The beautiful skies of Florida become even more vibrant and breathtaking at dusk- and for someone who loves Walt Disney World, viewing those skies with a magical backdrop make for some very special memories. How I wish these were mine! This wonderful photograph of Disney's Grand Floridian Resort from Disney's Polynesian Village Resort was taken by someone named Sharon on the Tikiman's Unofficial Polynesian Resort Pages on face book. Can you picture the shot of the Magic Kingdom? Yep, me too!
Here it is: The best piece of Disney Imagineering concept art you'll find with regards to Walt Disney World's wonderful Polynesian Village Resort. There are many often seen pieces out there. But they are usually of the resort building's exterior and how it looks next to the Seven Seas Lagoon.
Imagineer Sam McKim, well known for creating stunning pieces for Frontierland in Disneyland shows he can get his Tiki inspired vibe on with his look the Florida resort's at Luau Cove (may it Rest in Peace).
Disney, Tiki culture, and concept art- one of my favorite theming combinations. It's probably some of yours too! Think about it: Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, Disney's Aulani Resort on Ko Olina cove in Hawaii, the Polynesian Village Resort, Trader Sam's and Trader Sam's Grog Grotto, the Luau Cove, the Tropical Hideaway, and last but not least, what it replaced, California's incredible Tahitian Terrace at Disneyland.
You can concept art for all these places here on the blog! The piece at top was discovered on the excellent Tikiman's Unofficial Polynesian Resort Pages on Face Book. It's a definite must add to anyone's collection!
