One pair of sliding glass doors has been installed on a guest room of the new Disney Vacation Club tower under construction at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. The tower is scheduled to open in late 2024, taking over the space previously occupied by the Spirit of Aloha dinner show, which closed permanently with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A trench carved out beside the tower has collected some rain water. This could eventually become the tower’s private pool.

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort opened with Walt Disney World in general in 1971. It recently underwent an extensive refurbishment. While the standard rooms received “Moana” theming, the Disney Vacation Club Studios received “soft goods” refurbishments, meaning only the upholstery, art, and related accompaniments were updated.
The resort also received a new Monorail station and port-cochére. The entrance to the resort was re-themed to match the new structures.

Kona Café reopened late last year after being closed for over two months, with all new seating, décor, and more. The Kiki Tikis Splash Play Area and Lava Pool slide were also refurbished in early 2023. The rugs and most upholstery in the lobby of the Great Ceremonial House were replaced, too.
