Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows are projected to open on December 17. We are happy to share a first look at some of the exciting tropical features coming to the Island Tower.
Delicious Dining at Wailulu Bar & Grill
The Wailulu Bar & Grill will deliver delicious flavors of Polynesia right to your tastebuds. “Wailulu” gets its name from the Hawaiian words “war” which means water, and “Lulu” which means calm, which is very fitting as this unique restaurant will boast spectacular views of the Seven Seas Lagoon.
Both indoor and outdoor seating areas will be featured at Wailulu Bar & Grill with stunning views of Cinderella’s Castle at Magic Kingdom Park. The casual walk-up pool bar will offer an all-day lunch and dinner menu influenced by the Polynesian Islands’ local and indigenous ingredients. Specialty coffee and on-the-go morning pastries will be available for breakfast.
Dazzling Polynesian-inspired artwork adorns the dining room, created exclusively for the space, including tropical fish sculptures crafted from recycled materials and reclaimed fishing nets. The fish will be “swimming” throughout the space, leading to a grand textile piece featured in the bar area, representing a colorful coral reef.
Central to the dining room is an abstract Polynesian Stick Chart, an ancient navigation tool used to traverse the seas. The centerpiece, composed of beautiful shades of blue, teal, and green faux stained-glass will create an ambiance to dive in and explore the mouthwatering menu! Our favorite way-finding princess, Moana will be featured in a painting on display in Wailulu Bar & Grill.
Soak Up the Sun in the New Pool & Splash Area
The little ones can make a splash at Moana’s Voyage, a whimsical new splash area that will feature life-size sculptures of Moana and her iconic canoe from the Walt Disney Animation Studios film.
Cove Pool, a brand-new zero-entry pool will also make its home at the Island Tower, giving even more opportunities to relax. Both Disney Vacation Club members and guests staying at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort will be able to experience these new aquatic features.
Take in Stunning Terrace Garden Views
Members and guests staying at the Island Tower addition will enjoy exclusive access to four tropical terrace gardens. Each garden uniquely features vibrant artwork, lush foliage, and themed seating areas. Families will find a serene locale to gather and enjoy the views during their stay.
These oases will offer picturesque views of Disney’s Oak Trail and Magnolia Golf Courses or Seven Seas Lagoon, making it a great place for viewing Magic Kingdom fireworks.
