Things are always changing in Disney World and we’re here to keep you up to date on all the big news!
While many people are interested in knowing what’s happening in Disney Parks, things can also get interesting in Disney World hotels. Let’s go over what’s new at Disney World hotels!
Polynesian Village Resort Construction Update
At the Polynesian Village Resort, construction is still underway for the new Disney Vacation Club villas being built on the shores of the Seven Seas Lagoon.
We’ve been seeing more construction vehicles in the area and a large mound of dirt, and scaffolding on the edge of the construction area. We’ll be watching closely for more changes!

Polynesian Village Resort Merchandise Update
Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto
The Monstro Tiki Mug we previously saw in Disneyland made its way over to Disney World! We found it at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. We waited in line for around 75 minutes to get this unique mug!
There were two drink options to choose from and we went with the Whale of a Tale, made with Malfy Gin Originale, Plantation Pineapple Rum, Italian Liqueur, Pineapple Juice, and Orgeat, and garnished with an Orange Wheel, Charred Pineapple Wedge, and a Pineapple Leaf. We paid $50 for the mug and the drink.
