Construction on the new Disney Vacation Club Tower is showing significant progress this week at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort.


The foundations of the building can now clearly be seen, giving an idea of the size and position of the building.


Several concrete pads are visible on the site and forms for the building's foundation structure.

The new DVC tower at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort has a planned opening in 2024.

Exactly. It's to keep people safe from that initial unseen blast out of the water that crocodilian's do from the waters edge.

That sounds just like something a gator would say if it was trying to lure me into a false sense of security. And you have green skin in your profile pic! Gator!!!!

The barriers are more about keeping people away from the edge of the water vs trying to contain alligators. Gators will climb fences so they are a deterrent at best. Gators are ambush predators. They wait at the edge of the water and go after what they perceive as prey when it is at the water's edge. The gator problem is largely solved if you can keep people away from the edge of the water.

Ahh ok. I’m guessing this section here? Based on the aerial it does seem like the railing just abruptly stops, which doesn’t look great. But I think it does make sense where it’s stopped. It stops right around the point where the distance between the path and the water increases significantly. And as it continues on towards Riviera, it looks like there is a bunch of plantings between the path and the water, which Disney might consider enough of a barrier. Maybe?

OK, I'm actually referring on the side in front of the Riviera Skyliner Station along between Caribbean Beach there and The Skyliner to Riviera on this section.

The beach at Riviera also has rock, fence, and signs. It seems consistent to me. They have the fencing and signs up at the beaches and in places where the pathway goes directly along the water. In areas where the pathway is further from the water, they don’t.

No idea. Next time you are there ask them and get back to me.

They didn't put signs up before this incident. Why didn't they if they knew!

Some places such as an example Caribbean Beach has the fencing and sign just like 7 Seas Lagoon, however once you approach Riviera it ends and it's all open.. why 😅😶
