Wailulu Bar & Grill will feature spacious indoor and outdoor seating areas and a spectacular bar space with views of Cinderella Castle. There’s a casual walk-up pool bar that will feature an all-day menu for lunch and dinner.
There will be plenty of Polynesian-inspired artwork including a “Moana” painting on display. Floating tropical fish sculptures crafted from recycled materials and reclaimed fishing nets are on display in the dining room. The fish will be “swimming” throughout the space, leading to a grand textile piece featured in the bar area, representing a colorful coral reef.
Pool & splash area
Cove Pool — a brand-new zero-entry pool — is an oasis for the whole family. Both Disney Vacation Club members and guests staying at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort will be able to experience these new aquatic features.
For the little ones, Moana’s Voyage is a new splash area that will feature life-size sculptures of Moana and her iconic canoe from the Walt Disney Animation Studios film.
Terrace Gardens
Members and guests staying at the Island Tower addition will have exclusive access to four tropical terrace gardens.
Complete with lush foliage and uniquely themed seating areas, the hideaways will offer picturesque views of Disney’s Oak Trail and Magnolia golf courses or Seven Seas Lagoon, making it a spectacular place for viewing Magic Kingdom fireworks.
Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows is projected to open Dec. 17. Reservations are open for Disney Vacation Club members and guests.
