Disney announced this week that it is planning on opening some new Disney Vacation Club (DVC) villas at the Polynesian Village Resort. Situated on the shores of Seven Seas Lagoon, the proposed property would join the rest of the resort by offering beautiful views of the Magic Kingdom as well as the convenience of Monorail travel.
“It’s no secret that our Members and Guests love the monorail resorts at Walt Disney World,” said Bill Diercksen, senior vice president and general manager of Disney Vacation Club. “Expanding our Disney Vacation Club offerings at the Polynesian would give our Members and Guests yet another incredible option for staying close to the magic while making vacation memories that last a lifetime.”
Inspired by the early concepts for Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Imagineers are honoring the past while furthering the resort story with this addition. Projected to open in late 2024, the proposed vacation ownership property would complement the existing resort and evoke the spirit of the Pacific Islands. The new building will be a tower located near where the Spirit of Aloha used to perform its shows. It’s is being touted as having a modern aesthetic that will still reflect the relaxed island vibes of the Polynesian Resort.
While still in the proposal state, this new DVC resort would offer additional rooms, new recreation offerings, and dining options. Guests will most likely not have to be DVC members to reserve a room, but if they so desired, these rooms will be available through Disney’s Vacation Club program.
