Construction walls have gone up inside the Great Ceremonial House lobby of Disney's Polynesian Village Resort.

The walls surround the Disney Vacation Club sales center, which is likely being updated for the upcoming Island Tower - set to open in December 2024.

The new Island Tower at Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows is set to open on December 17, 2024, and reservations are now open for all guests.

Pricing during the opening week for arrival on December 18, range from $826 per night for the Duo Studio with a Standard View to $5,016 per night for the 2 Bedroom Penthouse with a Theme Park View.

Look close, its still there behind the plants. Plants go in the bed later

I am getting the sense the water feature around the restaurant has been cut? It seems like they filled in where I would assume water would go... with dirt? Unless it's hiding behind the plants they have stacked along the wall.

You’re doing it wrong. You’re supposed to take photos from random places where you can’t see the tower and then act like this is no big deal.

John Hench helped design the Grand Floridian. A true Disney legend. He write about the 5 shades of white used on the Grand Floridian in his excellent book. By Disney standards, the towers are bad. It’s a shame we are getting them and will continue to get more I’m sure.

Have a picture? What site line is it towering over? Like you can see it over the building more than my picture?

I used a Time Machine to go back to Epcot in 2000 and you could barely see the Millennium Wand while you were in the queues for most of the attractions

You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to only try to view the tower from the monorail.

I just watched a video featuring the tattoo artist who designed them. He also worked on Kona Cafe.

When you walk outside from the Great Ceremonial House and out over the lawn, it is towering over the whole sightline on the left.
