Menu for Wailulu Bar & Grill at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows unveiled
Get ready for a taste of the tropics! Wailulu Bar & Grill, a brand-new casual pool bar and grill, is set to open its doors at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows on Dec. 17. Located in the newly constructed Island Tower, this vibrant spot offers stunning views of the Seven Seas Lagoon and fireworks displays from Magic Kingdom.
Wailulu Bar & Grill immerses guests in Polynesian culture with its unique ambiance. The space features exclusive artwork inspired by the region, incorporating recycled materials and reclaimed fishing nets for an eco-conscious touch.
The menu is a culinary adventure, showcasing the diverse flavors of Polynesia with influences from Easter Island, New Zealand, Fiji, Guam, and more. Guests can savor dishes like Sweet Potato Hummus with Breadfruit Tostones, Spiced Ham Musubi, and decadent Chocolate Cake infused with the essence of Kona coffee, according to Disney.
The beverage menu is equally impressive, blending modern Polynesian flavors with classic ingredients like hibiscus flowers, sake, yuzu, pandan, oolong tea, coffee, and passionfruit. Signature cocktails include the Pandan Gin Gin Mule and Passionfruit and Pineapple Daiquiri, while non-alcoholic options feature refreshing Hibiscus Iced Tea and Yuzu Oolong Tea Lemonade.
The name “Wailulu” itself reflects the Polynesian spirit, derived from the Hawaiian words “wai” (water) and “lulu” (calm), evoking a sense of tranquility and the beauty of the surrounding waters.
