Kiki Tikis, the popular children’s water play area at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, is temporarily closed as it undergoes refurbishment. Part of the larger Lava Pool area, this play zone has earned a reputation as a favorite spot for families staying at the resort. While no reopening date has been announced, guests can look forward to other available amenities at the Polynesian during this maintenance period
Alternative Water Play Options
While Kiki Tikis is temporarily inaccessible, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort offers other water play options to keep families entertained.
Moana’s Voyage Splash Zone
Guests staying at the Polynesian can take advantage of Moana’s Voyage Splash Zone, located at the recently opened Cove Pool. This newer play area features a Polynesian-inspired design and water activities ideal for children. Positioned alongside the Cove Pool, it’s an excellent alternative for families seeking a lively and entertaining water experience.
Lava Pool
For those looking for more expansive options, the Lava Pool, which remains open, offers a large feature pool complete with a waterslide and scenic views. Its adjacent sandy beach areas also provide a relaxing space for guests of all ages to unwind.
Scheduled Refurbishments Around Walt Disney World
The closure of Kiki Tikis is part of a wider series of refurbishment projects across Walt Disney World’s resort properties. For example, Stormalong Bay at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts is currently closed for updates, with plans to reopen in June. Similarly, the Courtyard Pool at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is undergoing maintenance and is slated to reopen later in February. These refurbishments are part of Disney’s ongoing efforts to enhance the guest experience and maintain the quality of its offerings.
Conclusion
Guests planning trips to Disney Vacation Club resorts are encouraged to stay informed about ongoing refurbishments to make the most of their vacations. Regular updates from Disney provide details on closures and alternative options, helping guests plan and enjoy all that the resorts have to offer.
