Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort hotel is a super popular option for a whole host of reasons — and it’s about to get even more popular!

Later this year, the Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas and Bungalows will open, and we’ve been keeping an eye out for all the updates we can get. We’ve seen a sneak peek at some of the rooms and other areas of the hotel, including a full 3D room tour, too. But, we happened to notice something as we were perusing through the concept art — and we think you might be excited about it too!
The new Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is set to open on December 17th, 2024! It’s a Disney Vacation Club property, but anyone is invited to book a reservation here. The 10-story tower will feature rooms of different sizes for parties of all shapes and sizes, plus dining options and more. But, if you ask us, the best thing about this new tower is going to be the VIEW!

In the concept art for some of the rooms, you can clearly see Magic Kingdom — and Cinderella Castle in the background, which makes sense given where the tower is located. This means that there will be NEW views for watching Magic Kingdom fireworks!

Just like the beach at the Polynesian now, which is near the location of the Island Tower, you’ll be able to get a glimpse of the show without having to leave the resort. They typically even pipe in the music to go along with the fireworks, and we’re hopeful that will be the case here.
But, not only will you likely be able to view the fireworks from the common areas of the Island Tower on the water and at the restaurants, but certain hotel rooms will have views as well — meaning you could literally watch fireworks from your bed.

Unless they cut down many trees, I would say the Polynesian resort view is better than Polynesian DVC. Contemporary probably still wears the crown for best view.
