The Island Tower, set against the backdrop of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, is an ambitious project that reflects Disney’s commitment to growth and innovation within its vacation club offerings. The tower will house a total of 268 villas, which are designed to cater to a wide range of DVC members and their families. This expansion not only adds to the number of available accommodations but also enriches the diversity of stay experiences at the resort.

With stunning views of Magic Kingdom Park and beautiful interiors that bring you into the storytelling of the South Pacific Islands, the Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows will be a spectacular addition to Walt Disney World Resort right in the heart of the magic.

The Island Tower’s integration into the existing association should allow for both current and future owners to enjoy 11-month advance booking privileges for both the original DVC units and the newly added tower.

Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows first opened its doors in 2015, featuring 360 Deluxe Studio rooms and 20 overwater Bungalows. The new addition of 268 additional units, with a mix of villa sizes that were previously unavailable at this resort, represents a major upgrade for one of Disney’s most popular resorts.

Final Thoughts

In closing, the introduction of the Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort represents a significant enhancement to the Disney Vacation Club portfolio. With 268 new villas, this development not only broadens the scope of accommodation options but also reaffirms Disney’s dedication to delivering exceptional vacation experiences. Cash reservations at The Island Tower will begin on June 4th, 2024, with an anticipated opening date set for December 2024.
