FIRST LOOK: Disney Unveils Moana Splash Pad Coming to Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows
After teasing the project at D23: The Ultimate Fan event, Disney gave fans a sneak peek of the new Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows in August.
At the time, it was revealed that a Moana’s Voyage splash area was coming to the resort, featuring life-size sculptures of Moana and her iconic canoe. Designed to let young guests embrace their inner wayfinder, fans were understandably excited about the prospect of the new water play area.
