There are three permits in total — one for rooms 1003-1048, 2001-2048. and 3001-3048 in the Moorea building, one for rooms 1901-1948, 2901-2948, and 3901-3948 in the Tokelau building, and one for rooms 1103-1126, 2103-2126, and 3101-3126 in the Pago Pago building.
All of the permits simply say “Alteration” as the reason for construction.

Although the work permits do not specifically denote the purpose of the renovation, it is highly likely that they are related to the updates that are scheduled to be done to the Disney Vacation Club Villas at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
Last month, DVC Guests at the Polynesian began being relocated into the new Moana rooms ahead of the remodel.
The scheduled soft-goods overhaul at the Disney Vacation Club Villas and Overwater Bungalows will not involve major construction, but will, instead, involve replacing certain furnishings, linens, and related items to give the spaces a new look for Guests. Disney has also confirmed that Murphy beds will be added to the Villas at select Resorts, including the Polynesian.
A completion date for the project has not been confirmed.
