As the December 2024 opening of the Island Tower at Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows draws closer, new details have been unveiled about a series of exclusive terrace gardens. These tropical hideaways, reserved for Island Tower guests, are themed to represent the islands of Bora Bora, Hawai?i, Samoa, and Fiji.

Hawai'i Terrace Garden

Four Island-Themed Gardens

Each of the four terrace gardens is designed to evoke the spirit of its namesake island. Guests can explore the vibrant artwork and lush foliage that characterize the gardens, creating a unique sense of place within each terrace. The themed seating areas, inspired by the islands of Bora Bora, Hawai'i, Samoa, and Fiji, provide a comfortable and tranquil environment for families to gather and unwind.

One of the standout features of these terrace gardens is their location and the views they offer. Positioned on different sides of the Island Tower, the terraces provide panoramas of Disney's Oak Trail and Magnolia Golf Courses on one side and the iconic Seven Seas Lagoon on the other. For those looking to enjoy a magical moment, the terraces offer a vantage point for viewing the nightly fireworks display from Magic Kingdom.

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!!!
