Hi Patricia! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question!
I bet you’re dreaming of island breezes right now—especially coming from snowy Minnesota! The brand-new
Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows has me dreaming of a tropical escape too. From what I’ve read, it has a more contemporary feel with a lighter color palette, but it still embraces that relaxing South Pacific vibe we all love.
The Island Tower is about a 5–9 minute walk from the Great Ceremonial House, but if anyone in your group has mobility concerns—or just wants to save their steps—Bell Services can shuttle you over in a golf cart when available. I confirmed this with a Cast Member today, so rest assured it’s an option.
Be sure to check out the
Disney Parks Blog article about the Island Tower when you have a chance. The terrace gardens sound amazing—a serene spot to catch your breath and maybe even some Magic Kingdom fireworks!
As Moana might say, “The line where the sky meets the sea—it calls me!” I hope your visit is just as magical, Patricia!
