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.

Those palms trees are blocking my view of the Grand Flo 😤

Dang...so ugly... Sad that they just don't care anymore.

The Grand Floridian is such a distraction and a stain on the horizon. All that giant un-adorned white should just be burned to the ground obviously to preserve Walt's original vision of never putting hotels near the Resort Kingdom of the World.

You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to use a telephoto lens to exaggerate its looming presence. Photos that replicate what one would see in real life are just so uneditorial.

Few More - Ferry to WL If I had to guess, this tower is visable in some way or another from these locations at the monorail: Otherwise it's not very visable at the Poly or the Grand Flo unless you're in certain rooms. Bonus shot of a rainbow above Space Mountain:

These were taken 2 weeks ago, just to give everyone an idea of view. From the monorail leaving the Contemporary. From Trader Sams Tiki Terrace On the Monorail to Grand Flo - you can't see the building until this point: From the Monorail going in to Magic Kingdom. You can't see the building until this point coming from Grand Flo Example, here is the view from the Monorail heading to MK (this is from a video, excuse the resolution) 826187826188 Here you finally see the top: 826189 Walking from the buses to MK, it becomes more visable as you get in front of the train station. 826190

Clearly based on Māori and Pacific Island tribal tattoos... When can we expect objections of cultural appropriation to start?

If those tattoos are anything like on people can you imagine what they will look like in 20yrs ---yuck

Don't worry. There will only be ten rooms open. The rest will be 'shuttered' so that the resorts' percent-full figure looks good on quarterly reports!!!
