Disney Opens Polynesian Island Tower, Blending Cultural Heritage and Sustainability

The new 10-story resort at Walt Disney World offers spacious accommodations, Polynesian-inspired design, and eco-friendly innovations.

The Island Tower at Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows officially opened on December 17, 2024, expanding the iconic Polynesian Village Resort with over 260 rooms.
The resort integrates Polynesian cultural elements, with input from cultural advisors, and features subtle Disney touches, including nods to 'Moana.'
Accommodation options range from duo studios for two to two-bedroom penthouses for up to nine guests, catering to families and larger groups with amenities like full kitchens and in-unit laundry.
Sustainability is a core focus, with energy-efficient systems, recycled materials in design, and Disney World's first all-electric kitchen at the Wailulu Bar & Grill.
Guests can enjoy new amenities such as the Cove Pool, terrace gardens with prime fireworks views, and Polynesian-inspired dining options at the waterfront restaurant.
