Disney Vacation Club has today announced proposed plans to develop new Disney Vacation Club villas at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort.

New Disney Vacation Club Villas tower 2024

The new tower will be built on the site of the former Spirit of Aloha Dinner show at the Luau Cove with a planned opening in 2024.

Here is the full press release from Disney Vacation Club.

“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, the Imagineers of today are honoring the past while furthering the resort story with this innovative 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.
Situated on the shores of Seven Seas Lagoon, the proposed property would join the rest of the resort in offering stunning views of the Magic Kingdom. Proposed plans would offer additional rooms, new recreation offerings and dining options. More information and project details will be shared at a later date.
Since 2015, Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows has been a favorite resort destination, offering an island paradise in the middle of the magic. Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows currently has 380 Disney Vacation Club villas, including the largest Deluxe Studios at any Disney Vacation Club resort at Walt Disney World and unique two-bedroom Bora Bora Bungalows, located over the waters of the Seven Seas Lagoon – the first of their kind at Disney.

Nothing to wait for - there's no rooftop dining. Which is a missed opportunity. Just a pool bar spot that probably shares the kitchen with whatever the dining (?table service/quick service) will be on the main floor.

You see the big open skyliner launch points? Imagine tables and cupcakes in those.....

Considering bookings open Tuesday I’m guessing we will learn a tremendous amount of detail on Monday.

Hmm. If there isn't a rooftop lounge/restaurant that was a huge miss as well. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Concept art has shown one restaurant at minimum, and I've seen some pictures recently that look like the pool bar at Boardwalk, which I expect you can order food from as well. I don't think any of us know 100% at this point

I've been following, but am still confused. Does this new tower not have Food & Beverage offerings? If not that seems like a total miss.

New restaurant = less room for DVCs, more overhead.

You can also order food at the pool bar, though there is not a ton of seating. Aside from Sanaa to go.

Sanaa does a QS breakfast option, where you can get what you want and either sit in the restaurant to eat or take it with you. The gift shop also has some grab and go items for breakfast.

We love the Polly but I am a little worried about where all these extra folks are going to go for food. Capt. Cooks is always slammed at lunch and we rarely find a place to sit. :( I actually like the way the pool is looking so far...

I hope its a restaurant. Gotta throw a bone to the DVCers...

it sure does look like a restaurant/bar....too big to just be a pool bar. I am hoping they add some features to the final version of the pool...not just a plain pool....if anything it should be more over-the-top than the other pool considering the building is so lightly themed...
