Parking Gets Tighter at Disney’s Polynesian Resort
Heads up, Disney fans! If you’re planning a visit to Disney’s Polynesian Resort, be prepared for some significant changes to parking access. Effective immediately and until further notice, only guests with a resort reservation at the Polynesian or a confirmed dining reservation will be granted entry to the main parking lot. There are no exceptions to this new rule.

This “hard close” is a direct result of extensive construction currently underway to relocate the main entrance. For the first time in its history, the way guests enter the resort will be permanently altered.
Disney has updated its website with the following disclaimer:
“From May 2025 through 2026, some areas of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows are being refurbished. This work includes the reconfiguration of the front entrance roadway and bus area. While construction activity will be noticeable during daytime hours, efforts will be made to minimize disruptions. All Resort dining, pools and amenities will remain available. Additionally, some views of the theme parks and other surrounding areas may be impacted. Please allow for extra travel time when arriving at or leaving the Resort.”
While the resort’s dining, pools, and amenities will remain open, guests should anticipate construction activity during daytime hours and potential impacts on some views of the theme parks. It’s also wise to allow for extra travel time when arriving at or departing from the resort.
So, if you’re dreaming of a Dole Whip or a stroll through the lush grounds of the Polynesian Village Resort, make sure your plans include either a stay at the resort or a pre-booked dining experience, otherwise, you might find yourself turned away at the gate.
