Hmm....looks to be in the same location as Moonridge? Our place is part of Polynesian Shores 2...and the street next to us is 1....So it might be the makings of our original plots....definitely the same area from the pic...

It does not mention anything about homesites...our place was built in 1968 so not sure what year the flyer is from but it is all deed property where we are and moonridge...not a camp ground as it seems to illustrate.

I've always wanted to open a tiki bar on the river.

Anyone have more photos of the Polynesian Village?

Polynesian Village was still going strong in the late 60's, just talking about it Sat. at the V-Drive Regatta, Easter'68 bunch of us from high school were staying there,partying Yuma co. Sheriff rolls in takes the two guys on either side of me to jail, under age drinking, left me to carry on:champagne:arty2:

Happy to oblige Ryan. Next time we are both at the river I would be happy to tip a few and recall some of the happy times that occured, late at night, while on the river in the old flat bottom with the stick-on lights. Lots of fun back then. Never did fully develop the navigation lights for the waterskier. BTW, I do recall that there were no PWC's and you could always expect courtesy from other boaters. My how times have changed. It is still fun. Pretty much 'The same - Only Different'

The theory of things going full circle always works with Tikis and drinks.
The river is ready for a re-set.
