The August 2014 reopening gave Capt. Cook's an overhauled dining room with a new brown color scheme, Polynesian-themed artwork, retro Polynesian island travel posters and new lighting fixtures, and removed the self-order touch-screen ordering kiosks.
Capt. Cook's closed on April 9, 2014 (pushed back from an original March 28 date) for a months-long refurbishment, with a temporary quick-service stand set up inside the Great Ceremonial House during the work.
Capt. Cook's dropped its self-serve Dole Whip from the menu in the 2014 overhaul, relocating Dole Whip service to the resort's new Pineapple Lanai kiosk that opened later that year.
