The new Disney Vacation Club tower at Disney’s Polynesian Resort is set to open in December 2024, and it’s poised to be a fantastic addition for families. Here’s why this new DVC tower will be the perfect place for your family vacation:

Convenient Laundry Facilities

While all DVC resorts offer laundry rooms for everyone, the new Polynesian tower goes a step further by providing in-room washers and dryers in the one-bedroom villas and larger options. This feature makes it easier for families to pack light and take care of laundry needs mid-trip, allowing you to spend more time enjoying your vacation and less time worrying about dirty clothes. Please note that detergent is not supplied.

Easy Access to the Monorail

The monorail is a beloved feature of Disney’s Polynesian Resort, offering guests a quick and easy way to travel to Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. The new tower is conveniently located within walking distance of the main hall, making it even easier to hop on the monorail and start your Disney adventure. This ease of access is perfect for families with young children who may need frequent breaks or who want to avoid the hassle of driving and parking.

Spacious Accommodations

The new tower provides ample space for families, ensuring everyone has room to relax. The one-bedroom villas and larger options feature a full kitchen with a large dining table, perfect for family meals or game nights. The bathrooms are also generously sized, with a primary bath that includes a tub, shower, toilet, and sink, as well as a full second bath. This means less waiting and more comfort for everyone. The one-bedroom villas can sleep up to five people, while the studios can accommodate four, giving you flexible options to suit your family’s needs.

New Pool Area

The addition of a new pool area with the new tower is an exciting feature for families. While guests can still enjoy the popular Lava Pool, the new pool area offers a fresh and closer option for a refreshing dip. This means more opportunities for fun in the sun without the need to walk far from your room. Poolside amenities and activities will also provide additional entertainment for the whole family.
