Hey Disney Vacationers! Get ready. In just over 10 days, the all-new Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is opening its doors, and with it comes the highly anticipated Wailulu Bar & Grill. This restaurant is set to bring the vibrant flavors of the Pacific Islands to the shores of Seven Seas Lagoon, and Disney just dropped a first look at the menu! Let’s dive into the delicious Wailulu Bar & Grill menu.


Polynesian Vibes, Fireworks Views, and Sustainable Art
Nestled along the water’s edge, Wailulu Bar & Grill offers sweeping views of the Seven Seas Lagoon, and as night falls, you’ll catch glimpses of the Magic Kingdom fireworks. The restaurant’s Polynesian-inspired décor includes artwork crafted with recycled materials and reclaimed fishing nets—a subtle nod to sustainable practices.
Fun fact: The name “Wailulu” comes from the Hawaiian words “wai” (water) and “lulu” (calm), perfectly encapsulating the serene atmosphere you’ll find here.

The menu celebrates Polynesian flavors with influences from across the Pacific Islands, including Easter Island, New Zealand, Fiji, and Guam. Expect bold dishes and drinks that highlight tropical ingredients like hibiscus, yuzu, passionfruit, and Kona coffee.
