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

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.

My mistake. Poly guests smell like pineapple upside-down cake after they’ve baked at 350 for 20 minutes.

That is the skyliner station

It will function in shuttle mode to take guests from this lavishly-appointed tower directly to MK. No mixing with the degenerates staying in the Polynesian Village.

I didn’t see an exit on the other side though. I sense a slight design flaw! 😉

Smart bird.

I just get out of my Tesla and tell it to just keep circling the greater Orlando area until I call for it.

Rich people don’t drive. There is plenty of space for your driver, Murray, to drop you off under the porte cochere.

Thank you. I hope that is enough for the resort. I found it difficult to find a space at VGF when we stayed last time and had to park in the main lot. It made for a long hike back to the room.

But for 20 more points you can have preferred parking that gets you 20 feet closer to the entrance.......

And parking spots are only 10 points each!!

It’s nice that they left that cut-out for the monorail to pass through.

Thanks. I don’t remember seeing that. However I thought there were estimated to be 150+ rooms? Less than 1 space per room doesn’t seem enough.

There will be a separate parking lot with parking for approximately 125 vehicles.

The parking lot that already barely doesn't have room for existing Poly guests?
