DVC Tower to replace ‘Spirit of Aloha’ show area at Polynesian Village Resort

A new Disney Vacation Club Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Resort will be built on the site of the former Spirit of Aloha Dinner show at the Luau Cove, Disney announced.

Projected to open in late 2024, the proposed vacation ownership property would complement the existing resort and evoke the spirit of the Pacific Islands. 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, according to Disney.

“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.”

Located on the shores of Seven Seas Lagoon, the proposed property will join the rest of the resort in offering 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.
