Proposed Disney Vacation Club Tower for Disney’s Polynesian Villas

The Disney Vacation Club recently announced a new proposed expansion for Disney’s Polynesian Villas and Bungalows. This further expansion appears to be located along the walkway between Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. Unfortunately, this news means the Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show will remain permanently closed. Below is the rendering for this new project.

There haven’t been many details released about the expansion at this time. However, Disney fans seem divided over the idea of this modern hotel.

Long-time Polynesian fans are afraid this contemporary-looking structure will ruin the resort’s overall look and vibe. At the same time, many DVC members are hopeful that one, two, and three bedroom villas will be added to the mix. Currently, the Polynesian Villas only offers deluxe studio villas and the two-bedroom Bora Bora Bungalows that sit out over the water. You may remember we recently took a look at the newly remodeled deluxe studios at the Polynesian.

As for me, one sentence of the press release stood out more than any other:

“Proposed plans would offer additional rooms, new recreation offerings, and dining options.“

New dining and recreation are needed at the Polynesian. While I love the resort, the lounges, restaurants, and pools are nearly always packed. Of course, with this addition comes more rooms, which will mean more guests. Those, along with many other answers, remain unknown at this time. So make sure to check back as we follow the progression of the new villa resort at Disney’s Polynesian.
