DISNEY'S POLYNESIAN VILLAGE TOWER IS ANNOUNCED BY DVC

Disney's Polynesian Village Tower Announcement: A New Chapter in Polynesian Hospitality

Disney’s Polynesian Village Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows is set to open in October 2024, bringing a new level of luxury to this iconic resort. Guests can look forward to premium accommodations, breathtaking views, and the renowned hospitality that Disney is known for. The tower offers a variety of elegant studios and multi-bedroom villas, perfect for families and groups seeking flexibility for their adventures.

Modern Rooms and Family Comfort

Enjoy a choice of spacious studios, one- and two-bedroom villas, or expansive penthouse-style suites designed for larger families. Each room features upscale furnishings, plush bedding, and elements inspired by South Pacific culture and Disney magic. Relax in the spacious living areas, cook in full kitchens, and unwind in modern bathrooms, offering a perfect retreat after a busy day at the parks.

Unique Amenities and Experiences

The Polynesian Village Tower offers a range of exciting amenities and experiences for all ages:

• Moana Cove: An interactive water play area inspired by “Moana’s Voyage,” ideal for family fun.
• Oasis Eatery: Savor island cuisine with health-forward bowls, shareable plates, and locally-inspired dishes at this quick-service restaurant.
• Sunrise Gardens: Wander through lush tropical gardens for views of Seven Seas Lagoon and enjoy breathtaking nightly fireworks over Magic Kingdom.
• Fitness Center: Keep active with state-of-the-art gym facilities available to guests.

Prime Location and Accessibility

The new Polynesian Village Tower is strategically located just steps from the main Polynesian resort, providing easy monorail access to Magic Kingdom and other Disney theme parks. Its proximity to the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa allows guests to enjoy signature dining and shopping, all within walking distance. This prime location enhances the overall Disney experience, making it convenient for guests to explore the vast array of attractions and entertainment options available at Walt Disney World Resort.

DVC Booking, Membership, and Value

With the addition of the Polynesian Village Tower to the Disney Vacation Club portfolio, DVC members have new ownership opportunities and enhanced flexibility. Bookings began in October 2024, with an exclusive sales window for members to secure their stay in advance. The home resort advantage allows members to book accommodations at the Polynesian Village Tower up to 11 months in advance, compared to the 7-month window for other DVC resorts. This advantage can be crucial during peak travel times when availability is limited.

DVC resale experts advise reviewing the latest DVC resale listings to explore cost-saving options on Polynesian contracts and maximize vacation value. Purchasing a resale contract can often provide significant savings compared to buying directly from Disney, although it's important to note that resale contracts come with some restrictions, such as the inability to use points for Disney Collection, Adventure, or Cruise Line perks.

Understanding the Right of First Refusal (ROFR)

When purchasing a DVC contract on the resale market, it's important to understand Disney's Right of First Refusal (ROFR). This is a clause that allows Disney to purchase the contract back under the same terms as the buyer's offer. The ROFR process typically takes 30-60 days and is a standard part of the resale transaction. While it can add time to the process, it ensures that Disney maintains control over the ownership of its properties, preserving the value and integrity of the DVC program.

Conclusion

The Polynesian Village Tower blends modern design with island-inspired elegance and Disney’s unmatched service. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a lifelong DVC member, this new addition represents the pinnacle of Disney hospitality.
