Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Monorail Service Temporarily Suspended Beginning October 2020

Walt Disney World updated their website this morning to show Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is no longer scheduled to reopen on October 4, but instead has been pushed back until “Summer 2021”. While the resort will remain closed, Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Members are able to book DVC resort rooms at the Polynesian. What’s important for these guests to know is that the Monorail service will be temporarily suspended beginning October 2020.

While we know the suspension of the Monorail will begin early October 2020, Disney has yet to release an end date. Who knows – it could be until “Summer 2021” when the resort is scheduled to officially reopen.

This suspension is also important to know if you are a Monorail resort hopper during the holiday season for example. If you’d like to visit Disney’s Polynesian Resort, you’ll have to find another way besides the Monorail.
