DISNEY'S POLYNESIAN VILLAGE TOWER IS ANNOUNCED BY DVC

Disney Vacation Club (DVC) has officially unveiled the Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows, marking a significant expansion of the iconic Polynesian Village Resort. This new addition, which opened on December 17, 2024, offers guests a blend of modern luxury and classic Polynesian charm.

A New Chapter in Polynesian Hospitality

The Island Tower is a 10-story structure featuring 268 rooms, ranging from cozy duo studios to expansive two-bedroom penthouses that can accommodate up to nine guests. Designed with families and larger groups in mind, these accommodations offer spacious living areas, full kitchens, and in-unit washers and dryers in select villas.

The tower's design pays homage to Polynesian culture, incorporating artwork and materials inspired by the islands. Guests will find unique art pieces throughout the resort, including sculptures crafted from fishing nets and preserved moss walls. Subtle nods to Disney's "Moana" are also integrated into the decor, providing a touch of Disney magic.

Amenities and Experiences

Island Tower guests have access to a variety of amenities designed to enhance their stay:

· Cove Pool: A new aquatic area featuring a zero-entry swimming pool and "Moana's Voyage," an interactive water splash zone for children.

Terrace Gardens: Four tropical terrace gardens provide lush settings for relaxation and offer prime views of Magic Kingdom's fireworks.

Fitness Center: A state-of-the-art gym facility is available for guests seeking to maintain their fitness routines.

 Prime Location and Accessibility

Situated adjacent to the original Polynesian Village Resort, the Island Tower offers convenient access to Magic Kingdom via monorail or boat. Its proximity to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa also provides guests with additional dining and entertainment options within walking distance.
