be refurbished. I just wish WDW would figure out a way to do it quicker and stay on schedule so people can plan.
For what it's worth, the WDW site still says the Volcano Pool and lobby will be completed in "early 2015."
They stayed on schedule for the lobby I've been paying close attention since we will be there in a month. They said all along that the lobby should be completed by the end of 2014 and it was. I'm sure the Volcano pool will be the same. They are working hard to update the resort I'm not sure how they could complete massive projects like this much quicker.

My recollection is that the Volcano pool was originally supposed to be completed in summer 2014. And it's still not completed. People plan their vacations around these construction schedules. The least they could do is be accurate.
I'm following your trip report from last year and it would be cool to actually see you here! Like seeing a celebrity! We just booked our plane tickets last night and will be at the Poly from 9/22-9/27. Woooo!I'd like to know about the quiet pool too, we're looking at booking the Poly for late September through early October, so I'll be keeping an eye out for any updates

Thanks for clarifying that Tikiman. Yes view destruction is subjective. And the above drawing doesn't quite capture the location of the bungalows exactly..from my observation recently on site.. the drawing above shows the huts too far to the club level lounge area.. they are not that far west.. which the graphic suggests
I guess what I'm trying to say is that from the ferry to Tahiti, to across sunset point, to in front of Tokelo and right up to the west of Hawaii they basically did in fact in my opinion hack the view by and large they stopped with the bungaloization
about a quater in front of east Hawaii somebody in charge musta said "enough already"!! And so you can still be on the beach in front of much of Hawaaii and the main pool area and see the castle etc. fine. Just want people to know that they can still enjoy those perks from CL except the ground floor... now garden category.
As always thanks to Tikiman for getting all this info out to us otherwise we'd pretty much be in the dark as to the progress and details of construction, plans, renderings and future transformation still in the works.
