Link to pics-The newly refurbed Poly lobby and Tambu Lounge

Thanks for the pics! I have to agree with others though. It's nice, but I liked the before much better.

I was there this weekend, and both DW and I think it is a huge improvement. It is open, airy and comfortable, and it's very pretty. The old fountain/volcano thing took up the entire lobby and made it feel old and crowded, the new lobby looks and smells much nicer.

While the lobby was really tight on space, they went to the opposite end of the spectrum space-wise. They probably should have just halved the size of the fountain. It still would have been beautiful while still gaining much needed space.

Dare I say, I liked it too. :lei:

Just back from WDW- Surprised and disappointed with the Poly lobby. Floats and nets on the ceiling are nice, extra seating was needed. But it sorely lacks a large iconic feature in keeping with the scope of the area. WL has the massive fireplace, AKL has the huge African art pieces, CR has the monorail, GF has the birdcage & the orchestra. The little fountain in the middle of the Poly lobby is phony-looking and lame. And there is no foliage & water scent anymore. !snif!

I was there a few weeks ago and was amazed at how little they did as the "center piece" once they removed the original. The original was large had running water and this one is just a little planter with flowers...It actually looks temporary because it is way to small for the space. I hope they do something a little bit bigger in the future with it...Maybe if they get enough complaints, it really takes the excitement out of walking into the lobby. I used to love walking in to see all the plants smell and hear the water it made it special.. now thumbs down.
