WDW Radio # 725 - Wayback Machine to Disney’s Polynesian Resort - From the WDW Radio Archives

On last night's WDW Radio LIVE show (WDWRadioLIVE.com), I brought you with me to and through Disney's Polynesian Resort for a walking tour at sunset of the grounds and Great Ceremonial House. We also looked at and discussed the construction of the new Disney Vacation Club Tower, and I remarked how the idea of a tower at this location was not something new, but was planned for from the very beginning, as early concepts for Disney’s Polynesian Resort featured a 12-story tower before evolving into a more architecturally authentic “village” layout.

So in the spirit of aloha and the origins of Disney's Polynesian Resort, I went back into the Archives this week to Show 111, where we boarded my Walt Disney World Wayback Machine and looked at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort through the years... at least up until 2009 when the episode first released. We turned back the clock to a time before Walt Disney World was even a vision in Walt’s mind, and look at how his personal interests influenced what would become the model for themed resorts that would follow. We explored the Polynesian Village through the years and looked at some of its additions, changes and lost experiences. It's also interesting to hear how we discussed what the resort was like today (today being 2009), and then speculated as to what the future may hold... or should I say may have held. Were we right? Let's see...
