Disney Vacation Club has shared new images and details of the Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows. The new tower is projected to open on December 17, 2024.
Guests will feel immersed in the culture of Polynesia from the moment they see the tower’s impressive exterior, adorned with patterns inspired by Polynesian tattoos that celebrate island storytelling.
Let’s take a look at the newest features just announced!
Wailulu Bar & Grill
Wailulu Bar & Grill will feature spacious indoor and outdoor seating areas and a spectacular bar space with views of Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom Park. This casual walk-up pool bar will feature an all-day menu for lunch and dinner that is influenced by the Polynesian Islands’ local and indigenous ingredients. Specialty coffee and on-the-go morning pastries will be available for breakfast.
The dining room will feature Polynesian-inspired artwork, including floating tropical fish sculptures that will ” swim” throughout the space. The fish will lead to a grand textile piece in the bar area, representing a colorful coral reef.
The center of the dining room will showcase an abstract Polynesian Stick Chart, an ancient navigation tool used to traverse the seas. A vibrant centerpiece composed of beautiful shades of blue, teal and green faux stained-glass will create an ambiance to dive in and explore the mouthwatering menu!
Disney says the menu for this new dining location will be “released soon.”
Moana-Themed Pool and Splash Area
Moana’s Voyage is the new whimsical splash area featuring life-size sculptures of Moana and her iconic canoe from the Walt Disney Animation Studios film.
The tower will also have a brand-new zero-entry pool – Cove Pool. These new aquatic features will be available to Disney Vacation Club members and guests staying at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
Terrace Gardens
DVC members and guests who stay at the Island Tower will enjoy exclusive access to four tropical terrace gardens.
Each terrace garden will feature vibrant artwork, lush foliage and uniquely themed seating areas. The distinctively designed hideaways will offer families a serene locale to gather and take in the views during their stay.
These garden locations will offer picturesque views of Disney’s Oak Trail and Magnolia Golf Courses or Seven Seas Lagoon, making them spectacular places to view Magic Kingdom fireworks.
