More details have been shared about the new DVC tower at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. The Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows is projected to open on 17th December 2024. 

Rooms will take inspiration from the natural elements, with original artwork featuring earth, water, wind, and sky. Each of the rooms will feature custom decor inspired by Moana, with huge murals featuring nods to the characters. As symbols of freedom and protection, Manta Ray motifs will also be a predominant feature throughout the new tower.

The smaller rooms are sleek and stylish, with natural touches throughout.

The 10-story tower will feature numerous room types, sleeping between two and nine guests.
