The new Island Tower addition at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows opened today (December 17)! Located along the stunning shores of the Seven Seas Lagoon, the new tower will celebrate the vibrant spirit of the Polynesian Islands, the natural elements, and our favorite wayfinder, Moana.
With over 260 beautifully designed rooms, stunning interior spaces, and brand-new amenities, the waterfront expansion will become a new “home” for Disney Vacation Club members and guests to create new vacation memories.
Here are four reasons you will love the new Disney Vacation Club addition, which will be among the more than 25 Resort hotels located at Walt Disney World Resort. As Maui would say, “You’re welcome!”
Vibrant Villas for Families of Different Sizes with Breathtaking Views
Traveling with a small group? You can enjoy a cozy duo studio for two or a deluxe studio that sleeps up to four.
Need more room to stretch out? One- and two-bedroom villas are perfect for larger groups, sleeping five and nine, respectively. The villas come complete with a full kitchen, comfy living area, outdoor patio, and even a washer and dryer.
Disney Vacation Club is debuting a stunning new type of accommodation in the new Tower: two-bedroom penthouse villas. Sleeping up to eight guests, these spaces will boast a spacious living room and dining room and gorgeous views of the Seven Seas Lagoon and Magic Kingdom park or Disney’s Oak Trail and Magnolia Golf Courses.
Escape in the Terrace Gardens
Get ready to relax in four tropical garden hideaways exclusively for tower guests and members. Each space will be inspired by the lush beauty of the Polynesian Islands and offer unbeatable views of Walt Disney World Resort.
You will be able to catch the Magic Kingdom fireworks from two Terrace Gardens facing the park and a spectacular sunset over Disney’s scenic golf courses from the other two gardens. Trust us—you’ll want to see it to believe it!
Finding the Way…to More Play
Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows has long been a fan-favorite with close proximity to Magic Kingdom, whimsical pools, a collection of beloved restaurants, and, of course, an abundance of DOLE Whip! But get ready to soak up even more fun because the new tower will be adding some incredible new features.
Guests will be able to unwind at the brand-new Cove Pool area, featuring a zero-entry swimming pool, or let little ones explore “Moana’s Voyage,” a splash area with life-size sculptures of Moana and her iconic cano. The new tower will also be home to the resort’s first and only fitness center, which is sure to be a welcome addition to the many recreation activities offered today that are included in member and guest stays.
