Two updates out of Disney's Polynesian Village Resort refurbishment notices today — one brand new, one that settles a story we've been tracking. The new one: the roof work at Wailulu Bar & Grill in the Island Tower, originally scheduled to wrap in late June, has run past its window and is still ongoing with no revised end date posted. The settled one: the October timeline for Trader Sam's Tiki Terrace — the date Disney floated and then quietly pulled earlier this month — is back in Disney's notices and holding, now tied to an unspecified date in October.

Both slips trace to the same job: the extensive exterior refurbishment of the Great Ceremonial House, the resort's main building, which Disney lists as running until October. The Tiki Terrace sits inside that work zone, so its timeline moves with the building's — which is why "late June" became "October" and why we'd treat even October as written in pencil.

What This Means for Your Trip

Wailulu is open through its roof work, but in a split mode worth knowing before you monorail over: walk-up service only until 5 p.m. each day, with seating available only from 5 p.m. to close. In practice that makes Wailulu a dinner plan, not an afternoon one. And if a pre-fireworks drink on the Tiki Terrace is part of your Magic Kingdom-area ritual, it stays off the menu until at least October — Trader Sam's Grog Grotto is still pouring indoors, minus the outdoor seating and the Seven Seas Lagoon breeze. Expect daytime construction noise around the Great Ceremonial House either way.

Wailulu is dinner-only seating until its roof work ends, and the Tiki Terrace's October window is now sticking — plan your Polynesian stops accordingly.

What We Know (and Don't)

Confirmed via Disney's refurbishment notices: the October window for the Tiki Terrace and the Great Ceremonial House exterior work, and Wailulu's walk-up-until-5-p.m. service pattern during the roof project. Still open: the exact October reopening date for the Tiki Terrace, and a new end date for Wailulu's roof work now that late June has come and gone. These windows have already moved once — if you're traveling this fall, check the current notices close to your dates.
