4 New (EXCLUSIVE) Terrace Gardens Coming to Disney’s Polynesian Island Tower

Disney released a few significant updates regarding the new Polynesian Island Tower that’s scheduled to open this upcoming December. We’ve already discussed the Moana-themed splash pad and poolside bar and grill. So for this article, we want to focus on the four new terrace gardens that (per Disney’s announcement) will be exclusive to Island Tower guests and Disney Vacation Club members.

Released: August 22, 2024

Per the Disney Parks Blog:

Members and guests staying at the Island Tower addition will enjoy exclusive access to four tropical terrace gardens. Each terrace garden will feature vibrant artwork, lush foliage and uniquely themed seating areas. The distinctively designed hideaways will offer families a serene locale to gather and take in the views during their stay. Speaking of views, these oasis will offer picturesque views of Disney’s Oak Trail and Magnolia Golf Courses or Seven Seas Lagoon, making it a spectacular place for viewing Magic Kingdom fireworks.

We also found a few additional details on the Disney Vacation Club site, regarding the gardens:

Tower Guests also have exclusive access to 4 gardens—tropical terrace hideaways—each themed to a different island. These impeccably designed terraces highlight the flora and artwork of Bora Bora, Hawaiʻi, Samoa and Fiji. Plus, their uniquely themed seating areas offer spectacular views of Magic Kingdom park fireworks on one side of the tower and Disney’s Oak Trail and Magnolia Golf Courses on the other.
