New Details on the DVC Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows

Hey Disney Vacation Club members, get ready for a thrilling new experience at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows! Disney has revealed more exciting details about the new DVC Island Tower, a stunning new addition that will bring the magic of the Polynesian Islands to your Disney vacation. Slated for a December 2024 opening, this 10-story tower overlooking the picturesque Seven Seas Lagoon promises an enchanting journey into the spirit of Polynesia.

A Journey into the Spirit of Polynesia

At Island Tower, you’ll be transported into a world that embodies the rich cultural heritage of Polynesia and the captivating stories woven into Disney’s storytelling magic. With breathtaking views of the Seven Seas Lagoon, the tower pays homage to nature and the spirit of adventure, all while honoring the original vision for Disney’s Polynesian Resort. Fun fact: the original concept designs included a prominent tower at the resort’s heart, and this latest addition will fulfill that dream while showcasing Polynesian culture through modern Disney magic.

Conveniently Connected to Disney’s Monorail

Island Tower will be a haven for park-goers, with convenient walking access to the Disney Monorail, providing swift transit to both Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT. It’s an ideal base for families, couples, or friends looking to explore the wonders of the parks without worrying about complicated transportation logistics.

Inspired Art and Design

As you arrive at Island Tower, be prepared for an artistic treat right from the entrance. The exterior features a stunning depiction of a Manta Ray, a revered Polynesian symbol of freedom, protection, and grace. Within the lobby, a mesmerizing ceiling art panel showcases native wildlife from several Polynesian Islands. Each animal represents the islands’ values and has deep cultural significance.

Disney Imagineering collaborated with over a dozen artists worldwide to create unique pieces for the resort. Look out for preserved moss walls, sculptures crafted from recycled fishing nets, and other artworks rooted in the spirit of conservation and the rich Polynesian cultures. This artistic collaboration will surely make your stay unforgettable.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
