Hi there, Philip--and welcome home! Thanks so much for visiting planDisney. I'm happy to help with your
Disney Vacation Club query so you can plan your next Disney adventure. Let's get right to it!
The anticipation surrounding the new
Island Tower at Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows is building by the day! Sales for this addition to the shores of Seven Seas Lagoon kick off this very week, and the resort is sure to be a popular destination. The Polynesian is our family's Home Resort, so we've been eagerly awaiting the opening and hope to stay there soon!
When I chatted with some DVC Cast Members recently, they said there is currently no information regarding the addition of a bus stop servicing Island Tower, so it may be that all Guests will be using the location to the left of the entrance of the Great Ceremonial House. I anticipate that once Island Tower opens, adjustments will be made to the current bus and boat options to accommodate the increased number of Guests.
From what we have learned so far, there are no plans to add an additional
Monorail stop, but it appears that the walk from the tower to the station at the Great Ceremonial House will be similar or even a bit shorter than it is from the current DVC buildings at the Polynesian.
Philip, I'm sorry I don't have more specifics for you, but all will be revealed in just a few weeks as the targeted opening date of Island Tower approaches. I can't wait! I recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and the Disney Vacation Club Instagram account for additional updates as they become available. Thanks again for stopping by planDisney, and please come see us anytime if we can help with additional questions.
Stay Magical!
