Update: Construction Continues on DVC Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Resort
Construction continues on the new DVC tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney fans are eager for more information on the upcoming addition.
This week, our team stopped by for a closer look at the progress. Let’s check it out!
DVC Tower Takes Shape
Back in December, the new building received its first round of gray exterior paint, which we speculated was actually primer. Now, MickeyBlog reporters have spotted even more progress as the tower takes shape.
Construction crews are currently hard at work applying another round of paint, this time in various sandy shades of cream and brown.
The warm new shades are consistent with Disney’s original concept art for the tower.
The tower’s intended color palette of natural browns, creams, and tans will help it blend into the resort’s existing landscape.
In addition to the new paint, the Polynesian-inspired roof accent has been installed atop the central portion of the building.
As seen in the concept art, this roofline detail is the highest point of the building and provides the tower with an aesthetically pleasing centerpiece.
Meanwhile, glass windows have been installed along the rear of the building, along with many of the rooms’ sliding glass doors. Partitions have been installed to separate the balconies.
When Will Polynesian’s New DVC Open?
Disney originally announced that the new tower would open sometime in late 2024, and so far that timeline seems reasonable.
While direct sales have yet to begin for the new DVC rooms, we know that the new tower will be part of the pre-existing Polynesian Villas & Bungalows condominium association.
More Construction at the Polynesian
Meanwhile, other areas of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort are also enjoying a bit of attention. MickeyBlog reporters recently spotted construction crews at the Polynesian’s Niue Lounghouse, which is receiving a bit of a refresh.
It seems the whole resort will be looking fresh and clean for the opening of the Polynesian’s new DVC tower later this year!
